Google Auto Back up and storage.

We are currently on a Virgin pasckage that includes 10KB free back up and storage. we are only using about 4GB of this mainly for photogaphs and some doucuments, However the Virgin back up and storage about 5 times years asks me to resign in and set it up again. The running last time to get it back despite the small amount used took 10 hours. We have noticed that Google have a free back up and storage, so is that worthwhile and can it be run in parrell or can you only have one back up and storage running at the same time. Any advise would be appreciated as our concern is that the Virgin Back up and storage does not do what it was intended to do .

    It should not interfere with each other.
    Google drive only backs up it's own folders, don't think their is an easy way to backup your "My Documents" file without moving it into the Google Drive sync folder!

    Having a USB drive with a backup can be handy as well ^_~

    OK I Googled "Auto Back up and storage".

    What do I do next? :D

    BTW I use BackBlaze. It's not free but it's the cheapest and best value for money to backup ALL your files. I have 500gb backed up with them, and it's very fast.
    Look at it this way... In a hundred years who's gonna care?

    blank dvd, 10p, 4.7GB, takes a couple of minutes, external hard disk backup even quicker. macrium reflect free backs up everything, which is rather useful when a machine doesn't boot or a hard disk fails.
