Buying MS Office 365 + backup to onedrive

Options
Hi


I want to purchase Office 365, best price I can find so far is £60 here:


http://www.coastalsoftware.co.uk/microsoft-office/microsoft-office-365/office-365-home-premium-for-mac-and-windows-5-user-install


Anyone know a better deal? I would buy another version outright but I will need Access which seems to put the price up a lot.


I would also like to save money by ditching Carbonite (online backup) and backup to the 1TB onedrive account I would get; what would be the best program for this? Preferably free but I don't mind paying for good software. If it could also back up files on my NAS so much the better (although I have other options there, it is a Synology).


Thanks in advance.

    I have done it with Amazon about £3 more.

    Great software worth it for the Outlook alone. One drive also works well and less clutter on the computer you can log on with multiple machines. Dont know what you mean by 'software' certainly nothing fancy needed to save to Onedrive and you can easily copy files from your computer there.

    Purchased my copy from cconline cost £49.55 (unfortunately currently out of stock), also set up all the PCs to use OneDrive as the default location for documents, pictures etc, this will automatically back up and allow access from any PC where you are logged in using your Microsoft account and access anything anywhere using the web interface.

    OneDrive isn't much use for backup, I've looked into this myself. Microsoft are positioning OneDrive for storing new documents and pictures and keeping them in sync with what's on your PC's OneDrive folder, but there's no way of backing up a snapshot of entire C:\ drive to include documents not synced to OneDrive.
    best price I can find so far is £60 here:

    That's an annual subscription price, of course.
