[Dx4win] Beyond Sync - has anyone tried it?

 I sees Syncback as well as using Backblaze for offsite backup.

What I do is to have a syncback "job" that runs hourly that copies any
changed files from underneath my "ham radio" directories to another
directory on my computer. In addition, I use Backblaze (a commercial
service, I think it's $50/yr, see backblaze.com for details) which runs
essentially in real-time to back up my whole computer to their servers.

With Backblaze, I've got archival storage so I can pull back an older
version of a file if needed.

I've found that between these two I'm reasonably well covered. Both
syncback and Backblaze are smart enough to only back up when files have
changed.

If you really want belt and suspenders, you could add on one of the
other services like Mozy which will let you back up (I think) 2Gb for
free to their site, so you've got an extra version, or you could use
something like Dropbox too.
