Primarily, an on-site USB will have quicker backups and restores and be generally easier to secure. It is more vulnerable to theft, fire/physical damage, and electrical surge since you are basically putting all of your data in one physical location. > > For off-site, you might look at <a href="http://crashplan.com">crashplan.com</a>. They are $6 a month for unlimited backup, but it is intended as a backup service, not a "cloud storage" service. For cloud storage, Google drive is around $5 per month for 100 GB, Amazon cloud drive is around $4.20 per month for 100 GB or there are thousands of other providers small and large in various price ranges. > > Preston Hi, <a href="http://copy.com">copy.com</a> offers 20gb free and has a handy little linux app which makes life easy! Again more of a cloud than back-up, upload can be slow but great for them photos and vids you just can't afford to loose!
