I began investigating CrashPlan, and they have discontinued the "Crashplan for Home" and are only keeping "CrashPlan for Small Business".. If one is interested in the smaller scale/cheaper service, they recommend Carbonite.. with a link to their site. (If you already have "CrashPlan for Home" they offer a good discount for a year to Carbonite, with free transfer of data.) I called Carbonite. Their simple plan, "One computer", has three options. Click the Buy Now button to access the "Plus" and the "Prime" options. -The Basic, for $72/yr, is unlimited backup on one computer, and it's internal hard drive. Manual video upload only. The Plus, $112/yr, has external hard drive backup as well, and automatic video backup. The Prime, $150yr, has all of the above and a Courier recovery service, which means they will send a hard drive to you if you need to restore a lot of files (plus $9.99).... **NOTE, they do not, under any plan, let you mail in a hard drive to be copied. The CrashPlan for Small Business touts a $10/mo plan (with no extra charges), cancel at any time. : so I did some further reading. Their sales dept is closed on weekends, so I wrote on their contact form my questions. I want to confirm that I could sending them a hard drive to start the process. And to find any "extra hidden charges".. AND also they say can back up as many devices as needed - I'm asking for the extra charges and to define that, does it include more than one external hard drive. fyi, Linda -- _____________________ Linda M.
