I've also wondered about this subject.
How do we feel about automatic online backups? Kim Komando promotes one that costs about $50 a year. Then there's a free one called Mozy, or something similar.
I must admit, online makes sense to me... especially the automatic part. After all, if you use a thumb drive or something similar and you have a fire or some other disaster, wouldn't you lose that too?
What say you?
