When my laptop, Miss Fly, needed servicing last year, I was in a panic. I didn't have any extra hard disk (which reminds me I need to get an external one soon) and I didn't have enough empty dvd to burn my data. Luckily for me, I thought of
online backup and that literally saved my day. I was able to save all my data and when Miss Fly came back, I just needed to download the files and I'm in business again.
Cheerio...
