Alternatives to Livedrive?

    I recently signed up to the Backify deal (who resell Livedrive), but I'm wildly unimpressed; 2 weeks later, only a small portion of the files I set to backup have done so.

    I have approx 50GB of files (mainly photos) I've like to have an online backup of (not synching between PCs). Does anyone have any free/cheap recommendation for such?

    P.

    How fast is your upload speed? This could be the problem. Use local backup (hard-drive) and store off site.

    Or if it's photos's I use a premium flickr account:
    www.flickr.com

    But this could also be slow if your upload speed is slow.

    Speed will be dictated by the upload speed of you internet connection.

    What net connection and upload do you have.

    Also are you using wifi or wired directly to the modem or router. At what speed?

    Theres loads of them, Skydrive, DropBox etc. I haven't used them as my upload is too slow to make them useful.

    Actually, it seems to have improved lately; I think the problem may have been at their end. I'm on NTL 25 Mbps; think the upload on that is 2Mbps? My backup is 50% done anyway....
