Backing Up My Site

    Hello. I am looking for additional ways to back up my website. I have it backed up on my computer and also an external hard drive, and I create back ups in my web host control panels every couple of days. However my webhost doesn't keep them more than a week so if I forget to do a back up there might not be one if I am ever in need. Then if my computer breaks and I lost my external hard drive, my year of hard work would all be gone!

    I know it's unlikely, but still I am looking for another place to store my site, online. Does anyone know of a good service? I am aware of amazon s3 and they seem good. But are there others that are better, or is Amazon s3 the way to go?

    You can try Dropbox and other filehosting services.
    You can also have your files on your flash drive or mobile phone.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Could you tell me if I use Dropbox are my files safe from people accessing them on the net?

    Sorry for the late response. I'm not sure about that, but sign up and test it, you have nothing to lose :)
