Quicken Online Backup isn't all that great. About the only good thing is that it integrates with Quicken. I tried it for a week or so and then cancelled it. You can't actually delete anything once you back it up. I backed up a non-password protected Quicken file and wanted to delete it, but there was no way. Nov 30, 2009 - Only a long time Quicken user will empathize with the trauma of having. I'm using Quicken 2007 for the Mac, updated with the R2 updater and the R3 Certificate updater. I've used Quicken since 1994 to keep track of my expenses and investments. That's right, this file has 15 years of meticulous data in it. Existing Quicken users will have to pay an “annual toll” to keep using the product; otherwise, your data is read-only. I Can Sync With More Banks When Using Personal Capital From my testing of both products extensively (I have over 60 financial accounts), Personal Capital supported more of my accounts. I contacted support and they confirmed you can't delete stuff on your own, only put stuff there. Not the most intuitive or convenient process. XDrive is another option, the first 2 gigs are free and you have full control over the content. My email service has unlimited storage, I just attack my backup files to a email message and do it that way.

Get it here: -----------* * * * ----------------- After releasing the latest security/bugfix of QuickTime 7 on Windows, it's now Vista and Win7 only, plainly refuses to install on Windows 8 or Windows 10. Update: As pesos kindly pointed out, Apple has released a fixed version of QuickTime 7.7.8 that installs on Windows 10 and lower. User reported that QW's online backup is tied to the HD from which you initiate the service - sounds like a cookie with a code or similar. User tried but could not download backups to a new/different HD. This would preclude recovering from a HD failure. User did not contact support to see if there is a work-around in the event of a HD failure. Would seem to be a serious limitation to this online service. Thanks for all your comments, everyone. I'm currently checking out Xdrive and Mozy. I like that Xdrive doesn't require a software client, and that free storage has been increased to 5GB, though I expect 2GB will be more than enough for my purposes. I haven't installed the Mozy client yet, but its description of security measures are quite reassuring. I've been looking at online backup services for quite a while now, and I'm amazed at the price difference. Some are free/inexpensive, while others are rather pricey. Thx and Regards, Margaret.

Actually yes, especially having been a computer network security professional, I *never* thought I'd even consider putting my private financial data out there on someone else's servers. But as I no longer have an office to which I can securely ftp my backups, I need another solution. And burning DVDs to store in my safe deposit box isn't cutting it. That's one reason why I asked about Quicken's online storage, rather than some of the others mentioned. Free makes me a bit nervous, but it seems like Mozy gets some pretty respectable reviews. I've heard Xdrive is good, but when I saw it's owned by AOL, I wasn't quite so interested. I'm currently trying Carbonite and am about to try Mozy. Really when I think out it, businesses have been outsourcing IT (and thus backup) for years. It makes sense that a home market would evolve. And that there will inevitably be some security breaches (um remember CD Universe and the credit card num leak of years ago?). I was pretty paranoid re backup, security and disaster recovery when I was working, and although what I run at home must seem like a fortress to many home users (should I bore with a description), I do need a simple way of safeguarding data that I simply can't afford to lose.

In many ways, I like the nonintrusive interface, but it doesn't look like Carbonite does anything re version tracking, as does Memeo Internet Disk. Mind you, Memeo's support is non-existent, and it wasn't sufficiently reliable for my taste. When I installed Carbonite earlier today, it wanted to back up C: Documents and Settings as well as 'My Documents.' Well, that's nearly 24GB of data!
