Online backup - anyone use McAfee?

[judet]

We're looking into online backup options at the moment as we've reached the limit whereby carbonite throttles our upload speed and makes it all painful and irritating...

Found lots of excrutiatingly expensive options out there and then we came across McAfee which seems to be reasonable. Can't find any real negatives, wondered if any of you had experience with it? Looks like they bought out Mozy and rebranded their better pricing options, but I remember Mozy being well thought of until it became expensive.

Thanks!

i never knew McAfee did backups!

i use Backblaze and am quite satisfied with the service.

Have you ever had to restore anything Amy? How did it go?

 

[alb52]

unfortunately, yes. it was super smooth - took a while to download but was back up and running with all the files i had backed up easily. whew - was so worth it!!

How long did it take for your initial backup? Was it months?

lol no a few days... but it ran continuously in the background so i really didn't even notice. no system slowing or anything. still picks up really fast when i upload gigs of photos off my camera.
