What do you use at home?

I'm looking for someting to backup a desktop and laptop both running XP.

I have also invested in a 320Gb external thingy from Seagate.


Cheers.

I have been using Mozy, but man it's slow. I've got a portable hard drive, and if nothing else M$ backup will do the trick.

Mozy for offline and good old M$ SyncToy for keeping an external hard drive in sync with the desktop, and also to keep the desktop in sync with two laptops. Works a treat.

I use carbonite for off site backups, and syncback to move files from my main pc to my NAS. i usually copy the stuff from my NAS to an ext drive, although i have become slack with this since carbonite finally has all 80Gb of my important stuff
