OK, so I’m interested in hearing how long it takes these backup services to pull 1gb (on average) over a T1 line. Also:

What’s their pipe size, their speed guarantee, stability issues, etc.?
What is their security policy when it comes to HIPAA regulations?
Do they guarantee any confidentiality of information?

OK, I guess everyone is going to vote for who they like. I have been backing up for years and http://www.disksave.com is by far the best. I compared their service to what I get at my job as far as data backup and it blows it away. User friendly software, and instant restores. All of these other services that are free or cheap do not support themselves by giving you the best customer service or the best restore features. I’m sure there are other good ones, but http://www.disksave.com is the best I have found and intend to stay with them for a long time.

I use IBackup service for my data ,they are offering 128 bit ssl, 256 bit AES,SQL,Exchange(even single mail box!!!! can’t believe is it true) backup/restore, locked files backup and more important thing is I can download my data on any PC, even using wireless slow speed connections during my travel , their user interface is much friendly with 24*7 customer support ,unlike mozy where interface is complex with offering data in zip files format only. Besides this their storage is flexible enough to use beyond quota and pay later.
Now with new product IDrive-E with enchanced features like network drive facility and 2GB free space, I won’t leave them easily.

I’m happy that you love online storage and you are pretty happy with Mozy.

Want to try a service that lets you do online backups and restores daily? Then check IBackup.

From my experience, IBackup is much better than other services. There are no limits set for backups and restores. IBackup is feature-rich and user friendly. All data transfer with IBackup is secure with the highest level of 128-bit SSL encryption on transmission.

With their `Snapshots’ feature an IBackup account holder can view the files and folders stored in his IBackup account during the previous days. It works like a data history. IBackup for Windows maintains the log of all the sessions of interactive and scheduled backups or restore and the user can watch them.

To know more about them, just go to IBackup.

Oh yes, Mozy is definitely the best online data backup service around. Of course there are many sites where you can store large amounts of data for free (see for example http://www.jdempsey.com/2005/12/08/free-online-file-storagesending/) but these are not suitable for making regular backups of important data.

I have been using Mozy for about a month now and I am very impressed, the best thing about it is that you don’t notice that it is there, it backs up your files without interupting your work and in case of a disaster (lets hope this won’t happen), you can easily restore your files. I haven’t tested the restore function yet, but judging from the way my files are backed up I think this should work well (fingers crossed).

Sounds good! I think I should have a better back-up policy than “oh crap, my hard drive just died” =P
