      @quixoticgerber should look at something like BackBlaze.

      Not for Linux

        Ah, there it is. I was thinking it wouldn't work for some reason.

          So I need to back everything up, so looks like investment in a few 64GB flash drives is in my future to back all that up. and then I will have a Linux laptop. Never used Linux before.

          That is not a backup, it is a copy. It is also totally not how backups work.

          It's correct to say it's no longer a backup once there is only one copy - the copy on the USB stick. For one to have a true backup, you'd have to have at least two copies (a copy on two different USB sticks).

          No. Making a copy of the data is part of a back up but it is not a back up. Ever.

                  having a moral issue because I am going to have to convert my laptop to a coding machine, since my custom desktop doesn't have the space, it seems. Probably better anyway, to make me more mobile, but it's more efficient for me to basically reformat it, since it's been so slow. I just have a lot of sorting to do of pictures and music on the device. It's been my primary mobile media system.

                  So I need to back everything up, so looks like investment in a few 64GB flash drives is in my future to back all that up. and then I will have a Linux laptop. Never used Linux before.

                  Maybe something like Google Drive or Amazon Drive or Dropbox would make sense for you.

                    LOL - Was fully expecting that from Scott.

                    Hey free tix, and I wanted to see it anyhow, even if it sucks.

                      CrashPlan should work on Linux.

                        I'm a big fan of Amazon Cloud Drive... even though they've capped the storage available to customers.

                          Duplicati and Backblaze B2. Weather it makes financial sense you'd have to figure out as it's a different pricing model. It's what I've been using for my personal stuff.

                            B2 Is double the cost of crash plan for me

                                  I try to choose my words carefully, as I love clarity in speech. I think Sage 50 Accounting Quantum is one of the worst applications to support. The Pervasive SQL database is one of the most fragile things ever developed.

                                      I'd like to take it further and suggest a backup is not only a copy of your data, but a usable or restorable copy of your data.
