@jaredbusch good to know, thank you!
That's why I mentioned something like DropBox. Can work really well for that. You just pop everything you want to keep into that and let it sync. Then let it sync back.

@scottalanmiller OK, yeah. I'm sorry if I misled anyone. Just p***ing and moaning needlessly over saving my photos and music when it's literally a set-and-forget process when I pick the right tools. I should be backing these up all along anyway.

For photos, if you have Amazon Prime, they have a free service for that. Flickr is great and has some free tier for that as well.

In that case, you're "moving" the data (to USB stick), because you have the intention of it being the only copy, therefore not a backup.
I would make two copies of your original data on different media, so that you aren't left with a single copy when you format your drive. That way you will have a backup.

We were just discussing ways to beat their pricing for tiny clients last night
They have basically nothing to offer a shop over ~12 users already.

@scottalanmiller what did you come up with?

Now talking with @BluGhost23 about him getting his radio license. Kind of feel like a radio ambassador.

Some early ideas. Seems pretty plausible to do.

How are they so large if they don't have anything to offer organizations with more than 12 users?

How did you arrive at the 12 user quantity? -

I never said that they weren't a solid company, I recommend them all of the time. But their cost is insane once you get any number of users. Just run the numbers, it's crazy.

RingCentral is my "go to" for tiny shops of a couple of people. But at around 12 users, they start to be too expensive with too few business features. And as you add users, their cost goes through the roof, while with other models cost stays nearly flat. By the time you are into the high teens of users, the cost differential is just crazy.
-
I think we just did a comparison against them for a 14 person company and they were double the MSRP of their competition, with fewer business features. We beat them on a project two days ago, our price was $1200 and theirs was around $9000.
