Firsy, my wife and I are all Apple. We have a Time Capsule with 2T memory that is constantly updating our data. We also use Dropbox, Evernote, and a web based cloud CRM. I needed a service when we had PCs, but not now.

I use Carbonite to do constant back ups on the fly. I also transfer files between my home and work computers on a flash drive on a daily basis that in effect is another backup.

Proudly serving Central Florida!

I use Apples Time Machine on my external HD. Some stuff is in iCloud, Dropbox, and Evernote as well. My laptop backs up constantly when it is plugged in at my home office. It is also a good idea to use a Solid State Drive (SSD) instead of a Hard Disk Drive (HDD). The SSD's cost more, but have no moving parts to fail.
