Online Backup
A friend tipped me off to Mozy, a rather cool and free online backup application. Files are encrypted using a private passphrase/key of your chosing and transmitted over SSL. You get 2gb for free and up to 4 restores per month. The interface is fairly easy to use and will automatically back up stuff like Thunderbird mailboxes or Outlook PST files. Right now its Windows-only.

Hi, you can also try IBackup for Windows for secure backups of important data. IBackup has been around for some time and from my own experience I recommend it for fast and easy backups and restores.
IBackup is fast and it does incremental and compressed backups. Uisng their easy-to-use wizards, you can easily do interactive backups, restores and schedule backups and restores. You can backup data by `mirroring,’ which maintains the absolute path of the source files. You don’t have to worry about security, as all data transfer is encrypted with 128-bit SSL encryption.
The coolest thing about IBackup for Windows is that you can `map’ your online account as a `local drive’ on your computer and work on the data as you normally do. For this you will have to download and install IDrive. With IDrive share files or folders with others for collaborative access. All you need to do is just create a sharable links for the file/folder and email the links.
You can `privately share’ data with another IBackup user with the help of Web-Manager. In other words, an IBackup user can instantly share selected data with another user. This feature can also be turned off whenever required. You can use Web-Manager to create folders, rename, move and delete files or folders.
IBackup has options to store and backup multimedia files. With IDrive Multimedia you can move all the multimedia files to your IBackup account, create playlists of files and play them using any media player. Web-Manager can automatically sense the presence of images in your account and display an image gallery for you.
Yeah but after reading that they keep your data on cheap hard drives wrapped in tin foil... I think you get what you pay for. I use an automatic online backup tool from Data Deposit Box to sync my files... It's very inexpensive and once you set it up, there is nothing to do.
