Roxio BackOnTrack Online Contest
Written by Karl L. Gechlik | AskTheAdmin.com on February 26, 2008 – 5:37 am -
We have looked at loads of free backup solutions and as our readers pointed out they all have their limitations. It’s either capped uploads, downloads or slow as hell speeds.
The old saying you get what you pay for is some times true… (AtA tries to avoid it as much as possible) When dealing with your data and backups its probably better to deal with a reputable company charging a modest price ($50 a year or $90 for 2 years) than a company you never heard of.
Check out what happened to our good friend Paul over @ Bauer-Power.net when he tried to use Media Max’s free services. Let’s just say it wasn’t a good experience that left him all warm and fuzzy inside!
Enter Roxio’s new BackOnTrack online service. It has unlimited automated backup goodness written all over it. If you are someone who loses files and bangs their heads against their desk for hours on end (name with held due to us liking sex) then this is the solution for you. Aparently you back up automatically and can restore from My Computer!
We will be giving it a test run this week and in the mean time we have a contest for you. The information is below and all you have to do is leave a comment or sign up for our Email Updates. Either way or both will give one or two entries respectively. Check back for our full review later on this week!
AtA and Roxio present a little contest action once again.
Contest prizes include:
(2- First place prizes) Roxio t-shirt and flash drive
(Grand Prize) 1 year subscription of Roxio BackOnTrack Online (valued at $49.99) plus 1 flash drive and Roxio t-shirt
Roxio BackOnTrack Online is a simple online digital media protection solution that automatically keeps your irreplaceable digital media and important files protected.
Every hard dive crashes, it’s just a matter of time. Roxio BackOnTrack Online is the complete online digital media protection solution that automatically keeps your irreplaceable files - digital photos, family videos, key financial records, essential documents, and other important files protected and encrypted. Setup an account in minutes—simply enter your email address and password and Roxio BackOnTrack Online does the rest, backing up and protecting your data and digital media automatically and continuously in the background. Then, when the unthinkable happens, your computer crashes or you mistakenly delete an important file, recover them quickly and easily with Roxio BackOnTrack Online, your secure digital media vault.

So it's basically just a rebranded Carbonite. Same exact pricing as Carbonite too.
I prefer Mozy. Did some test restores and everything worked well. Thankfully, I haven't had to do any very large restores yet. Mozy was recently bought by EMC so there is some serious money and storage behind it now. They also allow you to use your own encryption key.
The other nice thing about Mozy is that you get 2 Gigs for free but you can get more space through referrals. I now have 11.5 Gigs of free space through my shameless referrals.

I'm not so sure about these online backup services, but I wouldn't mind giving one a try. And who wouldn't like some AskTheAdmin.com swag.

Rsync over SSH is insufficient…why? If you're on Linux and need incrementals with bare-metal restore abilities, Mondo+Mindi will turn the contents of your hard disk into a pile of ISOs and replace old dailies with just one from that week after a while…however you set it up. And then you can burn the ISOs from the backup server and have a full set of restore disks to go back to whatever point in time you want.

This is exactly what I need! I didnt win your laser so gimmie something Admin!
By Mackenzie on Feb 29, 2008 | Reply
I've done the rsync one with a cronjob. I don't have a server to use Mondo+Mindi, though. My friend Spec might be able to help on that tutorial though. I think that's what he uses at work.
