CrashPlan for Online BackUp of the iMac

My laptop has iOmega which I back it up to weekly.


2005 notes?

I've been burned in the past, it's only a matter of time. Floppies are obsolete. What to do?

My laptop isn't huge, only total of 6Gb in 2 partitions.

Criteria:

  • USB interface (simpler than dealing with the extension module to hit the other ports) (hmmm, does my machine handle USB v2?)
  • can attack/unattach without restarting
  • supports copying standard files, not just closed archive format
  • software to mirror partition, plus ability to just backup a given folder

Possibilities:
