This gives you the advantages of fast local backup/recovery and disaster-proof online backup. Check out http://www.keepvault.com which provides both online and local backup in realtime starting at $4/month. I found it to be faster than both mozy and carbonite.

Cost me £2.99 per month and backups up to my local usb drive and online automatically. Try looking at http://www.blockbackup.com I have been using them for 6 months or so and works well.

Its always better to backup online, some of good free applicatios for it are Mozy, SOS, carbonite and Idrive. Other service from HPupline worth mentioning but now it is discontinued.

For me SafeCopy is a perfect fit. It allows me to backup all my USB drives, external and network drives. It also allows me to share files over 1GB easily. I love it and it might be worth checking it.

I had the same issue with Mozy. I think the service is aptly name. MyOtherDrive.com schedules backups for a time period and I set the time to be 12:00am. even though i have been on at that time I didn't really notice that much CPU usage. I have decent bandwidth with my internet service so if you're on slow internet service you may see otherwise. @Andrew

I don't know, but I do hope people who are using any of these will chime in. What I suggest is that you also use a local NAS like the WD World Book Edition (I'm looking to get one next week) for your quick backup needs and then have the online solution just back that device up. If you set your Mac up to do nothing vs. sleep or hibernate when you close the lid, it will still backup. @Andrew
