[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1360925, member: 54417"] If I understand it correctly, you have already a backup on an external disk in the house and now you want a second backup of the same data on Google Docs ( or similar. ) It is technically feasible, but my suggestion is not to do that, for the simple reason that there is no legal framework around storing your data on-line. In which country will Google Docs store your data ? What law will be applicable ? What guarantee do you have that your data on Google Docs will be available to you when you need it ? My suggestion is to create a 2nd backup on a hardware encrypted USB pen drive ( IRONKEY ) and store it off site. If your data exceeds the capacity of a pen drive, use a hard disk and store it off-site. My 2 cents. Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
