I think I had some free Xdrive space a long time ago that came along with some kind of software or hardware. I did use it to back up a few things, but now I couldn't even tell you what my user name was or what I had there! I had completely forgotten about it until I read this article.
Following links a few weeks ago, I read a comment by Rich Legg of Leggnet's Digital Capture on another blog. Rich mentioned that he uses Flickr as an online backup of his photographs.

My thoughts, exactly, Phil. It won't be me with dial-up, for obvious reasons.
