What is the best online backup system to use for mac?
A system of the follow three combined:
As for online services, someone may have a favorite, but many are very similar. Pick your favorite from Zipcloud, Mozy, Backblaze. All are pretty good.
By online, do you mean backup to the cloud, where you pay a monthly fee for the service to host your data?
If this is the case, then there are a lot of services (do not know them all, but DropBox, CrashPlan, Carbonite, Mozy, SugarSync, come to mine, and that is not a complete list.
There are also services that allow you to backup over your home network or across the internet to your own storage. CrashPlan has this option (for free), and Transporter come to mind. CrashPlan talks to another computer also running CrashPlan that you own or have some control (could even be a friend or relatives computer). Transporter is hardware that you either provide some storage of your choice, or they will sell the unit with storage.
I'm mostly a CrashPlan to my own storage user. I backup to a Mac mini for my Mom (300 miles away) and Wife (she is local 🙂)
Can clarify your exact desires or needs.
An online backup of your entire machine is folly because of the time it would take to upload.
An online backup of important files, or folders of files, is a more practical idea.
