I'm checking those out now. I understand about Mozy. What inspired me to use offsite backups was the recent fires in the area that took out many homes. I had previously just backed up to another drive since I only considered hard drive failure. However, offsite backups is the only way to protect yourself from natural disasters. If nothing else, I'd suggest people back up their data periodically to another drive and leave it at a friend or families house. Brian Hey martin,

Thanks for XMarks, I will check it out (Mozy is not that interesting for me because it is not free)... What may be interesting for you is Ketarin (to keep all applications up to date) and FlexProfiles (from Immidio) that allows you to transfer settings between applications. Martin Hi Brian,
