  1. Recommendations for online backup solutions? by PoochieReds · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've been sort of looking for a place to host online backups for some of my home machines. Anyone have recommendations of a cheap place that does this sort of thing? Preferably a place that can handle rsync...

    Besides which, it was definitely an advertisement. several competitors are slammed here. I think Cleese is a great talent, but Come On. This is CA he's advertising here. One of the ancient evils of the computer world.

    And clue to the editor that posted this: "viral marketing" is intended to not be obvious. You're feeding the marketers. Please stop.
