Are you looking for online only solutions?

If not, W7 comes with its own backup program that works pretty good.

The OP did specify that he was looking for an on-line backup solution. Sorry, Mike753, but I have no experience with that.

I'm really not trying to high jack this thread, but the included Windows 7 backup is what I have been using as well. The price is certainly right. I do wonder how well the restore feature works, though - after all, that is the reason we back up in the first place. Anyone here have any experience with that? I do wish the Windows 7 backup had an incremental back up setting, too.

Hello

Yes I tested out the image restore awhile back. I'm running Windows 7 professional and did an image backup to my NAS box over wire. I shut it down swapped out the hard drive and booted with the repair disc that you make in the backup section. It found the image on the nas box, restored it, and I booted back into Windows. It did want to restart once again after it booted up but all was fine, like nothing happened....

I completely forgot about making the system repair disc! I'm off to do that now.

Anyway, it is very good to know that the Windows 7 image restore feature actually works. Thank you for that info.
