It's not often that I get excited about software these days but after the loss of a laptop drive over the holiday season, I was forced to reexamine my backup strategy which, up to that point, had been simply plugging in an external USB drive from time to time and using Apple's Time Machine to grab a snapshot of the contents of my drive.
Needless to say, I was caught out by a busy schedule and ended up losing about a week's worth of photos because I had forgotten to plug the drive in after a previous shooting session. As a result, I started to look for something to complement Time Machine and spent some time looking at the consumer offering from the folks at Crashplan.com.
