Online back-up services

PC World has the lowdown on 17 free or low cost online back-up services:

The article has some excellent advice right off the top:

A word of caution to anyone using online storage: Servers crash, and companies go out of business, both without warning. Never trust an online storage service with the only copy of your vital data. Also, while all of these services take measures to lock down your data, the privacy and security of your files is ultimately up to you. Be sure to encrypt all files holding personal data, and plan for the day your online files disappear.

Definitely words to read and heed. And, it doesn't just apply to online storage. But, also any online service, including calenders, to do lists, word processing, photo sharing, and even e-mail. The list goes on.
