Quick review

The good: Can be disabled from startup, flexible, online space
The bad: Scanning for file types not completely reliable, additional online space expensive, ongoing subscription costs
Verdict: We really like the software offering from BullGuard Backup, it is easy to get the software to do what you want in an unobtrusive manner. However, the downside is the ongoing cost

On the subject of file backup, sharing and storage ...

Online backup is becoming common these days. It is estimated that 70-75% of all PC's will be connected to online backup services with in the next decade.

Thousands of online backup companies exist, from one guy operating in his apartment to fortune 500 companies.

Choosing the best online backup company will be very confusing and difficult. One website I find very helpful in making a decision to pick an online backup company is:

This site lists more than 400 online backup companies in its directory and ranks the top 25 on a monthly basis. Posted by Jenny, USA
Does anyone know how you backup the configuration settings of Bullguard? In other words, when you've set up all the folders you want to back up and the frequency, etc, how do you save those settings in case you need to move bullguard to a new machine? thanks. Posted by Peter, UK
