Fee-Based Services: Costs usually based on amount of storage space used.
Here's a small sampling:
Advantages:
- Free proprietary backup software
- Off-site storage in temperature-controlled, humidity-controlled, fireproof, and earthquake proof vaults
- Mirrored sites (backups stored at two or more different sites)
- Multiple copies of backups at same site
- Data encryption for security, and data compression for rapid backups
- Scan backups for computer viruses and, if necessary, disinfect files
- Automatic scheduled backups which, in some cases, extracts and sends only file changes (not entire files) to save time online
- One year’s worth of backups provided on CD-ROM discs for a small cost
- In some cases, you can access backups from any computer
