never used an online backup service, but in travelling it might be a
really good idea. It would automatically provide an off-site backup,
which would be extra important if you're on the road.

For about a buck a week, Carbonite does just that. If we lose a
computer from theft, electronically, or whatever, it is backed up on
Carbonite and accessed anywhere in the world. Pretty neat, actually.
And no fuss, nothing to mess with, nothing to lose; it's just up
there, somewhere in the sky, ready to be accessed. d;o)
