Sites Where I can Back Up Files?
Hello! My computer is having some MAJOR issues, but I'm afraid to do anything until I back up all of my files. I'm pretty unfamiliar with backing up my files, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a site that I could send all of my pictures and videos to? I have alot!

Also, I was given an AcomData for backing up files a few years ago, but I lost the cord. By any chance, does anyone know what type of cord would be used and how many files an AcomData can save?

Thanks for any help!

what size would the total backup be - remember the speed to the internet will be at your upload speed - NOT the download speed

last time I looked into this for a client with about 10GB - it was going to take 3-4 days to back up all the data
some sites also throttle back the speed to reduce bandwidth consumption after a certain amount of data has transferred - its in the small print of the terms of service
free sites also limit the amount you can transfer , and some even take ownership of any copyright once transfered to the site
so read up very carefully

I would recommend you buy a USB harddrive and use that
