Computer on line back up
Could find anything using the search button on this site. I waded thru all the "fluff" with a google search for on line back sites. Of course they all say they are the best. Question for folks ...

OP here... Thanks for all the help. Ok I'm going to go with external drive after reading the postings. Let me know if I'm right or wrong with the following question because in the past I had a tape back up and when old computer failed could not put data into new computer for some reason.
Question... With an external hard drive I can just unplug the external hard drive and take to other computer and put on my data on that different computer.
Is that right or wrong (assuming that I also put software into alternate computer prior to first computer failing).
Thanks for all the help.
