If it's truly personal, it's not going on any KloudKrap service. It's staying on a NAS device at home, and getting backed up to an encrypted thumb drive that gets stored somewhere else.
This can (somewhat) be fixed by using key-based encryption to encrypt data BEFORE it's sent over the WWW, so it's stored in encrypted fashion at the endpoint. Many cloud service providers only encrypt in transit. |

Here's an idea, don't put anything on the cloud that you want secured. I only put thing I want to share in my drop box or homework

When I die, I hope that my best friend hurries and deletes all my browser history...

On a serious note, don't trust a cloud storage. I back everything up on a USB hard drive. With the low prices of these devices, cloud storage should be a thing of the past by now.

Nah, you'd need a network hard drive to replace it

I'm concerned about a home disaster, such as a fire or flood. Hope anyone affected by Sandy recovers.
Not sure how to protect the computer. I'm not going to download the hard drive every day and put it in the safe deposit box, the bank isn't open on the weekends anyway.

I have a back up hard drive plugged in all the time, that would be just fine if I house it off site when I'm at work, or the like, but that is simply not going to happen.
The encryption senario is the practical one.

Question
What encryption software do you suggest for members??
What services would you consider reliable for members?? I can't use any remote service for full work data backup, to many terabytes for reasonable up/down load time.. . |

Easy solution to home backups for large quantities of data is a NAS running Raid-1, then its mostly protected (barring physical destruction or massive internal failure of the unit killing both drives) or, cloud based storage with encryption and a LONG PASSPHRASE.
Most common reason ANYthing gets hacked? PITIFUL PASSWORDS. Its unbelievable what people use for passwords just out of laziness...those individuals deserve to be hacked. I've seen entire company finance files protected by a single digit number. No excuse!
