I want to backup my pictures and videos, and was wondering what is the best online solution for this.

 

I wont be backing up every day to the drive, its a one big backup and than updating it with content every month or so.

 

I need about 150-200GB of storage Max.

 

Preferebly access from Android and Web to the files.

 

Able to download the entire folder backed up in case my hard drive will be eaten by zombies.

 

Current Max file size is 4GB.

 

Good money value.

 

Good download speed.

 

I know here in the forums people prefer the nas solution but it is still an HDD that can die or burn or be abducted by alliens...

 

Thank you for your help.

CrashPlan gives you unlimited storage for $4-6 per month (one computer) depending on your subscription, and $9-14 for a family (up to 10 computers). I did the free trial and it was good, but I'm waiting until I have a great need for it before I buy a plan.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use, and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them. - Galileo Galilei

I heavily recommend crashplan, i have been using them for business and personal use for a couple years now. They're cheap, fast, always there, and encrypt your data in transit and on their servers.

 

Also, they do not limit the space you have, even on some of the cheaper plans.

 

Edit: i have terabytes on their servers and they don't care lol.

Thank you very much for all your help.

 

Started a 30 day trial of the service.

 

Uploaded now 300GB to the server over night, but thats because my upload speed SUCK...

 

Probably going to continue with them, the software is a bit tricky at first and had a few trial and error to upload what I want but eventually did awesome job.

 

Too bad there is no online access to files or at least I couldn't find one on the web page or in the software.

 

The restore options is also very good.

 

Thank you for your recomendation.

Maybe lol. If some individual user had hundreds of TB on their servers, or a business had many petabytes, I think they might say something.

 

Certainly awesome for individual use :)
