Backup - Internet/Email based

[EGKK931]

Hi all,

I need to do a system restore on my main home desktop and I know this will wipe all my files so I need to back these up I was hoping that I could do this to an internet back up site or save all my files to emails as attachments or something like this?

I am going away in 2 days time so don't have time to buy discs to store to and need to do this quickly so any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers

You could try Xdrive and take advantage of their one month free trial.

From September AOL, who bought Xdrive last year, are proposing to provide 5Gbs of free online storage to anyone who wants it (just in time, as your trial period ends!). ...You don't have to be signed up with AOL (a relief to some); news story HERE

Thank you for the link and info.

Sadly the free trial isn't exactly free as it asks you to sign up and enter credit card details I'm not prepared to pay specially now if it will be free in a month

Are there any other sites that could offer online storage for free/free trial right now?

I think you will find this a fairly common procedure on free trials; certainly is with similar offers on magazines.

Thank you for your help.

Don't trust these companies, so won't sign up with card details.
