Code42's CrashPlan = peer to peer back-up

Description

"you backup your computer across the net to your office, friend. or mother-in-law's computer. Since CrashPlan sends data to a computer you control, or at least someone you trust, there's no worries about how someone at the online backup service will steal Serving by Irving's valuable customer list. Even if your brother in law was interested in your data it's encrypted before it leaves your computer.

Even better you just have to buy the software for a measly $20 for each machine you want to protect with no pesky monthly charges.

Code 42 runs CrashPlan Central to provide or the occasional user that has no friends or family members to mooch backup space from a place to put their stuff online. While CrashPlan Central costs just 10 cents a GB a month (with a $5.00/mo minimum) their FAQ still includes "Why you shouldn't backup to CrashPlan Central" (http://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2008/06/crashplan_takes.html CrashPlan Takes Backup Peer-To-Peer)
