Mozy provides a simple way to back up all the important stuff on your computer. They store a copy of your data in a secure, remote location for safekeeping, so that in the event of disaster your data is still retrievable. (Mozy works with both the Mac and Windows platform.)
I was introduced to Mozy though my local computer group. They are a tough group to impress so I felt confident in their collective recommendation. I signed up the next day! Mozy is inexpensive and verrrryyyyy easy to use. You have the option to retrieve all of your backed up files -- in case of a big melt down -- or just one or two files. :::knocking on wood::: I've only used it to retrieve a file or two but I do know individuals who had to do a full restore and they confirmed it was very easy to do.
Note: I still do periodic back ups onto CDs because I like to have the double insurance.
