I use Carbonite. It backs up every file and all pictures on my computer as soon as I save one on the computer. I can access the files/pics on any computer, anywhere. There are sites that will store files for you free. Google Documents will save text, doc and pdf files free and Picasa will store photos online free. Easy access to them from any computer if online. Box Net is another good storage site. And it's so easy to share files using the online storage sites. You pay for internet use so let it work for you and save you all that time downloading them to a disc or flash drive.
