Entrepreneurs are not born, they evolve

Adam, I'm trying out Mozy and liking it so far. It is purely for file backup, runs in the background and has worked like a charm. I want to check out other services, though - especially Box.net - I've heard it's excellent.

Hi Adam, online backup is inherently a touch business and very hard on technology. However, many new companies have not realized these. I've seen many small companies offering free storage while losing more and more money. This happened before with XDrive, and now is happening with lots of other companies, like Box.net, streamload.com, Mozy, etc. The fact is these companies have not developed any new technologies, they are just throwing more free storage. This just doesn't work. Having worked in this industry before, I don't think this is a sustainable model. Those companies cannot make money, so there is no technology innovation.

There seems to be an exception. A few weeks ago I tried http://www.DriveHQ.com/ service, which was offered to Roxio Easy Media Creator users at a big discount. The service is very impressive. I particularly like the client software, DriveHQ FileManager and WWWBackup, very professional look and feel, very easy to use. Try it
