[OSX-Users] Re: backing up while on road away from time capsule

[Tim Chown]

I find myself increasingly using DropBox for any non-sensitive stuff.

JISC had an open call a while back for up to £300k for someone to develop a version tailored to UK HE use, and with all data held in the UK.  Don't know whether that was funded or if it's in progress.

ECS DropBox anyone? :)

Probably best solution is just to back up important stuff manually to memory sticks.
