They are online backup companies.

I use Dropbox - www.dropbox.com - it's free for up to 2 GB and you get 500M additional for each person you invite...

Others are:

Mozy
SugarSync
OpenDrive
MyPC Backup
ZipCloud
iBackup
iDrive
PennyBackup
Elephant Drive

They perform better than Carbonite according to CNet.

You might want to let them know you're exploring other options besides their online garbage until Dave Friend cancels that face to face meeting with Bloat Limburger and terminate all advertising with him.

Just helping out.. Keep the pressure up.

EIB is Excrement in Broadcasing.

1. Excellent and TY so much!

2. Dropbox is awesome. n/t

3. Carbonite's toll free number:

877-665-4466 click 9 on the options menu and listen...will automatically re-direct to a general
message place. I have Carbonite and not particuarly happy with them anyway so I left the message
that their name is being targeted and substitutions are readily available. I told them I believe in
free speech but that Limbaugh has crossed the line with his obscene suggestions & thatI wouldn't
think they would want to be associated with that...blah,blah,blah. Anyway, it was super easy!

5. I just called

and left message. I read on DailyKos that the Pres. of Carbonite is requesting a meeting with Limbaugh. That of course could be eyewash.

6. Maybe what we did helped? Yeah, us! nt

4. I like Mozy and it's highly rated. n/t

7. Dropbox works great for me, on Ubuntu OS

More storage would be nice, but its big enough to keep all the text I don't want to have to worry about losing.

8. Another is CrashPlan

Crashplan.com

9. Been using Mozy Pro for years (nt)

10. My ISP (BrightHouse) offers this service for free.

I'm not familiar with the specifics because I've never tried it, I've always been a bit cautious about who has
access to my personal info. But I've seen it mentioned in their advertising. Quite likely other ISP's offer the
same feature as a freebie.

11. Link to the face to face claim?

This is the latest response from Carbonite that I know of...

A Statement from David Friend, CEO of Carbonite:
“No one with daughters the age of Sandra Fluke, and I have two, could possibly abide the insult and abuse heaped upon this courageous and well-intentioned young lady. Mr. Limbaugh, with his highly personal attacks on Miss Fluke, overstepped any reasonable bounds of decency. Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology, we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show. We hope that our action, along with the other advertisers who have already withdrawn their ads, will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse.”
