    Hi all. As the titles suggests, I'd like to know what services are reliable and recommend by musicians.

    Thanks in advance.

    I assume by "services" you mean "cloud backup" type services... You can research it yourself. There is a shit-ton of them with more and more popping up out of the woodwork every other day it seems.

    HOWEVER.

    Personally, I would recommend getting yourself a nice disk imager (acronis TI, minitool backup, etc) and a large hard portable drive and backup your system(s) yourself and store your own data. You can store a copy offsite as well - maybe in a safe deposit box if you're that paranoid. Then and only then can you truly trust your data is kept safe and out of the reach of prying eyes.

    I've known several people who have been utterly screwed by cloud services losing their stuff (especially Carbonite, what a joke). Drives are cheap, buy 2 and dupe everything, keep one onsite and one off just like saccamano sez...

    And way faster than uploading. When backing up takes a long time, you may tend to skip doing it.

    YES! I thought I had that in the text, but I didn't. Thank you for answering my question.
