 I finally decided to try the online service. My question is this - when I go
into the program, I see ALL my C drive data in there - is this possible? Is
this the way this backup system works? Am rather concerned.
Thanks!

Why ANYBODY would upload ANY of their personal info ANYWHERE on the
internet is beyond me, much less your PERSONAL FINANCE info.

I don't have enough information here, but I believe Teri needs to select
from her window the folders or files she wants updated. Depending on what
she subscribed she might have enough space to backup her whole c drive.
Unlikely, but possible.

Teri at a minimum, select the high level folder where you Q data files
reside. I have no problem with this service - nor am I concerned about
hexHead's comment.

If you have a friend that is somewhat professional in computers, look to
that person for some advise (invite them over for ... as a bribe).

I dropped this service last September. At that time, even though I selected
exactly what folders to back up, it still insisted on scanning my entire
computer every time it made a backup. I never investigated this issue but I
think it may be cause for concern.

Simply seeing a display of your entire C drive isn't as big an issue. As
Oilcan stated they just want you to be able to mark what folders and files
to back up and to make it easy for you to navigate to them if you need to
restore them.

Online Backup wasn't working for Vista at the time I dropped it, probably
because it was too "snoopy" for Vista's taste.

Re hexHead's comment, I'd make sure that your Quicken DB is
password-protected before you start using this service. You might also want
to delete or password-protect all Quicken backups on your computer unless
you can be certain that they won't also be backed up online.

Have you checked out Carbonite or Mozy to see if they work with Vista?
