Trying to figure out how to back files and folders up to an “off-site” location (i.e. online storage) had been a real pain as of late…I tried all the different ones like XDrive (now in with AOL), and a couple others that I can’t remember off the top of my head. Then I decided to use the free space I have available on my web hosting (about 100 GB’s @ 1and1.com) and the PC program, BestSync (on download.com) and everything worked like a charm.

Right out of the box (using the trial version) I backed up 2.2 GB of all different kinds of file without a hitch. It took a couple of hours, but I had no errors or timeouts; and I was able to let it run in the background.
