Life is easier now so don’t complicate it by being lazy. One option is free online backup> use it.
A remote, online, or managed backup service is a service that provides users with an online system for backing up and storing computer files. Managed backup providers are companies that provide this type of service. Online backup systems are typically built around a client software program that runs on a schedule, typically once a day. This program collects, compresses, encrypts, and transfers the data to the remote backup service provider’s servers. Other types of product are also available in the market, such as remote continuous data protection (CDP).
Providers of this type of service frequently target specific market segments. High-end LAN-based backup systems may offer services such as near-realtime transaction-level replication or open file backups. Consumer online backup companies frequently have beta software offerings and/or free-trial backup services
Here are some options in no particular order.
mozy- is an online backup tool that allows both Windows and Mac users to back up their data to an off-site server. While originally released as a product for end-users, Mozy later released a remote backup utility for businesses, MozyPro, which made a splash by landing a large deal with General Electric.
With the free version of Mozy, a user can backup as much as 2 gigabytes of data from multiple computers (referring others to Mozy gives free users an additional 0.25 gigabytes). The paid version ($4.95 per month) allows unlimited backups from one computer. Mozy has the ability to backup full packages such as all bookmarks, or all Word documents, or all e-mails at once rather than forcing the user to select particular files or folders

Not sure if this is the best, but have been seeking a way to keep back-ups of files which I am frequently working on. Now a days I also work on multiple computers, so I carry a USB Flash stick as many others do as well… There are a lot of free-ware utilities available which can sync your computer & Flash Drive. They mostly find the most updated files, then updates the directories with the latest files… I am trying this one found here http://www.allwaysync.com/ Mostly because it is a “free” version.
There are many of other exciting conversations about USB Flash drive utilities, including spyware protection, password storage, Automatic back-ups, lite programs, etc… Would love to know if anyone has any other recommended utilities?
