using cloud storage vs local backup - for small size backups.
hi,
i need to do a backup of 2 files (100MB total) each day, and perhaps keep a backup of 2 weeks and then delete them.
i can get this which is $5 a month...

or would you recommend this solution....
to get a 4GB stick and put it in the USB drive. and then use the tool in XP pro

to copy the 2 backup files to the USB stick every night.? that may be cheaper.. but do you see any issues in this approach? any concerns for failure?

also have you found the below always reliable:
OneDrive (Formerly SkyDrive)
Google Drive
ADrive
SpiderOak
Dropbox..
if these folks give it away free, how do they benefit? are they are enticements to get bigger drives from them @ premium?
