Best Free Server-side based Syncing / Backup?

Gilbert0Gilbert0 North of SeattleRegistered User regular
What do you use as a backup for your PC “My Documents”? I have about 6 GB of pictures and video (and growing much faster now that I have a son) and I want to have a backup should my desktop die. I’m thinking like Dropbox, SugarSync, GoogleDrive, Copy, etc. Note, this is not my MP3’s or movie collection or any of that kind of files. I had been using SugarSync, but it’s dropping it’s free space in February to pay only. As an existing user, I can get a year of 60GB for $19, but with so many other options, I can do it for free right?

I’ve looked at both Copy.com and GoogleDrive but they both require that I keep my data in a specific folder to keep it sync’d. I just want to pick and choose my folders (and across drives).

What do you use?

    I use Crashplan. Their client lets you back up to any given other computer on the network, and can even back up to other computers over the internet, so you can have offsite backups. They also have their own online backup hosting as a paid service, I don't think there's any size restrictions.
