Hi, Steve,

I assume you mean 3 TB of data.

Crash Plan gets good reviews. I may give it another look.

I don't trust any cloud system, but a cloud system is great for many 
uses. For long-term trust, I have two (relatively new now) RAID-6 NAS 
units one backing up the other in two different parts of my house.

I have off-site drives and I have some stuff in the cloud.

One Drive was a disappointment.

The big deal is all my sons' data is on both their computers, Dropbox, 
and my two NAS units (we are decommissioning their local NAS units in 
their dorm rooms).

I have the JPGs of the family pictures on my Dropbox which I share with 
them (the 1 TB plan). The whole lot of storage right now is approaching 
9 TB.

Cheers,

Richard
