Pricing looks OK. The challenge is credibility. Not that Angel Backup has a problem, but I have never heard of it. You need to feel secure that the company backing you up has the funds behind to be there tomorrow and in 3 years time. Carbonite with over 500k customers, has that. Secondly, looked at the support available. Looks like email only. Carbonite offers, telephone (AU phone number), email plus 24/7 chat support. Good luck with the program.

It's creating conflicts leading to crashes, its UI has stopped working, tech support takes days to respond... My conclusion is you get what you pay for, and this is clearly one of the cheapest options going. At least don't make my mistake and pay for 3 years to get a discount. Do take some time to read the forums out there before committing to any period.</p> I’m in a world of pain with Carbonite.
