Mozy: just under 2G in less than 2 hours. So for the barest of essentials, this is a fast tool. It kicked on when I stepped away for dinner, and was done by the time I got back. Kudos for keeping out of my way.
Carbonite: just under 2G in the last 12 hours, and with 30G more to go, this could be a long, long, long wait. But let’s face it, once it’s all up there…right?
Online Backup Options Part II

I tried this too. I have 18GB total. It took about 10 days to back it up, which I figured is about the speed of my DSL. On the other hand, my stuff had not been backed up for at least 6 months, so what’s an extra few days? It’s not like I had to sit there watching it run all the time. I don’t know what choice I have — my external hard drive is very fast, but if the house burns down, bye-bye pictures and everything else. I guess I’m lazy — just start the damn thing and come back next week and it will be done. Then no more worries.
