This came on with some other program and it's annoying to get rid of. I'm just curious, does it actually back anything up or just sit there and waste resources?

I've been thinking about implementing a backup system where my two home computers (Mac and PC laptop) would backup to my home server (Mac) over the local network. Then the home server would back itself as well as the backup data for the two PCs to a remote location for offsite storage.

At the moment I've started using Crashplan and a friend and I are looking at the possibility of both purchasing some big storage for our servers and hosting each others offsite storage. The initial cost is the same for 1 year of cloud backup with Crashplan but its a one time cost.

What are your thoughts about such a setup?

So I am looking forward to getting the Samsung Galaxy S4, and I wanna back-up my photos. How can I do this using Google+(I would use my computer but aint nobody got time fo dat)? When I sign in my account with the new phone will the pictures come in my gallery? Please help.

To keep the important files on Samsung phone safe, it is very wise to backup the Samsung phone to computer from time to time. Most Samsung users prefer to perform the Samsung backup and restore with the Samsung Smart Switch. However, Smart Switch backup file is unreadable and you cannot check the backups on your computer, which is a little disappointed.

Is there a method that can backup a Samsung phone as readable files? Of course yes! Today I would like to share an excellent tool to backup your Samsung data to PC or Mac as readable files with you -- Jihosoft Phone Transfer.

Jihosoft Phone Transfer is a professional phone transfer program that can not only backup and restore your mobile phone, but also transfer contacts, call logs, text messages, photos, videos, music and more from phone to phone by one click. Let’s see how to backup and restore the Samsung phone.

Part 1: Backup Samsung

• Install and run Jihosft Phone Transfer on your computer.

• In the homepage, select the “Backup Your Phone” option on down right corner.

• Connect your Samsung phone to computer with USB cable, and enable the USB debugging on it. When the device is identified, you will see it displayed as “Source” on the left.

• Select the contents you want to backup in “Source” panel.

• Click “Start Copy” and set a backup location.

• When the process is completed, you can open the backup file to check the result.

Part 2: Restore Data to Samsung

• Go to “Restore Data” option on top right corner of the homepage and you can choose to restore from Phone Transfer or even an iTunes Backup.

• Plug your phone to computer via USB cable, and it will be listed as “Destination”.

So I have quite a few cloud storage accounts at various providers, and accessing them all individually is starting to become quite a big hassle.

I've been looking at cloud storage managers for a bit but I haven't quite found one that suits my needs.

Basically, what I am looking for is:

Support for Skydrive, Google Drive and Dropbox and FTP

A portable desktop application I can put on my USB to take to Uni, work etc and be able to easily access my main cloud storage services with, preferably without having to re-enter login details each time.

No limits on what I can transfer into and out of my cloud storage accounts using the program.

A web based client and iOS app is a plus but I don't need it.

I don't need anything fancy like automated backups or syncing or anything.

I just can't seem to find a program that does this. Do you guys know of any? Sorry if this is in the wrong subreddit.
