I am using Dropbox in combination with SVN Tortoise for my software projects. Repository is created in Dropbox folder so as soon as Commit happens, files are immediately copiedto Dropbox. I just started couple of days ago so I just hope everything is going to work well.

I am also happy, 5 GB is a LOT for a software project!

Thanks for the comment, Mark. Since I’m mostly on a Mac these days, I rely on Apple’s built-in Time Machine for local back-ups, so really only need the remote back-up (and version control is icing on the cake). Glad you found something that works for you.

Dropbox sounds great but it lacks some important features for me, since I mostly backup external HDD, network drives and USB drives from both my Pc and Mac. Most providers don’t have these features but this wasn’t a problem for SafeCopy (www.safecopybackup.com). It allows me to do the above features plus I can share the same account for both my Mac and Pc. So i guess i’ll stick with Safecopy. Thanks
