How many were surveyed? It is useless data unless the population is known.

4,084 completed surveys

Survey was a bit simplistic wasn't it? I have 3 computers, just for myself. 6 back-up drives for daily/weekly and a Mozy and an I-Drive account for the most important folders. Plus 10 thumb drives (as they got bigger I just used bigger.. ). And, last year, where I live 100 people got damaged computers due to a lightning strike. Only me and one other person lost a minimal amount of data…

How about a follow up survey as to what factors led to their choice of backup? Its interesting to me that external hard drive is choice number 1. I used that for years when I had several machines around. Online is only 10% but overwhelming people picked Carbonite as their online choice. Now that I'm down to one primary machine, its my choice too.

I was surprised not to see SOS included since it was rated so highly by PC World and several others. Carbonite was rated #2. What am I missing?

Whao now… Your survey results look skewed. Hey, I love me some Carbonite, but I've never seen a survey where they looked THIS good. Has there been that big a turnaround in the industry within the past week or so? If so, congratulations, Dave!

When "Carbonite" was mentioned, I honestly thought it was a joke answer. I didn't think an actual online backup service was under that name. Are all of these online backup services free? I won't go after the pay ones.

What is missing here and what I really want to know is how much data an average person is backing up.
