Wow, so many different ways to backup ebooks!!

Currently, I have SugarSync and it is set up to automatically backup/update the specific folders I have told it to: Ebooks, machine embroidery, quilt and counted cross stitch patterns that I have downloaded, my resumes and pictures of my dogs from the time they were puppies (my four legged kids).

I just started using DropBox free account for the ebooks that I want to transfer onto my phone for reading. I had tried Sugar Sync for this and it worked the first time I tried it but not the next and I can't figure out why. With DropBox being free, I decided to try it and it works very well and is fast.

I used to use external HD's but, after TWO of them failed with no warning and I lost everything on them, I no longer use them.

I have backups on Thumb drives and I'm thinking of burning my ebooks onto a cd/dvd.

Does anyone want to help me get more DropBox space? Use http://db.tt/L135c2pO to sign up for your new account and we both will get an additional 500 megs of space! Thank you!
