  AOL’s XDrive has not worked for me at all (caused quite a headache actually), Carbonite’s demo has worked great; UPDATE: Carbonite’s advertising is misleading. While one account might support multiple computers, one payment DOES NOT. Each computer (even if it’s simply a laptop with pretty much the same information that you have on your desktop) will require an additional subscription.
