    Hi,

    Good posting.

    I have been reading about the online backup industry for a while now.

    Online backup is maturing and slowly getting the attention of the general consumer.

    One website worth mentioning is the backup review site:

    http://www.BackupReview.info

    This very informative site, not only posts up to date news and articles from the industry, but also lists about 400 online backup companies and ranks the top 25 on a monthly basis.

    The site now covers storage in general, not just online backup.

    Could you please feature this site and post a review so that your readers will be aware of its services.

    I enjoy reading your posts. Keep it up!

    thanks for the site, it’s neat. I wish they had separate sections for listing only Free OR Paid ones.
