Hi all,

Just read an article in the NYTimes on subject at ;
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/07/technology/07basics.html>

Includes the following;

    There’s an even easier way to take advantage of Google’s largess.
    Users of Internet Explorer can download a program called Gmail
    Drive. (A Google search for the term will point you to download sites.)

    If you are using the Firefox browser, an even better downloadable
    add-on is Gspace. (You can find it at
    addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1593
    http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1593> or www.rjonna.com
    http://www.rjonna.com>.) It puts a button on the toolbar of the
    browser that with a few clicks puts the file right into your Gmail
    account. Rahul Jonna, the Phoenix programmer who created it nine
    months ago, said the Gspace hack has been downloaded almost 500,000
    times.

    Its novelty may be limited. Google is considering a backup service
    called GDrive, and Microsoft says it will have a backup service
    called LiveDrive as part of its new operating system.

    I.B.M.

    sees an opportunity in this consumer market for backup. It sells a
    consumer program named Tivoli that automates backup. Every time a
    file is changed, a copy is stored on the PC’s drive and a copy is
    sent to a backup device or a remote server. (That service is
    separate; you will not get to use I.B.M. servers.) The $35 program
    can be bought online only, in the “software downloads” sections of
    the Web sites of Circuit City, CompUSA, OfficeMax
   
http://www.nytimes.com/redirect/marketwatch/redirect.ctx?MW=http://custom.marketwatch.com/custom/nyt-com/html-companyprofile.asp&symb=OMX>
    and Staples. I.B.M. is also selling the software to cable Internet
    providers, like Comcast
   
http://www.nytimes.com/redirect/marketwatch/redirect.ctx?MW=http://custom.marketwatch.com/custom/nyt-com/html-companyprofile.asp&symb=CMCSA>,
    which will offer its customers automated backup to their servers.

Regards,
Mike
