There are a lot of online data backup options out there these days. Mozy.com offers 2 GB of free data storage. All you have to do is sign up, download the software, and select what to backup. It does automatic backups of the data you select to be backed up.
Another option for specific files like pictures is using a photo sharing website like Flickr, or Google's Picasa.
If you have documents like Microsoft Word and Excel files or PDF files, an option for those type of files is Google Docs. Just upload your files, and you can share them with other contacts as well.
If none of those options suit your needs, email the files to your Gmail email account. There are some limits to Gmail though. You can only upload files 25 MB or smaller, but Gmail has over 7 GB of email storage space, and is growing daily.
If you are interested in learning more about using Gmail as an online backup solution, keep checking back to marccrow.com. I will go into more detail about how to utilize Gmail's 7 GB of free backup space.
