I do. I love online backup and have been using it for almost a couple years, and finally settled on MyOtherDrive. You can choose the time for it to auto-back-up (like 2am). You can have certain files 128-bit encrypted, if needed (I haven't used this/needed this). I think I've tried about 5 or so online back-ups and this is the one I really like the best. There are many others out there too, though.

I'm sure there's some place you can look at to see what you've got stored. I just don't know where it is. I was pretty proud of myself when I learned how to defrag and do a cleanup!!  |
Do you know how to use your "file explorer"? If yes, that's usually what I use. Since I keep most everything in My Docs (not on the desktop), I can right click on the My Docs folder and get lots of info about size etcetera.
Or, let's say you only want to back-up certain files within My Docs (like some pics?), that's fine too, so you could choose a file and right click on it to see its properties/size.
