Short term data backup site?

[Galaril]

Can anyone recommend a site for short term backup? I am going to be reformatting the ole hard drive and want an easy site I can just save to and retrieve my files after. I got about about 5-6 GB of photos, games files etc to save. Any recommendations?

Got any spare cash on hand? The portable HD's are dirt cheap right now...better than uploading 5-6 GB over the web.

I have 2, one for backups only and the other is my portable media drive.

Is burning a couple DVDs an option?

Yeah actually that is the best idea.

dola,
A 8GB flash drive can also be had for under $20

Yeah if you've only got 6 GB of data, a flash drive would be your cheapest and easiest solution. Whatever you use, just make sure you store the backup in another location. If, God forbid, your house burns down, the backup won't do you any good if it gets destoyed along with everything else.

Thanks. I went with just burning to a DVD since it was not super important data and not my entire image. I was just some stuff I wanted to restore after I reformatted. Thanks to all.
