    Driveway.com Shut Down Affects BackupBuddyPosted By: Ed on Friday, February 23, 2001 9:14:43 AM
According to a statement, "As of March 5th, 2001, Driveway will discontinue all Driveway.com file sharing and storage services." Obviously, this means that BackupBuddy users won't be able to make mirror back-ups or restore their files via FTP, which was built into the application. Blue Nomad is already revising BackupBuddy. Driveway.com also said, "Driveway is no longer accepting new user registrations, file uploads or purchases of additional space. After March 5th, 2001, you will no longer be able to access any files stored at Driveway.com. " They recommend that users switch to FreeDrive. I'm trying to get in touch with my contact at Blue Nomad to find out if they are planning on finding a new hosting company or dropping this feature. I'll let you know as soon as I find out. -Ed

FreeDrive has software that you install on your system that can sync files from your system to FreeDrive. So, you can setup this software to backup the Palm backup directory on a set schedule. That's what I've decided to do instead of going through backupbuddy. If Blue Nomad comes up with a new provider, I'll of course consider it.
