If you are looking for an alternative to Skydrive, I’d recommend you have a look at zovo. With unlimited storage, the ability to sync data across various machines (like Dropbox), and the ability to backup network drives, it might be a worthwhile alternative to consider.
I should just say, that I have a biased interest in zovo, being its founder and all.

Lots of you may have seen a bit of a viral buzz being created for zovobackup, with your friends tweeting and FB walling about it.
Why should you check it out? Pre-registered users will get an unlimited storage backup account for free when the service goes live.
Why do you need zovo backup?
The files you store on your computer – photos, music, videos, emails and documents – are increasingly precious, but they’re so easy to lose. Hard drive failure, fire, theft or even just accidental user error can wipe out highly important content in seconds.
You could back up your data to CDs, DVDs, external drives or even backup tape, but all of this takes effort, you need to remember to do it, and they’re about as susceptible to failure, loss and damage as the PC itself.
zovo gets rid of this problem completely by providing a simple, secure and robust online backup solution.
Just install it, select which folders you want to backup and forget about it. There’s no need to schedule your backups or leave your PC on overnight – it backs up your files as you work. There’s no limit on how much you back up either, so it’s completely hassle free.
zovo pro takes this one step further by setting your files free and letting you access them wherever you are. See the same files on every computer you use – you can use them just like any other file on your computer, but if you change them, they will automatically change on all of your other PCs. View and even edit your documents online from any web browser anywhere. Even access your files on your go from your mobile.
If you’d like more airmiles when you book a flight with Virgin Atlantic, simply follow the instructions below. This only works if you are not already a “Flying Club” member.
Bonus points when booking a Virgin Atlantic flight using the above method;
For transparency sake, there is something in this for me too, I get the same number of bonus points as you do 
It doesn’t cost you anything, you pay the same for your first flight that you would have, and you get a minimum of 3000 extra airmiles that you wouldnt otherwise have had (if booking an economy seat).
Enjoy!
Today is a good day, i’ve just been to pick up my motorbike from the workshop. She has been fitted with turndown exhausts, and boy oh boy are they loud. The bike is no longer called named The Monster, but is now “Thor’s Hammer“.
A little bit of fabrication work had to be done to get this to fit. Some brackets had to be made up, the RHS foot peg and rear brake lever had to be repositioned slightly, and the control regulator had to be moved.
The end effect is perfect though Still a few more little bits to do, biggest of which are the forward controls, but we are nearly there!
A couple of useful files for those of you that, like myself, own/ride the Yamaha Dragstar.
The workshop manual applies pretty closely for both the 650 and the 1100 – other than some obvious internal engine bits.
Hopefully by this weekend I’ll have the turndown exhausts fitted to mine – expect many pics
