Currently pay the £12 a year for the internet backup just wondered do they send you a reminder when it is up. Not sure how long its been since i took it out, seems quite a while. Would hate for it to have expired and something goes wrong.

Email the backup file to yourself

That's what I do.

Or do the back up onto a memory stick. The file size is tiny.

Should say when it expires. When i back up on George it says make sure im connected to the internet and there is a box that tells you when it expires

It might be easier, but doesn't mean that it is the best option.

I would hate my data to be sent back to someone else by mistake.

Also If George fell ill or stopped trading for some reason, how long would it take to get my data back ?

Its my data so i need to take full responsibility for it and not rely on a program that is out of my control.

I also test my backups regularly to see if they are backing up correctly
