What tzurus.  I use crash plan.  They each have their share of grief.  I
leave my computer on 24x7 except 2 day yomtov.  I turn off the monitor and
make sure the keyboard and mouse are secure before Shabbat.  Why is it any
different than leaving on the A/C?  Back in the day, people would set the
vcr to record a show over shabbat.  That was a bit more dubious but was
done.

Good Shabbos
