Anyone using Windows Live or other on line 'keep all your stuff' site?

So for the third time in my life I have lost all my files, contacts, bookmarks, calendar events..... Everything you keep on a computer. It has never really mattered to me, I don't have that much that is important to me on my computers to date, but I see that changing. I have plans now for returning to school, need to keep stuff straight and also I need to be able to access everything from many computers, the ones at work and at home, and on occasion anywhere I am.

I have started looking into the features on many of the on line sites that will do this kind of stuff for you and since my new computer came with Windows 7 the option of Windows live comes up. Not sure if that's a good one or not, anyone try it? The google option will not work for me, I can't use their calendar for my rotation and their documents file extensions are not compatible.

Any other options you have found to be good?

I use an external hard drive and have a backup program called Cucku (free) that does a weekly backup to the hard drive. That way all my stuff is on both my internal drive and the external so if one fails, I haven't completely lost my stuff. I don't have any experience with online storage though.
