Hello,how are you doing? I want to backup my some data:(photos, movies, documents,etc) I want to get Time Capsule but I hear lot bad reviews and it very pricey. Which is the best alternative for backup data: Online or USB Flash Drive or others alternative?
Also What kind USB Flash Drive Brand is the best on an Apple product?
Thank You and Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, or Happy Holiday to you and everyone!

I wouldn't try to use an online backup for a complete backup -- there would be too much data to transfer in the OS folders alone. Time Capsule is a good option for most people. Not sure about those reviews. Most people just get it and it works.
I wouldn't use a USB Flash Drive -- they are too small. Ideally you want something that is twice the size of your internal HD. Drives are cheap. I wouldn't buy anything less than a 2TB external drive today to use with Time Machine.
And I wouldn't do a selective backup. I would do the whole thing, using Time Machine.
As for brand -- it is hard to tell what is best. Look at reviews of any individual product first for any obvious problems or warnings.
