RE: Cloud backup/archiving?

Sounds good - why the VM?

It does seem quite cost effective - did you go with the desktop edition?

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Paul,

I went with JungleDisk a few months back following Mark's recommendation.

I set up a dedicated VM (Win2K3) to run the JungleDisk software and have it
backing up various UNC network shares off an OpenFiler NAS and several
other storage devices.

It's been faultless so far and quite cost effective.  I have about 40GB of
critical stuff on S3 and it's costing around $6 a month....


Cheers,

Martyn
