RE: OT: Offline data storage providers

[Paul Gale <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gareth,

May be worth looking at the archives on this post - there was a discussion
a month or so ago - as a result, I signed up with JungleDisk who use Amazon
S3 for storage - it's been absolutely excellent. I currently have about
12Gb of critical docs etc backed up there via the JungleDisk backup app
which does a great job of data deduplication and only backs up changed
files at the block level (so if you modify a big file, only the changed
parts get re-uploaded and not the whole file). Was the only good service I
could find that would backup shared folders etc too (must others would only
backup local drives so they could charge for on a per machine basis - this
is per account, so you can have multiple machines backing up to one
service)

Pretty cost effective too - I've had a couple of bills so far at only $5-6
a time IIRC.

Well recommended :)

Paul.

What's the story - does anyone use offline storage ? I looked at Mozy,
great price, but refuses to allow you to backup your NAS, which is where
all my data is, not local. You can buy the premium server license version
but then it becomes very expensive.

Recommends ?
