RE: OT: Offline data storage providers

I=92d second Jungledisk.  I now have in the order of 100Gb in the
Cloud =96=
my
business backup, all my photos and personal files.  You can alter the
settings per backup =93drive=94 as to how it holds history =96 so you can
s=
et it
to always retain copies of deleted files, or you can just tell it to keep
the last n versions.  It does seem quite powerful.  You can also mount the
online drive as a network drive so you can retrieve files easily (I use
thi=
s
for a remote worker I have who backs up into the shared space, so I can
always see his latest work.)

My bills are about =A312 a month, which was that quantity seems pretty
good=
.=20=20

The only downside might be is that to back up a NAS you have to have their
client running on a machine that does the backup.  I haven=92t found (or
looked to see!) a way of backing up directly from the NAS. Was that your
question??!

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
S=
3
for storage - it's been absolutely excellent. I currently have about 12Gb
o=
f
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
bloc=
k
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
s=
o
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,
grea=
t
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 ?
