[CoLoCo] Online Backup for Linux

[siblog]

I have been looking around for a good and cheap online backup solution that will work nicely with Linux, but can't seem to find something I like. I do have all my data backed up in a few different places but want to get it backed up online to be extra safe. I have 250+ GB worth of data that I am looking to backup. I really would like to use something like Mozy but they do not support Linux at this point and I can't find anyone who can compete with their services and prices. Does anyone know of another online backup solution that can compete...and works with Linux?

You can always just buy some web hosting space and upload it via ssh.

Agreed - DropBox is awesome (and the price isn't bad either past the free 2GB).

Ringo - Good idea, I will have to look into that

Nick & David - I have checked out DropBox before but their plans only go up to 100 GB, where I am looking to backup/store a lot more data than that

Have you looked at Jungledisk? It works with Win Mac & Linux

You could also check rsync.net.

Along Ringos idea might be your best bet for large amounts of storage.
Use S3 as the storage area and their are tons of apps out on the
market to use it as a Backup storage device. As well as the API to S3
isn't that bad if you wish to make your own.

We use rsync.net and duplicity to backup our corporate network, for
staff workstations we do junglebox, which uses S3 as the storage
engine. It's painless and cheap, and they support Windows, Linux, and
Mac: http://www.jungledisk.com

Depending on exactly what sort of interface you're after... I'm a photographer and have about 400gb of files that I have synced between several desktops and an online server that I rent. I use unison and rsync via the terminal and have cron jobs set up to accomplish automatic backups/syncing between all machines involved. This seems to work relatively well for my needs.

Thanks everyone! Though it is not as cheap as Mozy, I think JungleDisk will work with what I am wanting and will be affordable too

Wow, that's cool. Thanks for the tip. The free 2GB kind of makes flash drives obsolete.
