I chose Spideroak (REFERRER: https://spideroak.com/download/referral/d199cf7e0dea0ab89b265d35a7108a21) (NON-REFERRER: https://spideroak.com/). I've got 200 gigs for $16/month. Not as cheap as others but their security practices are the best I've seen and I like that.

Martin Larsen <mar...@larsen.dk> Feb 03 11:20AM +0100 Hi, Now a few months have passed and I wonder about your conclusions finding an alternative online backup service. What are you using, if any? I am still on DSU but looking more intensively for an alternative. Regards, Martin

I'm using Amazon S3 for daily backups, Amazon Glacier for vault-like, long term stuff (MP3s, photos, etc) & a mixture of Mondoarchive & Clonezilla for bare metal recovery. I use Deja-Dup & duplicity as clients for the Amazon S3 stuff. No complaints so far after six months. Amazon's prices have dropped substantially recently too. Cheers, Phil... -- currently (ab)using CentOS 5.8 & 6.3, Debian Squeeze & Wheezy, Fedora Beefy & Spherical, Lubuntu 12.10, OS X Snow Leopard & Ubuntu Precise & Quantal



Michael Berman <michael....@gmail.com> Feb 03 11:59AM -0500 I'm looking at 3 different options right now: 1. Cheap server. I found a couple of places that sell relatively cheap storage servers. Looking at http://www.ovh.ie/dedicated_servers/kimsufi.xmlright now. Most are unmirrored dedicated hardware. A few have VPS on RAID, but are really too much money. Honestly, the cheap dedicated box is pushing my budget for backups. 2. I have a couple of friends that I might swap space with. This is really the direction I'm hoping to go, but more logistics to work out, etc. Also, the primary friend that I could do this swap with is only about 10 miles away. I was hoping for further. 3. Sneaker net. I have a free safety deposit box through my bank. Thinking about picking up a few hard drives and a couple of docking stations to cycle through drives. It has the disadvantage of being a much bigger pain (as I rarely go to the bank). I was looking at hosting a box at home, but I just don't think it is going to work out. Have been too busy with the kids, real job, etc. Michael
