Buried as SPAM for Amazon S3. What a load of crap. Additionally, if you want "bulletproof" server backups it means onsite backups, multiple offsite backups across several services and/or WAN linked SANs/etc, and regular offsite physical backups, ALL of which are regularly tested for reliability. Everything else is just a finger-cross backup.Cheers.
Ok, given, its geared towards more 'personal' data, but I'm fairly certain this is akin to a press release, its what 'new media' has become. I've seen these services being advertised, extermely cheap even, for YEARS now, this is absolutely nothing new.
You cannot has bucket.I also fail to see why you'd want to back something up to an online server. Unless you're concerned about natural disasters. Yes, I suppose it might be helpful for Iraqis, when faced with having their datacenter blown up on a daily basis.Bulletproof server... ha!
Great solution.Currently I have 3 options:1) Amazon S3 / s3sync - Great API... you can write all sorta of easy custom Applications - No pre-existing Amazon way to browse files... One needs to resort to a great Firefox plugin though (Until Fuse s3fs comes) - Great bandwidth - You pay for everything... scalable cost (but cheap) - You have to fiddle with s3sync and ruby and cron to get it working.2) Mozy (mozy.com) - Great *date versioned* incremental backup/restore solution. - Not very flexible at all. (Can't use it as a generic store) - Still a bit buggy, but shows great potential - Nice web-based restore - Nice "unlimited" storage for $5/m (don't trust this, but it seems to be true)3) rsync/ssh (like s3sync but) - For this you need your own backup host/internet connection, so cost can vary - Ultimate freedom and flexibilty. (but not the reliability of S3)I've been trying out this S3 thing for a bit now, and it looks like a great solution actually... may work out cheaper than my current Mozy subscription. (My rsync is also still chuggin away, but I don't trust my backup host either...)So for now, S3 yay!

Dugg, but I may be biased because I wrote s3sync =P

Don't digg zer0 down; it's a legitimate experience. Was there any response from their tech support for the length of your data delay?
