Like VSTSlut mentioned, Amazon might be a service that has more proven infrastructure in place, but conversely will also be an attractive target for hackers that want to make a name for themselves. That's not even getting into "acts of god", lol. Would be interested also if anyone had any experience of Amazon S3.Īs long as you're not using it as your sole backup, and as one of at least several redundant backups, Backblaze is a good choice if you more or less just want to dump all of your data from a drive onto a remote server.īut I do agree that these are just server farms, and none of these companies can be guaranteed to be around forever. When I look into it I can't seem to get the same prices. That's another argument for another day.Įveryone talks about 'oh you can get this for that', but never gives any details. Of course anything you put on there is fair game for snoopers, but it will be mainly audio files. They provide massive backbone infrastructure to the internet already, so it makes sense.
I'd rather trust to Amazon than another company I haven't heard of. I'm not even looking for bandwidth, just a duplicate or triplicate storage solution. I'd never trust 'just' to a cloud solution, but as an extra backup I think it makes sense if you can get a decent price. And if you require bandwidth that will cost more as well.īut for normal storage options I still couldn't see a price point lower than a fiver a month for the same thing they were talking about and not as much space. Obviously if you 'archive' them and put them in the 'deep' storage (unlikely to be needed to be retrieved, but if so will take a lot longer than usual) things are cheaper.
I had a look at their pricing structure and not sure how that was worked out. Someone was saying you could back up a few hundred Gigabytes for a few dollars per month from Amazon.
