The word has been handed down, No More Computers Until There Is More
Space :(

I note the smiley, but to explain why I don't do this: the storage
in bitfolk's servers is of better quality and costs more than the
storage at my home where the primary copy (and historical backups)
of all this data lives. So by using my own company's services I
would in fact be spending more on the backups than I do on the data,
which in this case is a bit backwards (for some people it wouldn't
be).
I think it would be cheaper than this for me to pay someone to host
an old PC with a decent amount of disks in it on the end of their
broadband, but there is some hassle in working out how much it will
cost them in power and working it so it doesn't stomp on their own
Internet usage. If they only have 1 IP then there would also have
to be some NAT shenanigans.
It may be cheaper to use Amazon S3 than the above.
Every street should have a data silo. :)
Cheers,
Andy
