Hi,
I have recently been thinking about what to do about my backups for my
home computers. I have a laptop, desktop and a server. The server has
mirrored disks and is in a separate part of the property. I currently
copy data between the three machines in an ad-hock fashion. Not very
clever really. I would like a more robust solution and have been
thinking of off-site storage.
At the moment, I have a free Dropbox account that works great. Ubuntu
one has not been so great. Initially, I thought that I could simply
buy some extra storage but the cost is not so cheap. Somewhere it was
written that both Dropbox and Ubuntu One use Amazon S3 for storage.
This lead me to thinking that I could use this service directly.
Has anybody else tried this? what has been the results? Are there any
simple and competitive alternatives?
