This in no way fits your requirements, so this is more for the rest of the list, but the minute before I read your email, I was thinking how happy I am with my recently implemented home backup solution, which is duplicity to S3. Great for backups of a few gig on a few boxes. I've simulated site destruction, i.e., installed a new machine at another location and restored, and it just works.

Ah, speak of the Devil, and he doth appear: as I was writing that paragraph, I got my AWS statement:

This e-mail confirms that your latest billing statement is available on the AWS web site. Your account will be charged the following:

Total: $0.07

That seems like a reasonable price.  ;)

That's for only a hundred MB or so, I haven't pushed everything up there yet; I expect $15/mo. or so when I do.

What other cloud services are people using? 

 

I'm asking in general, for general knowledge.  But I'm also asking for a 
specific reason
right now.  Up till now, I've been doing my home backups by periodically 
rotating a disk
offsite.  I'd like to start doing backups over the WAN instead.  I am aware of 
services
such as mozy & crashplan, but that's not what I want to use.  I specifically 
want to be
able to "zfs receive" on the remote end, which means I want to build my own 
personal
virtual solaris/opensolaris server.

 

Amazon is an option.  But I don't want to naively assume it's the best option.

 

Thanks...
