Many thanks to these respondents. I am encouraged to proceed with further exploration of the use of Amazon S3 for off-site encrypted back-up secondary storage - I'll report back to this list after the forthcoming weekend. I heard an interview with the principal of an Australian-based start-up company which hopes to compete with or even undercut the Amazon S3 Internet storage offering - see http://www.omnidrive.com/ Between Amazon S3, the forthcoming Google Gdrive and Omnidrive (and there are several other players about to enter the market), there will be plenty of competition (=low prices) and the ability to store encrypted back-ups with more than one storage provider for additional redundancy. Of course, all this is predicated on decent Internet connectivity - in particular, on decent upload speed and on no or modest volume charges for uploads through your ISP - and that is not available to everyone. But for those who can get it... Tim C _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
