So what other "cloud" backup/sync/sharing services are folks using? I have ~30GB of data I like to have backed up; many services seem to want > USD$100 per annum to provide a sync service for that much data.

Cheers,

Can you not use S3fs to mount Amazon buckets? The only shortcoming is it doesn't support hard links, so some of the clever space saving rsync solutions won't work.

None of the NZ based VPSes will provide anything like the space you need for that kind of cost. It may be worth looking for a group buy and running something like opencloud between yourselves - perfectly safe and separate. For example, I have had a server in Canada which provides me with 1TB for $20/mo - but that is an *extra* $20... you can have that much space via sftp for nowt if it's any use!

Just a thought or two (:

Steve.
