I have setup my home to use www.elephantdrive.com - to be secondary to an external USB drive.
They use Amazon S3 for their backend: http://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/elephantdrive/ I can setup a private key encryption and they can't ready my data. I get unlimited storage for $50 per year. I get immediate access to my data from any computer (cool!). It think carbonite requires some email correspondence to retrieve your files, but that could be bogus. FYI I read somewhere about the carbonite lawsuit and they no longer use promise controllers :-). I addition to automatic backups, I can also use elephantdrive as a "drag and drop" file store. The backups can be set to run when idle or whatever. They have home and business accounts. The business accounts can have "sub accounts", I haven't looked at that. I may move a small business to this service after I stress test it at home. One observation on the home service, you must be logged in for it to run. hth, Devin On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 12:10 PM, Pete Howard <[email protected]> wrote: > Is Mozy better than Carbonite ?
