Hey Chris, I've been deleting the articles about most of the Amazon Cloud instead of reading them, so a couple questions if you happen to know. I gather the ECC is basically a virtual server with a full OS installation? (I currently have one on those at a provider that I run our company website on.) If so, could I consolidate my current webserver virtual Server and then add on the EBS storage to backup our fileservers to it? Not sure how the ECC is priced, but EBS includes per i/o pricing. Would that be a lot for a rdiff-backup backend server? Also, is anyone already doing something like this? Personally, I use rdiff-backup to a local drive, then rsync the whole repository offsite to a online storage vendor. I'm currently paying about $75/month for 250GB of repository.
