Needing some sane, unbiased input from my technical brethren. Should I pay my new web host $100/month to perform backups of my VPS, or should i save that money and put complete trust in an Amazon S3 backup solution that I can implement myself? The pros and cons as I see them are:
Pros for dropping the hundred bucks: I don't have to think about anything...if there's a need for restoration, i just tell the host to do it. Cons for dropping the hundred bucks: I'm dropping a hundred bucks Pros for amazon s3: I save a hundred bucks (minus Amazon's miniscule storage fee); Cons for amazon s3: I have to perform recovery procedures myself (which I'm unsure how to do using this service); I can't "touch" my backups (I feel better being able to put my backups in my pocket, so to speak - not an issue for me if the host is bearing the responsibility of backup and recovery) Any input regarding my dilemma? Wish I wasn't such a tightwad, but I am. :) Thanks!
