Cloud plus the ability to backup to friends for extra redundancy.
4 years unlimited data cloud for $150. Dirt cheap. Or backup to a
network of friends for free.
+1 on Crashplan.
All cloud based backups are only going to be as fast as the

I read that uploads max out at 600 kbps, but I didn't see even half of

I think you're mixing up speeds... It maxes out at 600 kB/s, not at 600
kb/s. 600kB/s would be 4800kb/s. How fast is

I view any online backup solution as a maybe service. (as stated
before in this thread by Erland).
*Every* backup sol'n (whether it be cloud-based or on-premise kit) is a
maybe service, even if covered by contracts with service level
agreements, data loss penalty clauses etc. etc.
Ppl in the storage industry don't tend to sleep safe unless protected

looking for ~700GB disk space somewhere to make off-site backups.

It's so slow that it would take years (literally) to upload a large FLAC
library.
If large means more than 700GB then there's a local HD transfer
service. Just shipped mine off. :)

This looks like a very interesting new concept from Spoon (the
dbPoweramp guy). The beta is now open to anyone. Has anyone tried it
(or the competition) yet?
The most obvious compelling aspect is that it is free to upload any
size music library, you just pay to restore. We will launch at $5 per
Wow, cool idea. First thought was: ambitious business case, what do you
do if everybody uploads all that stuff and nobody ever restores but
then you are right, finding dupes might actually make that level out at
a certain point, especially if you also use dbpoweramp to do an exact
rip and to get
In this type of business, there is NO guarantee the backup or the

It seems you are right, they will read the files, to use data for auto

Their TsCs still say their liability is limited to payments. So no
liability for storage. Seems a good concept, but I like my backup with
