I think Shachar is missing one point about S3 and similar amazon services.
You are assuming that amazon created infrastructure specifically for S3.
S3 and other products is amazon renting off it's over-capacity, as
such it *pays* for amazon to have a very reliable and stable
infrastructure

If this is not good enough for you too
IMO, the quote does not promise a nine nines assurance.
It only says that Amazon Glacier WAS DESIGNED to provide this kind of
assurance.

Nadav, Amazon has a special service made just for this:
http://aws.amazon.com/glacier/pricing/
The trick with Glacier is that the data is stored _offline_. That
means two things:
1) It is actually more failure-redundant than EBS, S3, or rsync.net
2) You get your data about an hour _after_ you

Well, Glacier indeed appears to be great service, but it's not very
convenient to back up a Linux machine with it. I was looking

Hi,
Few things:
- You can use S3, but then the rsync could be problematic, since there
is no rsync server on the other side.
- Amazon EBS is nice, but the Micro instance to use it with EBSis free
based on your usage. I used the free Micro instance as a slave DNS and
after 2 months

This is the part I'd need to code - run some sort of server process on
EC2. I agree that it would be easier to do

Google lets you pay for a minimal time of 15 minutes.

Thanks, good to know.
However, for my purposes, 60 cents (one hour a day) vs 15 cents (15
minutes a day) are not big
For this purpose I am using an old desktop computer equipped with big
enough disk and a cron job to automatically fetch backups from remote
servers when it is switched on. Yes, it store data in a fixed location, but
given that it is only meant to backups, I can live with it for now. By the
way,
