Linode will soon announce a large scale storage and backup product. You might be able to trial it if you ask. :-) (Extra storage is relatively expensive at Linode because you're buying more space on your host itself, rather than from an aggregated storage platform. Sure, disk is cheap, but not when you're competing for space with other VMs on a single host! The economics of storage at Linode will change once they have the new platform in place.) - Jeff -- The Great Australian Internet Blackout http://www.internetblackout.com.au/ GNOME.
