My big problem is that it costs more to get data out than to put it in. http://www.amazon.com/S3-AWS-home-page-Money/b?ie=UTF8&node=16427261 *Storage *$0.15 per GB-Month of storage used *Data Transfer *$0.10 per GB - all data transfer in $0.18 per GB - first 10 TB / month data transfer out $0.16 per GB - next 40 TB / month data transfer out $0.13 per GB - data transfer out / month over 50 TB Not a scenario I want to be dealing with during a stressful situation. Take a look at an actual backup provider such as raidarray.net or rsync.net .
