Can anyone recommend an off-site or online backup solution? If you
do use one is there any issues with bandwidth?
I like to backup to an Amazon S3 storage area. I tried Jungle Disk at
first and it is okay but for the kind of backup functionality that you'd
really want you need to pay more dollars.
So I tried s3sync which is open source code using Ruby and it works
wonderfully well! It is like using rsync but with an S3 destination. So
it is smart enough to copy over only those things that have actually
changed since the last run. This is a huge savings in bandwidth and
backup time. I'm backing up about 60Gb and the S3 charges run me around
$3 to $4 per month (it varies based on bandwidth use).
