Online data storage and backups
Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2008 1:32 am
So, more and more online data storage services pop up, like Amazon S3 and dropbox for example. How many of you already use these services? Or how many are thinking about it?
I'm considering something like this to use as an extra backup strategy. Of course I have my local backup discs, but for extra safety I should have backups somewhere else. In case my house burns down or a thief robs everything. Of course I could copy my data to another HD and bring it somewhere else, but that would be impractical.
I could also put everything I have in subversion and put the repository on a server somewhere, but I don't know if that works for files in general (photo's, video, etc)
