Re: cloud storage?
Following up on my old post:
CrashPlan so far is meeting all of my needs . They have more features than they did a year ago, and they have some crucial archiving features I really like. Unlimited storage, drives that are offline locally stay in the cloud (and are remembered when they come back online), and like Retrospect, locally deleted files never get deleted from the cloud. The cloud features are the ones I'm most interested in, but there are also features I haven't tested, like managing backups to other computers on your LAN.
The downside is that your upload speeds might be a real bottleneck, on the other hand, Crashplan's data compression on the way up is pretty aggressive. The log shows 34GB packages being compressed to 16GB (!).
Anyway, I increased my upload speeds to make Crashplan faster, and I'll likely stop using Backblaze soon. While I haven't tested all of these, I read enough about JungleDisk, Mozy, Gobbler, and Iron Mountain to think that I've made a good choice.
