Has anyone tried this?

I have done some test is the past..did not work for me.

At the moment testing SugarSync
Looks very promising
Nice thing is the web interface including Iphone support for media files.
And you can upload data form different computers.

price +/- 10 euro per month for 100gb

SugarSync Update:
Uploading data from two different machine
Homeseer server (Windows XP)
Imac

All the info is available via web interface per computer you can view/download/delete

Upload speed +/- 800 kb/s per computer

first 10Gb is for free in the first 45 days

Just downloaded the Iphone client..WOW
I can access all my files including direct view of media files

yes thats a option...only problem i need Internet at there location...<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">It's a really good option, I have it running. Both my parents and my girlfriend parents have Internet. Just put the NAS in the Fuse box Closet and schedule the Rsync options of the NAS. Much better then having your data at a Datacenter and god nows what happens with it. In times of crisis your supplier have to be really reliable!

I'm using 2 synology NAS Servers and they have Rsync as well, but also a network backup to another synology NAS with possibility of encryption.
Not sure how this goes right now?

Just uploaded 5,5Gb of data from two different machines to SugarSynce.
https://www.sugarsync.com/

Lot of pictures...You can watch the picture on the Iphone
Works even better the Flickr
Some nice options for mirroring machines..this way you will have you work machine in synce with home PC.

Few things that are not possible at the moment.
- Network drives
- Removable media
..

they are a bit price.

I use Jungledisk with Amazon S3 cloud services for 4 months now. Quite happy with it.

Storage
$0.15 per GB-Month of storage used
Data Transfer
$0.10 per GB of data uploaded
$0.17 per GB of data downloaded
Requests
$0.01 per 1,000 upload requests
$0.01 per 10,000 download requests

Does everything I want, works with network drives, installs on Mac and Win2K3, can do versioning etc.

SugarSync update:
Uploaded 22 gb of data from 4 different machines.
It has some nice build in options that can replicate data cross machines if you place it in your Magic Briefcase.
Also at work no problems with firewall all works via https protocol
All the documents are direct accessible via pc/mobile device/iphone.
You can send the documents directly to others users by sending a e-mail..only the correct url will be send.
user can download the document from Sugarsync (21 days)

Hey, I use BackupandShare.com. They have a free account space for 1 GB and its very simple to use with additional features like incremental automatic and scheduled backup and also mobile access.

spam?

well the link does not work (still has domotica forum in front of it) and no linux?

Looking around I came across SpiderOak Free Online Backup. (https://spideroak.com/)
Space: 2 Gigabytes
Price: Lifetime Free
Multi Platform Support - Mac, Windows, Linux Compatible

I've not tested (yet), but might be worth to check out. 2GB is not a lot, but instead of syncing all data, I'm looking at a place where I can store some aggregated SQL tables as well as important config files.

just remove the dot at the end..
Looks okay..

Just got a subscription to the http://www.backblaze.com backup service:
-$5/month or $50/year
-Unlimited backup

The backup SW immediately starts backing up nearly all files on your harddrives. Pause Pause!
You have to spend some time configuring the exclude directories, to prevent that 3TB is being backed up
Use http://www.windirstat.info to identify large files and possibly exclude them.

Good:
-$5/month unlimited backup

Bad:
-Slow: 30-100kb/sec

I did contact support which responded really quick. After 2 days I had an email conversation with the CTO
If you do have $7500 you can buy 67 TeraBytes yourself: blog.backblaze.com/2009/09/01/petabytes ... d-storage/

I had seen that backblaze box before, nice setup/development.

I think I am going to stick a 1,5 Tb green disk in my HA server, and backup my other home devices to that using rsync or so.

I then take out a backblaze subscription on my HA server for $50/year and schedule it for backing up during night only. Its quiet on the HA front then anyway.

That way my HA server is protected and my user pc´s as well for only EUR 35 a year.

Still using a local Synology NAS for quick access, media serving, timemachine etc, so that is my primary mechanism, but in case of a fire I still have my data.

Is there anything in above setup that does not make sense (other than that I could use my HA server as a NAS)....?
