[gentoo-user] [OT] Off site storage solution
This is very OT, but maybe I can finde some suggestions here. I've got a gentoo server running on a VPS from linode http://www.linode.com/ . I'm using the basic plan (linode 360) and I'm happy with that. The plan gives me 16gb storage that is enough for the webserver to work and to store a lot user documents (PDF mostly) in the site. Now an user asked me to store online his bibliography that it's about 96gb and growing. A realtively cheap solution would be to store at home his documents (well protected and backupped), on a dedicated nas. The matter is that my isp doesn't give me a lot of upload bandiwidth (while I can download more than 1mb/s I can't upload more than 50k/s). This might become kinda annoying if the user is on the other side of the world and wants to show to a collegue a 190mb pdf. I could also upgrade my linode to a linode 2880, that would give me enough space (128GB instead of 16) but will also cost me much more ($159.95 per month instaed of $19.95). This is due to the fact that they will also increase my ram and data transfer (that I don't need). Is anyone aware of a off site storage solution that could satisfay my needs?

I might provide the user both a physical storage (at my place) and the amazon s3. This way the user will be able to use the local one for 90% of his needs, integrated in the web interface he alredy knows and uses everyday (or maybe a knowledgtree installation would be even better), and a link for fast downloads, near every file that will connect directly to the amazon server. If I set up a script to keep in sync my local storage and the amazon one, the user will be able to reduce the costs (only download from amazon when really needed), and will not have to bother learning a new interface.
