[PLUG] Online storage options?
Looking for online storage options with following perspective: - Main purpose - backup. - For use with Linux / NetBSD, preferably NFS mountable, less preferably sshfs mountable or at least rsync-able. - Sharing contents with others over internet is NOT my requirement - Connectivity with mobile devices (or platforms like Android) is NOT a requirement. - Plain simple storage service. No bells and whistles like webui, drag and drop and all that is necessary. (For above 3 points, if they just come with a service, I won't reject the service for that. Just that I don't need them.) - Reliable uptime. Will be synced at least daily. - (Storage level) encryption necessary: May have sensitive contents. - Free/paid, both ok. I'll assess price suitability separately. - I haven't arrived at exact space requirements. Roughly it might begin with say 10 GB and may grow in future. - Preferably some time trusted service or a brand that can be trusted for A. data security and B. will last long. Hope this is not too much to ask for and such services are available. Solicit suggestions. Mayuresh. ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List

Amazon S3? -- OR -- Buy a web hosting service with your desired storage with ssh option. You may have to encrypt at file level. -- OR -- A VPS with desired storage. ssh -- Arun Khan Sent from my non-iphone/non-android device ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List

Thanks for the suggestions. Please see below. > Amazon S3? Sounds good, though NetBSD driver seems challenging as per my web search. > -- OR -- > Buy a web hosting service with your desired storage with ssh option. > You may have to encrypt at file level. > > -- OR -- > A VPS with desired storage. ssh Thanks. Will search. If you know any good ones, please do suggest. Also any techniques known by which I do not need encryption at a file level? Probably if you get a virtual server itself, you can create encrypted FS. Not sure about options available. Also it might turn out to be costlier than "just storage". Alternatively a local replica can be maintained that forms encrypted chunks of files. Even for that if any filesystem provides builtin support it would be nice.

Will search. If you know any good ones, please do suggest. After your mail, I did a quick search and it seems, 500GB dedicated server is about 10-11K/- INR per month. See if thats within your budget. That could be bit higher end than you desire. > Also any techniques known by which I do not need encryption at a file > level? Loop back encrypted mount? I would still prefer file level encryption. With some effort, it can be automated. -- Regards Shridhar ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
