Is anyone using Amazon S3 for backup? Instead of getting another
independent server, setting up rsync, etc. this seems like a good
solution for backing up a server or sql database. Sure, my ISP does
daily backups, but having more control by backing up the database
off-site would make me sleep better.
Anyone have any experience? Good, bad, suggestions, ideas? Any other
alternatives worth looking at?
It's not an rsync solution (although there are some like
http://s3sync.net/wiki) but a friend of mine who owns a consulting
company employing several telecommuters is using S3 via a $20 piece of
software called Jungle Disk (http://jungledisk.com/) to back up his
laptops in the field. He's been very happy with it. I'm trying to get
one of my clients to consider it for his computers in the wild.
