RamNode 50gb <$2/mo could work.
You could get a RamNode VPS? 90GB SSD-Cached Storage, 128MB RAM. $14.88 with coupon WOWNUM1 - The Plan is CVZ-E5
Yes, the problem I see to use a third company is: your data is there, too, right?
I'd like to find a solution server A and server B (backup) only see my data.
If 100Gb costs $3.5, $50 will cost $1.50 - $2
In the other hand, you can download for your own computer and upload again (not the best option).
You could get a backupsy if other people being able to see your data is a problem. Its KVM based so if you use LVM encryption then it'd be excessively hard for anyone to snoop into your data.
Its 50 GB not 90
Ah yeah, wrong plan. The one above it has 90GB.
Yes, it is not 90Gb.
Is it Linux? Have you thought about something like tarsnap.com?
Prometeus do 50Gb backup space for €10/year or 100Gb for €18/year
https://www.prometeus.net/billing/cart.php?gid=15
Used Prometeus backup plan (256 MB/400GB) for over a year now, and could not be more happy. 99.914% uptime (with 1 minute monitoring) last year. And it's fast compared with all of the US solutions I have used in the past.
Likewise I use it too and have no complaints at all. Great price, always works, simple solution - exactly what i want in a backup offering.
I use it with duplicity, perfect simple backup solution:

Something like $1 / month.
Can you give your opinion about it?
It looks like not cheaper than prometeus.
I second this. I been using backupsy for almost a year now and its gone great and the lvm works like a cram
Just started using it, currently running my first backup through it. It looks a bit like rsync. If you think its not cheaper than prometeus, read this. I will share my opinion about it once my backup completes.
Unfortunately, I have not personally used them. It's my understanding that it becomes cheaper after all the data is synced up and nightlies/hourlies take less space since they de-duplicate data.
I do not know. Maybe my mistake. But I could not see advantage, yet.
In the example I could read there:
In index page:
1GB = $0.30 to storage + $0.30 to bandwidth = $0.60 / Gb
First time you do a backup (50Gb):
50Gb x $0.60 = $30
In prometeus I could use 50Gb (zipped files made by cpanel) for $1 / month.
I could not understand this part:
From 17.7TB to 13.8Gb after compression. \o/
In Cpanel's hosting your backups are already ZIPPED.
As I wrote in the beginning, maybe my mistake.
Maybe someone could explain it better.
What do you think about to use AMAZON GLACIER as a backup solution?

Why not to use Amazon as a Backup solution?
Maybe this list can help, too:

crashplan is a solid service.
i was with them for 3 years before i went the, backupsy + btsync route for my backups.
Yeah, don't use it. Charged me $4 for 9GB of files. Now if I keep adding original files, they'll charge me an arm and a leg.
Tarsnap is positively awesome. Data-deduplication and compression for free. My picocent usage this month was a few US cent.
How much data are you storing there? How often do you update the data?
I second the recommendation. I use Galcier through Arq (for mac), I store my most important stuff there (about 50 GB), the bill is about a dollar every month. It is pretty neat for backups in my opinion
Prometeus have a 50% off coupon (so €9 or $11.70/yr) for their 100GB backup plan right now:
https://www.prometeus.net/billing/cart.php?a=add&pid=82&promocode=FTP10050
I have doubts about this, too. I could not see advantage for a BACKUP solution (some Gb).
Yes. I could see the problem is when you want the backup back. You have to wait a few hours and pay a tax (if I am not wrong, $20).
For me, the best option until now.
Total Recurring: $11.70 Annually
$1/month for 100Gb and 400Gb traffic.
Not bad.
I just use an €8 Kimsufi and ownCloud.
Question about Prometeus Backup Plan please, is it a complete VPS or a FTP account ? Thanks !
I think that plan only is a FTP account. I have used their KVM backup plan, and it's not the same as what you are looking at now.
