    great post thanks but In the case of a natural disaster I will have other things to worry about.

    so what I will do. I will get a vps to host the important files and an hdd to host all the others. i will use duplicati, as it seems to work great!!

    I can also recommend it, i'm using it for daily encrypted backups to Amazon S3 and it works like a charm.

    Lucky.
    I thought BuyVM backup plans were just myths. :D

    As for not-so-important large backups I use (drum roll...)FREE fileserve FTP. Yes I'm cheap! My important files are small enough to be replicated on all my vps'es + home PC.

    well i just realized that duplicati doesn't support syncing. too bad!!

    do unison support scheduled backups and rsync? if not what can i use for it?

    IMHO, external hard disk. Why to pay 10-15 per month or more when you pay like 60-80 for a hard disk? Just the price of 4 months and then the disk is yours. Need redundancy, buy another! :D

    Unless you need availability of your information anywhere, I don't see the reason to use online backup systems.

    2 TB disk rsyncing between and it's flying.

    Duplicati uploads only incremental data, its not a full bqckup everytime.

    Which is good if you can retrieve previous versions n_n

    @yomero nah, i want to rsync.

  • WhizzWrWhizzWr Member

    Amazon S3 + s3cmd? rsync would work too

    The problem with most online backup solutions is the upload speed if you are on DSL with only 512 or 1024 Kbps :-)

    I use a mix of online services: google for photo (picasa) and documents, dropbox for documents and file I need to share at fly between my pc, notebook and android devices, one of my own VM for git repository backup of google apps stuffs, etc, amazon s3 as a second layer of backup for my VM

    ;-)
