You should be really skilled and interested to use it. They have rather hard system. Much harder than other simple cloud storage services. I was testing their Cloud Storage service during Beta. It was nice to see how it goes, but so hard and customized for them, that i decide to not use it ever.
You can use cadaver (or curl) for WebDAV transfers with them.
What makes it so more difficult?
I just looked at Dropbox and it's actually quite expensive.
Do you know if the Prometeus ftp-n-web backup allows SCP transfer?
The most uncommon for me is the one they call "Session". When you log-in with SCP, upload some files, and then re-log-in - you'll not see any files. This is because you need to do 'session restore' which is a crazy process which require deep learning into their system.
P.S. I am talking about Public Cloud Archives.
I think you can get a free account with 5Gb+ space on both box.com and dropbox.com. At least with box.com.
Also check Google Drive, MS Skydrive, Yandex Disk, etc.
The biggest problem with box.com is 250 Mb file limit. But if you're using it for backup purposes this can be solved with splitting bigger files in chunks.
I'm using a free 50 Gb box.com account for my backups with curl upload script which automatically splits files larger than 250 Mb. I've even posted it here in tutorial section. Works pretty fine for me. It's not a single point of backups, you can always use both box.com and dropbox for redundant storage for example.
Nope, never used cloud as a backup service.
But I used the free 100GB FTP backup service OVH gives when you rent a server with them (Soyoustart, OVH's middle range server provider, gives it too).
I used it and I found it a very fast and reliable service.
The only limitation was that only that dedicated server could access the FTP.
Yes, you need to open a ticket though, ssh is not automatically enabled.
Pretty stupid if your dedicated is down and you wont to access your backups xd but its for free though
True, that's what I said to their support. What they do, though, is to open access to the FTP to another server if you open a ticket
Thanks guys, I think I will end up going with Prometeus soon
You can also do this using their API.
just use this: https://github.com/oderwat/hubic2swiftgate
