I've been using mozy for some time now. Never had any problems, used it to reupload some files I deleted.Feel less anxious about losing my images due to computer crash. I think it's a smart way of backing up files.

Are you planning to sign up for a personal account or business account? 

I don't know that I could justify a personal account since I would be uploading my stock images.

Mozy is unlimited storage.

@lisa: I can't justify a personal account, either, so I'm considering a pro account.



@melastmohican: As far as I've understood, the personal account has unlimited storage, the pro account seems to be charging you $0,50 per GB (on top of the standard fee). I'm thinking to store the JPEGs of my stock images, and zipped TIFFs of my assigned work.



@Amos: Intersting. I'll look into that, too, Thanks! Need to do some digging, don't quite understand what they mean with with the Requests?

I'm using Amazon's S3 storage for backing up my vector files. They charge based on how much storage space you use. Right now I'm only paying .36 a month.

$0,36 a month sounds more than reasonable How much data have you stored at amazon?




I think I'll pass the TB of data I'd like to store away from my computer and server soon, or at least wouldn't feel comfortable running into such issues when I do, so thanks for the info, very useful!


For now, the Amazon S3 seems the best option. But I'm unsure about what they mean by requests - As in they charge you $0,01 for every 1000 calls to their servers, even when you're just trying to list the files you've stored there? So, if you have 10.000 files backed up at the Amazon S3 servers, and you're trying to get a list of the files, without changing them, it'll cost you $0,10? How does that work in real life? How often are the files listed?

I do not use it but I heard very good reviews on them. It's 5$ a month by computer.

I use Isyndica as a backup 20GB for $79.9 a year, works for photos, videos and audio and you can also syndicate,promote and manage your portfolio.

I use Dropbox (brilliant), MobileMe (crap) and Box.net (good for sharing files). And Time Machine. Plus a home server with external 12 bay FW800 mirrored RAID hard drives. Would like to add a backup server in another house, but with only DSL "broadband" there is no point to that yet.

Tried Mozy (and BingoDisk), some years ago, but at that time neither provided what I needed.

I'm storing about 2.5 GB. They charge $0.15 per GB. Here's a link to the actual pricing info http://aws.amazon.com/s3/

Another free one I use is icloud.  They also do 100GB for $39.99.
