I would suggest addition of Amazon Web Services Simple Storage. Here is the relevant line from my Jan statement:
$0.15 per GB-Month 5.953 GB-Mo 0.90

You are reading that correctly ... 90c pm for 6 gig.

Hi, Mark, I’ve been using IBackup for Windows for regular backups of my files and folders.

With IBackup for Windows you can perform interactive and automatic backups with compression and encryption during transmission, incremental/full backups, synchronization, advanced logging and reporting. You can also backup open files with this application. IBackup supports backups for UNIX and Linux-based computers using rsync. IBackup accounts are compatible with most FTP clients on most platforms providing a powerful flexible tool to transfer files.

Using IDrive you can map your online account as a local drive on your computer and work on the documents or data as if they are on your PC. With IDrive there is directory and file caching for faster read access and file transfer resumes on temporary disconnections. You can backup your music or video files in your account and use ‘IDrive Multimedia’ to create playlists or fast forward songs.

With Web-Manager, a browser-based application, easily share files by creating sharable links and emailing them to your buddies and partners. Web-Manager is a browser-based application that lets you create folders, webload files, rename, move, delete and share files or folders with others for collaborative access. Lock files and folders as a real time notification to collaborators to let them know that the file is currently reserved for modification. You can also use the ‘Media Gallery’ in Web-Manager to manage all your photos, audio and video files. The `Private Share’ feature allows an IBackup account holder to instantly share portions of the account with another IBackup user.

You can also check IBackup Professional, which provides a secure, efficient, reliable, cost effective and easy to use Internet based backup solution with additional emphasis on security and data retention. In this the encryption is based on a user-defined key so that the data stored on IBackup Professional servers cannot be decrypted by anybody other than you. Up to 30 prior versions, including the most recent version of the data files, can be restored. You can restore any version of file from among the versions saved.

Hi Mark,
After reading your post, I wanted to tell you about Carbonite. Carbonite offers consumers and small businesses an online backup service that helps you avoid the painstaking process of manual backup and it can be accessed at any hour of the day, wherever there is an Internet connection.

Carbonite recognizes that people do not want to worry about installing and setting up new software, or be responsible for scheduling backups. The company makes it as easy and painless as possible and offers unlimited storage for only $49 a year to ensure every photo, file, document and song is saved in the event of a failed hard drive. The service runs quietly in the background, only transferring data when you aren’t actively using the system. If you go online to download content or surf the web, Carbonite pauses the upload process in order to allow your current project to run at full speed.

Consumers around the country are already benefiting from online backup and I would love to discuss this topic with you further. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or if you would like a 30 day trial of the software to test it for yourself.

Along all the software mentioned here I would like to add the possibility for backup through a sharing site. Like for photos for example you have flickr or the new Saatchi Gallery. For all the multi-media on your computer you have different solutions. But this solution is mostly home-user oriented.

Backups differ from archives in the sense that archives are the primary copy of data and backups are a secondary copy of data. Backup systems differ from fault-tolerant systems in the sense that backup systems assume that a fault will cause a data loss event and fault-tolerant systems assume a fault will not. damage restoration

Various schemes can be employed to shrink the size of the source data to be stored so that uses less storage space. Compression is frequently a built-in feature of tape drive hardware. shade sails

I think one of the best solutions is to have a central server, from which you start your programms and so on. in big firms thats probably the best solution. Schüchternheit

Have you heard about the photo printers recognition software? Well, that can help a lot and of course it does provide an advantage but only if you want to.
