I finally got round to using a different solution: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jungledisk.com\/\"><strong>JungleDisk<\/strong><\/a>, a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/WebDAV\">WebDAV<\/a> frontend for <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Amazon_S3\">Amazon Simple Storage Services<\/a> (S3).<\/p>\n<p>What I really like about the software and the company is that they don&#8217;t claim that their data will be safe forever at their location. They confess it is possible for a company to vanish. In order to prevent you from being locked out they have outsourced the storage to Amazon, which provides cheap storage on a &#8220;pay what you need&#8221; basis.<\/p>\n<p>JungleDisk provides encryption of the documents using AES and only you can decrypt them. To be on the safe side you&#8217;ll always be able to retrieve your data, they have released parts of the code covering filename-mangling and encryption under GPL.<\/p>\n<p>JungleDisk is available for Windows, Linux and Mac. As said, they provide a WebDAV frontend so any WebDAV client can interact with it. It also features a local cache to prevent needing to download a file on every access. There is also an automated backup routine.<\/p>\n<p>Costs are reasonably. At the time of writing, JungleDisk costs 20 US-$ once, with promised life-long updates and patches. All you need to pay for is Amazon fees for your usage, which are at 0.15$\/GB\/month, 0.10$\/GB inbound traffic, and 0.18$\/GB outbound traffic. You see, you can store lots of data for around 10$ per month.<\/p>\n<p>One big minus-side of this is that Amazon&#8217;s data-centers are very slow from Europe, I was able to achieve around 700-800kbit\/s (90-100kB\/s) from our office connection. On the pro-side, due to the caching and background transfer, you don&#8217;t notice that the transfers are so slow, unless you need to download something. As I am using it for automated backup, I hope to never have to download anything.<\/p>\n<p>So if you are searching for an offsite backup solution, you should definitely consider JungleDisk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I featured Mozy, a tool for automated online backup on Windows and Mac.
