I’ve been thinking for a while how to properly keep back-ups of all of my data while, at the same time, saving a few bucks. Since the “cloud computing” term is now floating all over the Internet, I thought that a distributed, remote back-up service might do the work for me.
I looked around and found quite different services, but most of them offer ridiculously small storage size, like 5GB, or force me into using sub-par Web-based user interfaces that make using rsync complicated or unfeasible. I’m looking services that offer 2TB+ storage and, so far, the only solution that I find promising is Amazon S3. The problem is price. Keeping 2,048GB of data stored in Amazon S3 costs me about $300 USD per month, plus a one-time cost for uploading the data. At that price, for a whole year, I can buy a QNAP TS-809 filled with 8 x 1.5TB disks 🙂
So, unfortunately for me, multi-terabyte back-up copies to the Internet are still to expensive. Perhaps, in 5 years, technology will drive prices down such as that I can afford to keep my back-ups on the Internet.

You´re welcome.
I would like to see us go a little less for blocks to set up returns. With blocking, we might have some room to run.
Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer for your site. You have some really good articles and I believe I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d love to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please send me an e-mail if interested. Many thanks!
The biggest benefit I see in using the Cloud for accounting applications is the anytime anywhere access it provides. No more worries about snow days or anything else that might keep you housebound. Another nice benefit is the ability to walk clients through the applications when they have specific questions on how to do something we both login and the client can see what I’m doing a great teaching tool.
Good foundation. This could be 5 stars if it could link up to your personal cloud sites account.
It’s the second time when i’ve seen your site. I can understand a lot of hard work has gone in to it. It’s really great.
