The Weekly E-mail: Your suggestions

I currently use Mozy and have used Carbonite in the past and I believe they're both (Mozy certainly is at $4.95/about £2.50 per month) much cheaper and offer unlimited data backup. And you can set it to back up as often as you want to. Mozy backs up automatically daily on mine. Although I can click on it to back up whenever I feel like it.

Thought you might be interested in the following post I made, to follow on from the Credit Card flight freebies in the current weekly email.

BMI are offering a free flight (with taxes to pay though, as per the credit card offer) just for joining their diamond club rewards program.

for online backups the cheapest and easiest I have found so far is

Jungledisk and Amazon S3

Martin's newest 3 lessons book has dropped to £3.44 at Amazon, so anyone who bought it for £3.49 within the last 30 days should be able to get the difference back. Not a lot, admittedly, but look after the pennies and all that. The emails needs to update the price in any case.

It depends on how much you want to store I guess. If it's under 2 "GB" then there are free options available elsewhere such as the ones I mentioned. If it's a significant amount then the paid services of the links I gave are for unlimited data and it doesn't matter how much you want to backup or transfer, all for a fixed price per month/year.

If you only have a small amount to store and are happy with the encryption with a free service then no probs, but looking at the sums for Mozy and Carbonite they are both approx £25 per year, whereas

Jungle Disk - one off payment of £10.10 approx. This then includes all future upgrades

Amazon S3 services -
4Gb - £4.12 per year - total including Jungle Disk £14.12
8GB - £8.24 per year - total including Jungle Disk £18.34

Then once you have purchased Jungledisk you are only paying for the Amazon S3 services.

I guess it just depends what you are happy using.

And on usage, I'll have to look into it further and whether my current usage would be cheaper with them. I've added it to the backup sticky on the techie board.

On the DF diaries board Memory Girl has come up with a good suggestion (well, I think so anyway)
