How much stuff are you backing up? Doesn't it get expensive? - Rafe Needleman from twhirl

Likewise! I absolutely LOVE Jungle Disk and I've been using it since sometime last year. I have a total of ~50GB backed up and only update/backup 1-3GBs a month (if even that) and the money I'm paying each month is negligible. - Philip

Don't try backing up your photos, music and home videos though. If you really lead a digital lifestyle, you'll have thousands of photos, lots of music and lots of GB of home videos (hey, my Kodak Zi6 fills up 1-16GB every time I plug it to sync with the computer). Hard drive space is dirt cheap (1 TB for less than $100) but try backing up to Jungle Disk, you'll go broke. If it's worth having, it's worth backing up no? Until I can backup a TB or more online and afford it, this is of no use... - Odi Kosmatos

For the record, in 2008, I had successfully backed up my most important 650GB to Keepvault.com (it took months to upload) and the price was $100 per year. But at the end of the year they said "Sorry, our unlimited data backup plan is being eliminated.". It was too good to be true... - Odi Kosmatos

Yikes, using the calculator tool above, it seems storing 1 TB is $3000 a month. I could buy one 1 TB drive a day for that price and bring one off-site to my workplace every morning, indefinitely, for the same price. - Odi Kosmatos

It's not about storing terabytes of data, it's about storing essentials away somewhere else. Think safety deposit box and not self-storage sheds. - Erik Garcia

Me personally, I don't have that much digital media to store, but I do have mountains of source code I'd rather not lose which I back up with a couple free online storage solutions on a regular basis. If you're a digital photographer or a podcaster or movie maker, part of _your_ job/business involves being responsible for maintaining archives of whatever 'knowledge work' you generate. - Erik Garcia

I have about 70GB up on Amazon too, but I'm about to reduce it down to my 4 + 5 star images only. - Ryan

@ Odi: 30-35GB of the 50GB that are backed up on Jungle Disk are pictures & music. My music collection doesn't grow that quickly and neither does my photo gallery so what you're saying isn't the case for everyone. The most I've paid with a ton of uploading is maybe $8 but usually my monthly bill is $1-2/month. - Philip
