[Hidden-tech] Secure online data storage

[Mark Firehammer]

Thumbs up on Amazon S3. We've been using it for offsite office data
archiving as well as remote website database backup for 4 months.  Good
value all around.

Subject: [Hidden-tech] Secure online data storage


I'm evaluating secure online data storage, wonder if anyone else has any
experience they can share. I've looked over various services including
online backup services like Mozy, and various FTP data services. Found a
fairly good list of available services here:
http://www.internetservicedeals.com/blog/66/store-it-100-online-spaces-to-st
ore-all-your-data/ . 

I'm leaning towards Amazon's S3 service, which looks cheap enough ( 15
cents/month per gigabyte of storage, 10 cents/gig data transfer in, 17
cents/gig data transfer, 1 cent per GET/POST), has a lot of flexibility for
use, and has other associated services available (cloud computing etc) that
might come in handy. It also seems likely to be secure and well trusted both
for my purposes as well as for comforting clients.

Anybody have experience using the Amazon services? Recommendations for that
or an alternative service?

PS - thanks to those who recommended using Camtasia for creating
screencasts, I evaluated it with a few other options and agree it's the best
choice. Have a video on our home page now.
