Have you done a backup recently?

[jabbr]

I also use Amazon Cloud Drive for backup ... I backup from my NAS using the command line interface (acd_cli) ... everything

 

... of course I have 1Gbs fiber ... in real terms 800+M down and 200M up.

My very knowledgable friend who just moved there from Google also assures me it's ultra reliable

I have been trying to back up to the cloud. With my 1mb/s uploads, I'm only getting 8gb per day. With over 3tb to backup, this painful.

 

I need to find a way to do a full backup at uni... I'm sure it's faster, but not sure how fast.

 

But thought the cloud might be cheaper long term...

 

I wondered if there might be companies that back up your hard drives super fast... but couldn't see that on google - anyone found such a service?

I backup from my ubuntu NAS to Amazon Cloud using the command line. Install the "acdcli" package.

I ssh into my NAS and then use "byobu" to create a persistent job -- if the SSH gets disconnected (often) you can simply

$ byobu attach

to get back on...

 

yes the initial upload takes weeks... but best to start rather than keep talking because it would be done by now

It's 20Mbps.

 

I may be able to limit the traffic to say 15Mbps to allow enough bandwidth on the pipe for existing traffic.

 

Amazon S3 has an initial seed via HDD mail in, but too expensive for this amount of data.

 

Hmm, let me explore it. Thanks!

 

I thought Amazon charges something like $80 for a HDD upload?
