Suggestions? - Keeping content safe - Disaster-proof

[myleene]

I have well over 5TB of content and keeping my content safe is becoming an issue.

I do have backups and hosting available, but I'm starting to look at other options to keep my content safe as it does have real value and it's costing me a decent amount simply in safe-keeping it.

What do you use or what are your suggestions?

Ideally I would want something safe long-term, priced well and that offers good security.


spam me your ideas.

Amazon Glacier is cheap. It sucks if you need to restore something on an emergency basis though. I keep a current backup of things like databases that I might need to restore quickly in S3 and roll them to Glacier later.

It sounds exactly like what I would want.

I'm looking at the FAQ to know if they readily accept all types of content or I would have to filelock all files before sending (I'll probably do it anyway).

I'm also having a hard time calculating how much it would cost. I've never found Amazon services to be user-friendly on cost calculations.

It seems to be 0.01$/month/GB.

Put everything on Amazon S3 and then send to glacier all big files...
