I guess I still don't see the advantage, at least price-wise, to pay-as-you-use hosting/backups/whatever. Lets say I have 100GB of photos and home movies I want to store on Amazon's service. That's $15 a month right there, plus the $17 it costs simply to upload it.

I understand, I'm taking a risk with my web host that they won't like me using their site as a backup service, but until I hit that wall I'm going to save a good amount of money, and I can always switch to the new backup system when necessary.


Ah, heck, I'm starting to think that I'm just going to stick to backing everything up onto a spare hard drive and take it over to the parents' house once a week...
