Amazon S3 and Altexa

Filed under: Computer Related, Software, money — barrettorama @ 3:34 am

A friend turned me on to the Amazon Simple Storage Service the other day.
I needed a backup service for some files. Starting up a business, I’ve been accumulating some data I really don’t want to lose, so I don’t want to worry or spend to much on backup solutions.

For 12 bucks for a year of service, a gig of space, and backup software; I don’t think it’s too bad.

It’s Ok for speed. And I think it would be OK for most basic users.

The software interface is pretty. I’d say it has all the basics.
Some things I’d like to see:

  • Reporting, maybe to CSV
  • Backup Time adjustments:This they could save themselves some bandwidth money on.

ALTEXA

Jungle Disk looks pretty cool.
