These cloud service are really useful. But the most I like and I use is that Amazon EC2. Then I will also use a EC2 software to make the deployment and managing my cloud account faster and easier.

Hi Paul! Good advice to make multiple copies of data. I’ve got a physical copy and a cloud copy. Sometimes I think it’s overkill, but I’m sure I’ll be thankful for it IF the unthinkable happened.

I currently use Mozy, and haven’t had any issues with it. It does exactly what I need it to do.

You post is interesting in that you explored several different online backup providers. I have always said that you should choose one that fits your workflow, and it appears that you have done it. I’m glad you were able to find one that works for you.

One last thing: remember to always make multiple copies of your data – just in case.

Alexis,

I had a similar set of requirements as you and went with the following:

a) DropBox
Primarily for the ease of use with linking files to a folder and automatic sync. Also the fact that I can access these files when I am traveling or with a client

b) Wuala
This is a whole new concept in online storage, need extra space but don’t want to pay for it? Then you can get this storage by sharing any extra storage you have on your hard drive!
So far this is great for me, I use it mainly for archiving – give it a try.

And thanks for the detailed descriptions of the services you tried!
