How do I setup an offsite backup?
I have been recommending Jungle Disk for the last year or so for off site backup (Secure encrypted off site storage).
Jungle disk has multiple advantages for backup:
- Supports Multiple platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux)
- High Encryption supported (AES 256 bit buckets)
- Inexpensive ($.10 / Gigabyte) monthly storage ( Transfer in or out is $.15/Gb)
- Enhanced package available ($1.00/Mo.) to update large files to save time on those really big files
- Easy to install and setup
- Storage is on a RAID array provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3
- Inexpensive to purchase ($20 for as many computers as you need backed up)
- You only pay for what you use so no more over paying
- Everything you store is encrypted with at least one cipher.
Drive letter access ( you can map a drive letter and use it like an external hard disk if you wish)
I highly recommend this backup methodology for a good automatic daily backup to accompany a physical external drive in your home or office.
