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:

  1. Supports Multiple platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux)
  2. High Encryption supported (AES 256 bit buckets)
  3. Inexpensive ($.10 / Gigabyte) monthly storage ( Transfer in or out is $.15/Gb)
  4. Enhanced package available ($1.00/Mo.) to update large files to save time on those really big files
  5. Easy to install and setup
  6. Storage is on a RAID array provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3
  7. Inexpensive to purchase ($20 for as many computers as you need backed up)
  8. You only pay for what you use so no more over paying
  9. 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.
