Hi,
When you use the rebuild function, downloaded packages or personal files will be deleted as you know. I noticed emdedded backup service here, but i need storing files instead of image backups.
So i think about Rackspace's Cloud Files or Amazon's S3. What do you think or recommend? I need to use the solution with Linode like mounting in nfs.
Thx,

| Neither S3 nor CloudFiles are, to my knowledge, suitable for use as a POSIX filesystem through NFS. You can, but at least with S3 it makes no guarantees about consistency as things propagate, so it's risky (and slow). |

Don't know if there is code to mount it with NFS, but if you're in Dallas you might look at SoftLayer / CloudLayer. Seems like a similar offering to Amazon and Rackspace, but in the same facility and thus much lower latency.
No affiliation, I had just done some research on it a few weeks ago. |
