Absolutely true. I backup a few hundred megs (full backup every week and incremental backups daily) and I pay less than $0.20 a month.

I think I have been successful in obtaining a debit card from the United States. Still, the 15 dollars a month is more than I can afford at this time. I will try the free back up alternatives first. When I can get the funds available, I would like to try the linode service. Hopefully I can get a free service going. I have been trying since the day of the 100 day giveaway to register my account/transfer the funds. Apparently the funds have arrived in America today, and it should be a day and the account will finally be open.


That hundred dollars could have helped been / the back up service : ( .. Day late/dollar short...

S3 is expensive. Including Linode and S3 bandwidth, nightly rsyncs for a full 1536 hard disk with 1% daily churn and seven incrementals stored with a monthly full copy will cost $20.28 per month. Restoring from backup will cost $13 each time.

These are probably worst-case costs, but my overall point is that S3 is expensive, and it's not really a better alternative than the Linode backup service unless you're doing something fancier than just simple backups.


well he should talk with amazon about paying in wire transfer! :P EPIC :twisted:
