Not long ago I wrote a rather unflattering review of Mozy. I feel bad in a way because I still believe that the concept is good. I haven't played with the software recently but I am guessing that my voice was loud enough to influence significant change.
I am fine with that.
There are a number of other companies that offer similar services. However, at the end of the day I think the simple solution is the one I will go with. In fact I went with it. It took me 15 minutes to setup one night and it now costs me literally pennies to backup my data.
Step One:
Download Jungle Disk. This nice little app makes it simple to send files to S3 and it is cheap - $20.
Step Two:
Get a key from Amazon. They'll want your credit card.
Step Three:
Tell jungle disk to automatically backup specific files to amazon.
The cool thing is that Jungle Disk is easy to use and will walk you through getting a key and setting up your backups. It also won't fill your temp drive with random crap.
