Mozy for backup is pretty cool
For a while I’d been using Amazon S3 with Jungle Disk as a backup solution of sorts. However Amazon changed the pricing model a bit a while back, and Jungle Disk doesn’t really play nicely with rsync based solutions like iBackup.app.
My friend Sutha told me about Mozy. It is a really nice solution for backup. I like the Mac client which has some of the features of iBackup.app but is way less complex. It has Growl integration and a menubar icon, etc, the usual stuff. What is cool is that you can get 2GB of free storage by signing up via https://mozy.com/registration/free?code=C88WPG. If you add my referral code C88WPG at the end of the sign up you get another free 256mb of space, and so do I.
I haven’t run out of space yet but if you do you can upgrade to unlimited storage for $4.95 a month. Oh and the whole thing is encrypted so it’s nice and secure.

Thanks Robert.
My wife is currently using it to get over 100gb of her photos backed up. Doing it for a living she shoots a lot of stuff and it’s making it pretty easy to keep safe. £2.50 is a small price for peace on mind I think.
Since we have a decent broadband connection we seem be able to backup a decent sized shoot in overnight without any problems.

I just signed up too.
I am using Flickr for photo backup. It’s like 25 USD/year (currently even more unbeatable with the strong Euro) and it gives me unlimited uploads and storage.
