Online Storage Solutions for Home Users?

Posted by Cliff on from the replacing-tape-with-bandwidth dept.

A not-so-anonymous Anonymous Coward asks: "Like many Slashdot readers, I have accumulated a lot of data over the years. Emails, documents, 'media' etc. Although I try to keep up with backups, I still feel I need some other place where I could dump my data without worrying about hard drive crashes and other problems. Googling reveals that there is a whole slew of online storage providers. But most are around $10 a month with a couple of gigs of space. So what does Slashdot recommend for sites that offer plenty of storage and fit the budget of a poor home user?"

    I got about 40GB of unused space that you can transfer all your pr0n to, i'm sure that's what you meant by 'media' eh? :P

  3. DVD burner with offsite storage. by Bishop · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you are looking to backup data in the 5GB range a DVD burner is a good option. As required create and verify two discs. Store one disc locally and mail the second disc to your mother. You will gain the benefit of an offsite backup, and would it kill you to write a letter to your mother more often?
