Long term archival of jobs. Have you ever used those for that purpose?

Well, in OZ, but daughter has good pal who works for this lot. Pretty progressive/forward thinking. Not sure if your data crossing the big pond would be practical.   :undecided:  Also looks a bit big-end-of-town, but maybe that's just the testimonials. They may have fully scalable stuff.

Ah, nope. I'd think an Amazon S3 type of deal would be a sound investment and I know I've seen some utilities that work with those setups. Kind of drawing a blank right now though, sry.  :sad:

I heard about this really neat new thing called iCloud..... :sarcasm:

I hesitate to trust any cloud service for important info. Remember the big Microsoft server crash in 2006, I think. Or RIM's crash a couple of years ago.
I don't care how good the company is, shit happens.

Only cloud I use is dropbox to backup my pictures on my phone.

I'd rather have stories told than be telling stories of what I could have done.

The company wants long term archiving off-site. Yeah the off-site server could crash but a decent company should have redundancy built in so if that happens you still don't lose anything. I'm not talking about backing up a computer so we have backups of apps and emails and that garbage. Actual job archives. The company doesn't want to invest in the cost of the hardware to do it ourselves or the cost of maintaining the hardware/archives. Hence an online archive solution with a monthly fee.

Looking into the links posted earlier as well Rackspace.

I just realized one of our previous Sales types went to this place, and they have the kind of service you're after. Shit, I got nothing but time on my hands! I'll drop her a message & if you want to entertain the sales spiel I'll hook you two up. Sound good?

Finally went with Amazon S3. Couldn't beat the price @ $0.125 per gigabyte up to one terabyte (cheaper after you get past 1 TB). You can access your buckets using CyberDuck. Pretty easy. No automation unless you pay out the wazoo but it's not that big of a deal to manually upload what we want stored off-site.

Amen ditto2.

Rely on some distant stranger to secure & maintain your archives? In the end nothing good will come of it.
