backup to Amazon S3 - Options?

MuGeN · 2 Jun 2009 at 16:04

I currently use JungleDisk, but recently there has been increased press about software such as Carbonit, Backblaze, Mozy and Twin

Anyone got any experience of these? never really liked JungleDisk for some reason and Twin especially looks excellent, plus it has MobileMe support...

what you reckon? still stick with JungleDisk?

Cant comment on any of those you've listed but I use dropbox and find it very good, and it works on px/mac/linux which is important for me.

I believe dropbox uses amazon s3 as well.

I have used Twin with my MobileMe account and it works well, although as you know MobileMe is painfully slow.

I've used Mozy for quite a long time. Software seems to work well and a fixed price so it doesn't matter how much you use it.

Very happy with it.

I use JungleDisk and am happy with it, but it does have a shocking UI. You get the impression that their team are very good technically, but the cross-platform layer slapped on top is icky.

maybe i should take this point onboard and just ignore the UI, the technical specs of a backup facility or in reality of course much more important...

i just prefer nice maccy cocoa apps

I would be very happy if JungleDiskMonitor got the well-designed Cocoa treatment
