    Just another reminder to backup because Amazon Glacier just came out.

    http://aws.amazon.com/glacier/

    Amazon S3 costs $0.125 per GB. Glacier costs $0.01 per GB. Anything that is on S3 for backup purposes that is rarely accessed should probably get moved to glacier to save 12x the moneys. If you are starting to back shit up just now, glacier is the way to go. Backing up a terabyte will cost you $10 a month.

    The price is GREAT, but they only provide an API. You have to write your own batch processing and/or user interface, or wait for somebody to make one and release it.

    All you people asking to learn programming. Here is something to do! It's very easy.

    I'm all about this shit. I need somewhere to back up the last thousand episodes or so of GeekNights. S3 was way to expensive for the raw masters.

    Well, this will still be expensive, just twelve times less expensive.

    That makes it close to reasonable. I might FLAC them down first and dump them up. In the very least, I'm putting all the mp3s up there.

    The difference between, say, $60 a month, and $6 a month, is massive.

    As a newbie sysadmin who is quickly getting pushed into a storage-centric role, I'm definitely going to be looking into this.

    Wow I might actually use this. Hell, the stuff I actually need to back up will probably end up costing less than $1 a month anyway.

    I will probably do this too. I have my Time Machine backup running constantly, but it wouldn't hurt to have an extra backup of my Pro Tools sessions if it's only going to cost me about a dollar per month. I'm gonna need help with programming an interface, though.
