If you have over 200gb to back up like I do, it was backing up only a couple hundred mb(not gb) per day.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12432756305144066777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150431412877525081.post-78087580679015195102011-02-01T17:40:01.439-08:002011-02-01T17:40:01.439-08:00Crashplan actually has a 30 day trial - just insta...Crashplan actually has a 30 day trial - just install the software and crashplan+ automatically starts the trial.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686685648414001873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150431412877525081.post-59091757840496642152011-02-01T15:29:05.942-08:002011-02-01T15:29:05.942-08:00I used jungledisk for a while as well - but if we&...I used jungledisk for a while as well - but if we're looking to replace mozy unlimited, jungledisk doesn't cut it.

For me, this would be a wash in price costs however I would gain additional functionality over Mozy. With S3 I copy a file from my NAS or where ever to S3 and keep it.Edwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724577005304650681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150431412877525081.post-24276751122308238162011-02-01T13:57:14.992-08:002011-02-01T13:57:14.992-08:00make that CrashPlanmake that CrashPlanNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04713980381248816330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150431412877525081.post-56710773531153349162011-02-01T13:56:44.257-08:002011-02-01T13:56:44.257-08:00CrashPlay 15% discount:

They were unable to resolve the issue, but then again, the ISP I was hosting with was also unable to figure it out.
