I back up to my Moms mac mini. Deja - Dup will take an ip address and port. I had to mess with her dsl modem/router to get through it but it wasn't too hard.<div><br></div><div>I was just using a usb disk but my mom bought a new Mac (she'd been using Ubuntu for years on free hardware) and I wanted to get her on a backup schedule. I though I could have Apples backup software point to a PC at my house and then realized that I could do the same with my backups. </div><div><br></div><div>So we are protected from fire flood (she's on a hill) and wind but not a nuclear attack.<br><div><br></div><div>Amazon does look like a good deal if you don't have a friend willing to open a port to you. The pricing is a bit hard to understand but looks cheap. I backup 1.5 gig off my desktop and I think Amazons price works out to about .30 a month with .01 per query or update. So $3.65 for daily backups of .30 a month of data is only about another $3.60 per year. === $7.25 per year?? You cant beat that with a USB stick. Am I reading this right?</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://aws.amazon.com/s3/#pricing">http://aws.amazon.com/s3/#pricing</a></div><div><br></div><div>I set up some folks on Carbonite at $55 a year and actually that seems pretty reasonable. Except carbonite only caters to the dark side (closed side) of the world at the moment.</div><div><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div>Mark Wright</div><div><a href="mailto:m.perry.wright@gmail.com">m.perry.wright@gmail.com</a></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br><div><div>On Jun 16, 2010, at 8:47 AM, Scott Castaline wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">On 06/15/2010 10:15 PM, Mark Wright wrote:</div> <blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>I use in on Ubuntu 9.10.
