How to Get 20GB of Amazon Cloud Storage for 89 Cents

[Robert Stratton]

Depending on your application it might be useful, but there are better ways to use Amazon S3. There's an outfit called jungledisk, which was bought by rackspace, who provide a backup service for Windows/Mac/Linux on top of S3. One of the things they did early on which won me over was publishing client source code so that you could always get your data out, even if their company tanked. 

You can set up your own S3 account and be billed directly by Amazon, and just pay Jungledisk for the software. They have a simple backup product, which does what the name says, and a desktop product which provides mountable drives with a cached update system to sync with the backend.
