Could I find away to take advantage of all that free storage to reduce my backup costs almost to nothing? What’s out there That got me wondering… There are a bunch of cloud storage / file sharing services on the Internet right now, and just about every one of them offers some amount of storage for free. Then I got an offer from AppSumo for 10GB of storage for life from LetsCrate for only $25. That was costing me on average a little under $5 per month in storage and transaction costs. Until recently I was backing up my data into a ReiserFS filesystem being stored in the Amazon S3 cloud via s3backer. That may have changed, and perhaps if I were less stubborn I’d pay CrashPlan a few bucks per month to back up my system, but I feel compelled to build my own backup infrastructure for three reasons: (1) I want complete control over it (2) I worry about a company backing up my data going belly-up and leaving me high and dry and (3) I’m a cheap bastard. Reason : No route to host.The last time I looked, there were no options I was happy with for backing up my Linux PC in the cloud for a reasonable price. These files will be included in the 'Files already present' count.

Every day, I get two emails like this, one from each Linux machine trying to back up.
