Cloud services: Amazon versus ...

[Edward Ned Harvey]

What other cloud services are people using?  

 

I'm asking in general, for general knowledge.  But I'm also asking for a
specific reason right now.  Up till now, I've been doing my home backups by
periodically rotating a disk offsite.  I'd like to start doing backups over
the WAN instead.  I am aware of services such as mozy & crashplan, but
that's not what I want to use.  I specifically want to be able to "zfs
receive" on the remote end, which means I want to build my own personal
virtual solaris/opensolaris server.

 

Amazon is an option.  But I don't want to naively assume it's the best
option.

 

Thanks...
