Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make it a habit to back stuff up. I want to use cheap "cloud storage" and multiple providers to be safe against failure of one service.
Currently (since about a month) I use the following two services:
- tarsnap (uses Amazon S3)
- livedrive.com FTP + duplicity
Tarsnap is usage based ($0.30 per GB) and livedrive is ~45€ a year for 100GB. Do you know of any similar services? I checked Windows Azure, but there are no bindings yet.
Thanks for your comments.

I use adrive.com sometimes it's flash based and you have to pay for ftp access but it has a good free account

I use rsync.net and am very happy with their services. I backup 3 VPS'es and the config's from my home computers to there.

Amazon's S3 service and Jungle Disk(Designed to work with S3 service and/or Rackspace's Cloud Service) is great.
Amazon's Pricing

$0.15 per GB-Month of storage used
Data Transfer
$0.10 per GB of data uploaded
$0.17 per GB of data downloaded

Thanks for your valuable input, guys.
genisis300: Unfortunately I can't use Flash from the cli and prices for FTP are higher than for livedrive.
fukawi2: rsync.net looks indeed very interesting, thanks for the tip.
jwwolf: That's a pretty good offer, too. (I didn't know about rackspace, it's even cheaper than amazon S3 EU if I'm not mistaken) Do you know if they have a cli application, too? How does their software work on Linux? (Debian Server + Arch Desktop)
