Jungle Disk Mini-Review: offsite data storage
justice:
Thanks mouser. I added in a line or two to emphasize that JD does incremental backup by default, and block level incremental backup if you buy the JD Plus service, which also allows web access via Jungle Disk's website (doesn't require your pc to be on). Worth $1 a month for me.

the JD Plus service ... allows web access via Jungle Disk's website (doesn't require your pc to be on)

how do you mean "doesn't require your pc to be on" -
do you mean it makes your S3/Amazon account accessible from other pc's?
justice:
Yes, it makes your amazon account accessible from any pc via jungle disk's website as opposed to making your local jungle disk installation accessible over the the web if I understand correctly.

I'm just after installing Jungle Disk & opening an account with Amazon
Opening amazon a/c is a bit confusing -
I thought I was just signing up for S3 & was faced with a list of services with no S3 in sight till I figured it's "Amazon Simple Storage Service" (I presume!)
my question is
Anyone in Europe using American storage for S3 ?
-
The American storage is a lot cheaper but they do say that the European will give better performance in Europe..
If the American storage is atall passable I'll probably go with that cause I will be loading lots of GB's
although looking again it's 13c(US) more expensive per GB in Europe which wont break the bank...
edit/ corrected my sums
