I haven't started using an s3 account yet, but I'm going to try it out
soon. I'ts been really hard to beat rsync to rsync.net who also uses
the scponly shell for their users.. It's nice being able to control how
I sync everything on my own terms, use svn, use unison, use rsync, all
over ssh. Lets not forget using MY OWN encryption instead of just
trusting all is well.
My main use of rsync.net is personal svn repositories and duplicity
backups (gpg encrypted tar files).
They also offer a geo-redundant storage solution. Whenever your file is
closed it duplicates it to one of their other sites. I'm sure Amazon
does a similar thing.. I know the rackspace cloud system works
similarly, however those are diversified between servers in it's own
low-latency cloud (distributed hash tables ftw) vs to servers in
different datacenters.
Food for thought. I'll try S3 soon.
