    Good Online Storage/Backup service

    Hi, I need good online storage service with unlimited space or at lest several TB's.
    I need remote upload to transfer data from my servers and web links to download data back to my servers if i need it .
    The only services i found is rapidshare, they cheap and have proven service.
    I don't need to pay 300-400 $ at month in some backup cloud to have the same and i don't need services like filesonic or wupload beacuse nobody know what they do next.
    Do you know any good and cheap online storage service like rapidshare ?

    If you are looking for a cheap solution, why not pay to have a second drive put into your dedicated server and just save backups on a different drive?

    If you are running windows on the server you could use BackBlaze.

    As i say it must be cheap. Additional several disk's to have few TB's of backup space is not cheap.

    depending on what DC you use, it may be cheaper for the one time fee of adding hard drives versus paying monthly for solutions if you look at the long run.

    Take a look at Hetzner's EX or SX servers (depending on how much storage you need).

    @MichelleH:
    I wouldn't call a 2nd drive a serious backup. Of course, it's better than nothing and eventually cheap. But if the PSU dies and kills the harddisks, such "backups" would be gone.

    True, but he said he was looking for a cheap option.. and depending on the DC it would be cheap, but as he stated what his DC offers it wouldn't work for him

    Kimsufi 2G range, and then add an external 2TB usb hdd.

    Kimsufi: €15
    HDD: €10 + €30 setup

    Total storage = 3TB
    Recurring cost = €25

    That is good but i need at least 25-30 TB and have something like 20 EUR per month. Still rapidshare seems to be only solution

    25 - 30 TB of space on 20 Euro a month? Good luck! That is several thousand dollars in hard drives.

    Nothing, rapidshare is NOT a backup service. Besides after megaupload fiasco, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets shut down just like megaupload did.

    All I can do is sigh on this one.
    "Good online storage/backup service"

    and "cheap"

    are a recipe for disaster.

    Sad thing is, OP is unlikely learn that common sense until such a disaster strike him. Even then, he is unlikely to learn.

    It doesn't matter how much you claim how important your data is. If it's not backed up, it's not important.

    I don't see this ending well. Services like RapidShare aren't meant for backups. There is a reason.

    I wouldn't trust any backup service less than say, $0.25 per G of storage. Anything less than that and I doubt they are legitimate backup services and/or going to stay in business long.

    Overall, if you like RapidShare so much, then use them. If finding an alternative to them is hard, There is a reason why...

    are you sure they wont just cut your account when you upload 25-30TB of data? and expect to be able to do that for 20€ ? seems insane..

    If you arent willing to pay more than 20Euros a month to host 20-30TB of data than you must not want anything reliable so I say go for Rapidshare. Since you arent listening to people who know what they are talking about maybe you'll have to see for yourself
