CrashPlan

[John Foundas]

Anyone using cloud storage for back up files? I'm getting a bit tired of triple redundant drives for File and Broll/projects.

Came across CrashPlan the other day. Upload takes a bit, but the system is very robust.
Its not an FTP, but you can share files with others in the plan.

Using CrashPlan as my third backup destination. Have about 3TB up there now. It took forever (months) until Cox internet gave me a giant speed boost of 10-20mbps upload. Love it because you have unlimited backup with any drive connected to your computer. But you will need a fast connection. Plus it's incremental so if you have issues with certain files, you can restore older versions. At the time I paid about $144 for 4 years of unlimited backup. I think it's gone up a bit since then.

I use it on my laptops. Haven't needed it to do a full restore yet, knock wood. That said, if I had to start from scratch I might go with one of these instead and avoid the ongoing subscription fees:
