The wires come out a small hole. Bolt the safe down to the slab floor with stainless steel hardware and weld the nuts to the bolts. or . . . Place another terastation in a colocation facility and replicate the data deltas between the two. The datacenter is most likey safer than the residential location but there is a probability that something would happen to one or the other. I repeat, there is no gimmick or business plan that can solve this for free. You have to do the work and you have to do it without cutting corners. Anybody who tells you they can do it for nothing or 10% of what the above solutions cost is a carpetbagger. IMHO. TO ALUN:

The developer has said on the site that the bugs that have been a problem for most mac users are fixed ... lets hope so :) . As a matter a fact there was just a new release yesterday (Friday 23rd) and I just downloaded going to try it later seems like it be the release I been waiting for. This might sound funny but I been using a few apps ... been testing stuff out. S3 Browser which is a great app but has its moments. Currently I am using S3Fox Organizer which is the S3 Extension. If you want to try it out version 0.3 is available here http://www.rjonna.com/ext/s3fox.php . I been using that though and it works pretty well can alter the ACL and it does "sync" folders automatically which is nice and it makes backing up folders much eaiser. I also I use the GRC Password generator to create bucket names https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm ... who is going to be able to access a 64+ hex character directory right? I know it seems like it could be more work then what you want but it works pretty well and if it isn't broke then why fix it right? Well if the latest JungleDisk is less buggy then I might use that one since it does do AES. I hope that helps you out. Dan -

My solution was to get a terastation from buffalo technology. Now I have 1.5 terabytes of raid level 5 protected storage. I have spare drives sitting on the shelf and when I get the email from the terastation that says the raid has gone critical, I slide in a new drive and keep going. Problem solved. Free and unlimited are gimmicks. Nuf said. When are folks going to understand that storage and power cost cold hard cash. My solution was to get a terastation from buffalo technology.

They gave me a free unlimited account (I don't have any ties with the company except for having an account with them) and I have uploaded about 5000 tracks on there. I stream my collection @ work and any other place I am on a computer. Not only that but I have my own S3 setup to keep a backup of my music which is cheaper then Bandwagon ... secured with MY key and under my full control. Hey Dan that’s the service I use.
