I love Amazon S3.
If you didn’t know S3 is a great Amazon web service that allows you to backup online a large amounts of data and it’s interesting because it’s really really cheap.

About the author
Thanks so much for mentioning CloudBerry Explorer in your list!
We love S3 as well!
We’ve just launched RainStor (www.rainstor.com) an AWS-based archiving service for structured data (think databases, log files etc.) A client-side VM appliance compresses data by 40X then encrypts and uploads to S3. The service also includes full ODBC/JDBC SQL query access to the S3 data via an EC2 instance. Pricing is $1/G/month and includes all EC2 and S3 costs.
It’d be great if you could include us in any future list!
was a very nice sharing thanks
Thanks for the list!:)
Amazon S3 is really amazing. The S3 stat looks very promising. Ill soon buy my copy.
