I just created an account that I hope to use eventually. I'll post back here after a while. Also, do I get the BETA special? Wink

Can we use it without downloading the tool? Such as only using SFTP to backup from a server?

Absolutely! Use any tool you like. It's just storage.

Hello,

RemoteFS is a geo-distributed online storage solution meant for private, reliable remote storage of permanent and semi-permanent data. All data is replicated to at least three different datacenters and can survive the death of any two of them. We're ready to accept some beta users.

https://remotefs.com/

Data will be charged at ~0.5 mBTC USD (or 0.10 USD) per GB/month for 3x replication in datacenters in the US, Canada and Europe. You only pay for what you use, rounded up to the next gigabyte. Unused credits roll over to the next month.

But since we're in beta we won't charge people who join now and for three months after the release and your account will get a free 5GB forever.

Your storage space can be accessed with any SFTP client (such as WinSCP, Filezilla, sftp, etc.). More protocols coming later.

Protect your machine with safe, encrypted backups right now

1) Download the open source Duplicati tool (http://www.duplicati.com/)

2) Create a RemoteFS account (https://remotefs.com/)

3) Fire up Duplicati, create a new backup job and select your folders

4) Protect your backup with AES encryption and a password

5) Select "SSH based backups"

6) Enter "endpoint.remotefs.com" as the server, your email as the username and your RemoteFS password. Leave the folder empty for the default (root) folder.
