According to what you posted, it seems like they will better implement the "recovery from Delicious" feature... Wow, amazing indeed!

According to what you posted, it seems like they will better implement the “recovery from Delicious” feature…

GMail is fine to keep a copy of a few files once in a while. But when say you are backing up a 100GB Linux server, you need a commercial grade program for <a href="http://www.secobackup.com/products-mysql.html" rel="nofollow">online backup, like secobackup</a> and a <a href="http://www.amazonaws.com" rel="nofollow">storage service that scales and is highly reliable, like amazon s3 </a>. I would also look at Skydrive, if it ever flies :) my 2c for what its worth.

The last paragraph there is an excellent prologue to your post... But why should it be safer, than, say, putting it all up on Gmail? just because it's paid? not sure that's enough, unless there is a very specific SLA.

There is no known case of data loss that was not caused by user or tool error (this is more than enough for me) 2. Amazon’s SLA for S3 doesn’t mention data loss, just the minimum amount of time they guarantee that the service will be available per year... (I wish they will change this) Excellent question Tzvika ;)
