- cperciva 18y agoYou mention that it's more expensive than JungleDisk No I don't. Tarsnap isn't more expensive than JungleDisk overall -- yes, the bandwidth and storage costs more, but tarsnap doesn't have per-request costs, a fixed monthly service charge, or an up-front cost for the software. For some people, tarsnap will be more expensive, certainly; but for many others tarsnap will be cheaper. you don't say why it's better Not in this blog post, no -- this post was about how tarsnap uses Amazon Web Services. :-) Details about why I think tarsnap is an amazingly superior backup system are at http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2008-11-10-tarsnap-public-beta.html http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2008-11-10-tarsnap-public-be...
