Inexpensive way to backup data



 I am using Linode.com as an inexpensive virtual server provider.  They 
provide me with a static IP and all the tools that I ever needed to 
operate the server.  I can not be more pleased with their operation. 
Recently, I was trying to rsync my home network data files with my 
server at Linode and I ran out of disk space.  I inquired to Linode 
about increasing my disk space indicating that I need the least 
expensive method possible.  They directed me to the Amazon S3 AWS 
service.  They also provided a Howto to set up a cron job to do daily 
backups of my data files:  Here's a link to the howTo:
