Online, Inexpensive and Secure Data Storage? 87

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday June 14, 2005 @02:20PM from the tired-of-digital-media dept.

ThePolkapunk asks: "After years of suffering through floppy demagnetizations, hard drive crashes, CDR bit rot and the click of death, I've become fed up with having to take care of my own backups. Does anyone know of a reasonably inexpensive, secure data storage facility accessible online that can store all of my important files with enough redundancy for me to feel safe?"

Compress everything, encrypt it, and share it on emule as "OSX_X86.iso.

For extra redundancy, post an obscure blog about it, and then submit that blog to /.
