jungledisk_logo Are you backing up? You should be! If you’ve been looking for an affordable online backup storage space, you might want to give Jungle Disk a shot. This service lets you backup your computer to Amazon’s S3 storage platform quickly and easily.

Recently, Jungle Disk released version 2.0 of their software which debuted a brand-new UI which aims to make the setup of the service even more intuitive than it was before. The new version also now offers support for scheduling multiple backups and has improved performance for large directories and large cache sizes. A new "previous versions" feature lets you set minimum and maximum numbers of previous versions of select files and this option can be customized on a per-backup-job basis.

The pricing for Jungle Disk is very reasonable - you only pay for what you use - no minimum monthly fees or long-term commitment is required. There is a one time purchase fee of $20, but after that, the price for storage is $0.15 per GB and $.10 per GB of data uploaded and $0.17 per GB download. Upload and download requests are priced at $0.01 per 1000 uploads and $0.01 per 10,000 downloads. That’s darned cheap! There’s also an optional "Plus" service that lets you access your files from anywhere for only $1/month.
