    Anyone use any cloud services to backup data - I'm thinking specifically photos and important documents - probably ~1TB.

    I've had a look here http://www.cloudstoragefinder.com/compare-specs/ and the companies seem decent but I don't like the word 'unlimited'. Generally, there is a fair usage policy which isn't clear. Of course a company that's not a new start would be preferential.

    Anyone use them and recommend someone?

    Rackspace is about 8p perGB per month and the best you can get in the UK

    I use them for our dedicated servers and cloud servers.

    How often are these docs/photos likely to change. For 1TB at ~£60+ per month on Rackspace you would be better buying a 2TB NAS drive (~£80-£100) and copying the data across and keeping it at another site (family/work). Encrypt when you copy across and the jobs a good one :)
