Anyone else using ASUS WebStorage service?

While looking for updates for my WHS addinns I came across this article: Add-in: ASUS WebStorage.

I have always been scared of keeping "precious" file back ups only in the house. Hell, one lightning strike and it can all be gone.

Anyways, after reading a couple of reviews, I said what the hell, I'll give it a try for 2 years for $80 or so bucks.

I was just about to buy a couple of 2TB drives for an rotating off site kind of backup. But the cloud approach looked simpler.

Turns out I am liking the setup. But I am wondering if I am doing the right thing because I did a search here at [H] and I dont seem to find anyone talking about it.

Anyone else using this or other similar services? Let me know your experiences and usage model.

Nope, I have it preinstalled on my hihihipici but I use Google (free 7.5GB), SkyDrive (free 25GB) and tried remoteonlinestorage too, would move to carbonite or rather backblaze if I had really big documents, but my "precious" docs are rather small, so between my local backups and these online solutions I'm happy enough.

I haven't checked if it exists, but I'd like a solution where I could regularly download my Google Docs to a local mirror, since most of my docs are online and I rely exclusively on Google for their safety, which is quite dangerous. Not that I had any problems with my email or docs for years.

Forget about online storage if you don't have ultra high speed Internet, uploads kill my Internet connection each time.

Good point on the High Speed Internet.

The backup of my pictures folder has taken days and it is still uploading. Been a few days and it only uploaded 15GB of 25GB.

Cant wait to see how long my home videos are going to take :-o

I guess I am not in a hurry so I am not too worried.

Also I am glad I did not accept my ISP "offer" to go to a cheaper plan with bandwidth limits. I pay a bit more but it is umlimited.
