In regards to: <blockquote>I currently do many of the things you posted however have never seen the advantage of Amazon S3 over a VPS server. I currently have an unmanaged VPS with a large amount of excess disk space and bandwidth, and the provider does daily backups. It work out about a 3rd of the price of S3…am I missing something here?</blockquote> Your own VPS server starts with a monthly cost, might not be as secure as S3 and even with backups hardware failures can still occur - how long does it take to get in touch with the hosting company to restore the drive and do a backup restore? For me I like to have all my data on something unrelated to my VPS, and being on Amazon's architecture it's very secure (much more than just a password.. certs and then if you want your own encyprtion on top of that). The main point is it's cheap as hell! No reason not to use it.. you can't have too many backups either, maybe use both? @Ricky Mills – thanks for the comment. In regards to:

I won't be surprised to read that you're also a wanderlust and hardly stays in one place. It just makes perfect sense if only I have the same blazing connection.
