chaseman Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I have data which I want to store on an external server securely, which I as well can access after a long time period without ever touching the server. I think those free servers would not be a good choice for me since those accounts normally get deleted if one does not log in frequently enough. Using my shared server would as well be as well be bad choice since I find the CPanel not secure enough, AFAIK it does not even have a captcha after too many password entry tries, people could use a password cracker. I'm just wondering are there web services simply for storing files securely, which I could pay for a whole year or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 There are lots of backup services out there. If you are talking about something more interactive, you can in fact store anything "securely" in terms of using industrial strength public key/private key crypto. So long as noone ever gets your private key, there is noone in the world that will ever be able to decrypt your data even if they hack the server and download every file you've stored.

chaseman Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Do you have any good example? I searched the web but I did not like most of them. It does not have to be interactive, but an encryption with a secure log-in system sounds good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stooney Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Amazon S3 would probably work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Amazon S3 would probably work for you. Yes certainly. There are browser plugins you can find that make it fairly easy to move files into s3. In terms of a relatively low cost, pay in advance all you can eat backup service, I am currently using crashplan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
