A commercially viable automated backup solution for web design agencies using Amazon S3. Sweet!
For any small business there are a multitude of ways to backup data as part of a disaster recovery plan.
Unfortunately, each tends to have several drawbacks and quite often cost is a biggy. Server infrastructure, administrator skill, specialist hardware, co-location - all carry with them a big cost burden.
There are turnkey, quick fix solutions using file synchronisation services and such, or you can opt for a local system and take media home each day - but come one, are these genuine disaster recovery strategies?
Things were made a lot simpler when Amazon announced S3 and gave the world cheap as chips data storage in the cloud. Okay, so it’s a little techie to get to grips with but the folks at JungleDisk took the heavy lifting out and gave us a really neat way to use S3 for automated data backup.
Well they just went one better…

You read a lot of negativity around the blogosphere relating to Media Temple - so when evo decided to find a new hosting partner, we thought we’d find out for ourselves.
Over the years evo has partnered with 1and1 and HeartInternet to provide client hosting services.
Both have been exemplary and more recently Heart have demonstrated rock solid uptime and great customer service. However, our client’s are becoming more demanding, or rather our client’s websites are becoming more demanding and to work effectively we require a far more scaleable solution.
Our requirements are maximum uptime and speed, flexibility, complete control and rock solid scalability. If a client finds themselves lucky enough to appear on the front page of Digg - it’s our job to ensure their website can sustain the bludgeoning it will receive. If we fail to deliver a service capable of this the client loses out big time - which means so do we.
