With amazon I pay about a $1 a month for all the access, and I don't have to manage any extra hardware. It would be nice to do a backup to a local drive though, that would be a hell of a lot faster Yeah, the new features in Vista for backups are nice, but you still need to buy another drive to do the backups.

I noticed in Vista there is a built in feature to backup entire drives to another disk or network drive or DVD's too. It will do a nightly incremental backup too, meaning it only stores the changes from the last backup till now not the entire disk. The windows home server has some extra stuff that lets you access the backed up files from the internet and other PC's (I think) too. I'm not sure if it's exactly 1:1 on features you're getting with the amazon thing but it's still pretty interesting. Have you read about the windows home server?
