I believe S3 do accept hard drives in some situations (http://aws.amazon.com/importexport/) but that depends on cost- and time-effectiveness. I've just prodded Katie about the email, and she's looking into it now. Her excuse is that she's been ill (very true) and that nothing requiring intellect has been done. Indeed it would.

For people with serious amounts of data (I'm only syncing ~400 Meg probably) it would be quicker if the service took DVDs by post ("never underestimate the bandwidth of a Volvo full of DVDs" :-) ).

Just uploading 5400 photos (~4GiB) has so far been running continuously since shortly after I finished recovery on the evening of the 4th... with 800 still to go as of this moment.

We used to cross-backup between Annie's and my PC overnight but now we both use JD to push the diffs up to EC2. Seemless, works on Windows and Linux, zero effort and about $5 a month.
