    Hello, does anyone knows of a backup service that has ftp access? I only need 1gb aprox, free or cheap if possible, thanks.

    Edit: I thought about using a free webhosting account from a trusted company, and use it for the backups but then i realized that most free hostings have limited the max file size in ftp uploads (and the files i'll need to backup are around 200-350mb, i'll use an autobackup system.)

    The problem is that i need ftp support to upload from a server, i can't install any software to upload the files, a client of mine has an important site, i make daily backups in the site's server and copy them also in another of my servers, but i need to make sure that in case of cracking or hardware failure i don't loss the data. That's why i'm looking for a thirdparty service.

    You can sign up a normal hosting account, just around $5-$10/month, then duplicate your data there. You even can have benefit of redundant dns, when using one in the current server, one in the new server. In case the current server has trouble, you can easily switch to the new server

    I found drivehq.com but it seems a bit slow.

    Pff drivehq doesn't works it seems that has max size limit per ftp upload because server's uploads stops always at around 40mb :/, nobody knows other service?
