Thanks Matt. That looks pretty good but it confirms the problem I've accidentally run into. I don't have an actual website that I need to run so I was just using my webspace as a file archive site. With the advent of half-decent image hosts like imgur and archive sites like dropbox I don't even really need it for that anymore.

So I was thinking I'd put it to use as a remote backup dump since it supported rsync. Come to find out despite all these webhosts supporting rsync and claiming "unlimited" storage space their ToS state you will not use it as a backup/file server. For that you have to go with a service specifically designed for backups like ElephantDrive.

I may just shut the whole thing down and go with Symform which gives you free cloud storage space when you donate your unused disk space to their cloud.

Yeah but their Acceptable Use Policy says the storage is for data directly related to your website not for personal backups. The 50GB backup storage means only 50GB of the unlimited storage is backed up by them. You could probably get away with doing it as long as you're not uploading many gigs/day or week consistently but I don't really want to risk surprise cancellation or fees...

Oh I stand corrected. Still won't work for me seeing as my photos directory is 75GB by itself...

I blame my wife DSLR and 2 years of her 1+ picture/day blog.

but that's my password
