Those terms are quite different from Amazon's S3 <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/agreement/#3" rel="nofollow">Term, Termination and Suspension</a> provisions. At least with S3 there is some allowance for getting the data back out again, albeit with conditions of its own. Robin — thanks for checking into that.

It does seem to be satisfying them, though. That’s a good point; I’ll direct them to the TOS and see if they’ve considered everything. It does seem to be satisfying them, though.

I hadn't considered <a href="https://mozy.com/" rel="nofollow">Mozy</a> as a preservation solution. (I had always put it strictly in the "backup" category.) It would be worth taking a look at the terms-of-service to see what they guarantee. Thanks, Melissa. I hadn’t considered Mozy as a preservation solution.

Simple, convenient, relatively idiot-proof, and with the small amount of material they currently need backed up, free. I know of a small archives that’s doing all their backups on Mozy.
