How much are you storing for those $3.00/month? Sounds too good to be true :-)
We're currently just rsyncing our pictures and stuff at home to two 3TB USB-drives (one active and one at my parents' place; using LUKS and btrfs with compression, snapshots). But even after running deduplication, they're filling up (raw files …), so I'm always on the lookout for other options. Upgrading to 2x4TB is a bit expensive, but I haven't yet found anything that'll cost me less than that while still having client-side encryption and Linux support. E.g. tarsnap seems to be about $250/TB-month, http://jotta.no/ is unlimited but has no Linux/encryption support, and I never understood Glacier pricing :-)
(and it's really convenient to be able to just restore from a local USB drive instead of having to wait for the network, though of course it's less convenient not having backups when travelling …)
AWS storage with S3 is $0.03/GB/Month. I have probably around 20 Gigabytes, stored in Singapore and US-East, versioned back 2+ years + another 58 Gigabytes in Personal Photos Backed up on Amazon Singapore (which I really should move to Glacier). It's compressed when stored on S3, so total storage is only 54 Gigabytes on Amazon Singapore, and 12 Gigabytes on Amazon-East.
I shoot a ton of pictures with my SLR, but, at the same time, I don't shoot raw, my camera is an EOS 10D (6.3 megapixel resolution) and I'm hyper aggressive about deleting all but the top 5% of my shots each day. I may shoot 300 pictures and keep 10-15.
So, I guess the major difference is I'm backing up about 78 Gigabytes of Data (though 20 of which is in two locations).
