I need your opinion on this.

I have 300 GB of data and I need to make back up of it on a reliable file host with fast upload and download rates, minimal downtime and and the least incidence of failed transfer of files. I could consider megashares because it is very fast but then it lacks a multi-remote upload feature. Fileserve on the other hand is also fast but there's not a day that they don't have a server that's offline.

if you are uploading files that are legal, and only you will be downloading, and you only need for like one or 2 days (max 5) then how about demo.ovh.net
 
@fatfighter They're not exactly legal. But i will be the only one downloading. i need to store the files forever.

@newera rapidshare is not an option for me.
 
I'm thinking hotfile. Since not many people upload to hotfile anymore and i have a premium account with them, do you think my files will be safe on hotfile, considering i'll be the only one to download them?

x7.to is good for backup

netload is also best but removes file with in 2months if not get downloaded.

go for fileserve premium, u have option File Protector so that links will not get leech u can make ur links private

Is mediafire an option? I hear that to keep your files online you just need to login every once in a while (for free user). I dunno if they have remoteupload for free, I think its premium, but you could easily just signup for premium upload your stuff then login to keep your files alive as a free user.
 
Of course i will always go for premium because as said by me earlier i need to store files forever. i have ruled out fileserve because they always have servers that are offline
 
Whatever you do, don't use hotfile to keep backup. They leak their files to search engines which means there's a good chance your files will get reported and deleted even if you don't post them anywhere.

Rapidshare can change their policies at the drop of a hat. They also don't have a good reputation at storing files for any length of time.

x7.to and all such similar brands are scam. Don't use them. They provide no data security.

Megaupload offers a decent service for backing up your files but mind you all file hosters emphasize that their service isn't meant to be used as cloud backup and as such aren't liable if files are lost.

If its critical from your point of you view that you must never lose your files, use a cloud backup service like ADrive. They keep backups of all your files and never delete them.

no file host provides data security, u must keep perfect password for ur backup.

as he said that he need server up and download with great speeds.
x7 is good @ such things and having file protection.

But upload backup to filehosts @ ur own risk.
 
@Prazsky i signed up for a free account on adrive. i found out they don't have a simultaneous remote upload feature for multiple files and it says there i need to stay on the page until the transfer is complete. do their premium plans happen to have a multi-files remote upload feature?

@apples On that page it says both free and premium plans have remote upload feature but it was not indicated whether the premium plans can remote transfer simultaneous files at the same time.
