For one cent a month, Amazon Glacier stores your data for centuries
http://j.mp/NYn77z (ars technica)
"So today, Amazon introduced Glacier, a data archival service that will
store data for one penny per gigabyte per month. As befits its name,
Glacier is designed to last for a long time, but is slow: accessing
data will take three to five hours. Amazon hasn't detailed exactly
what technology is storing the data, but massive tape libraries are a
good bet given the lengthy retrieval windows. A ZDNet article
interprets one Amazon statement to mean that the company is actually
using "a multitude of high-capacity, low-cost discs," but this has not
been confirmed. We've asked Amazon for details and will update this
story if we receive an answer."
