If you’re thinking of backing up your data to Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) via JungleDisk or CloudBerry Online Backup, Amazon has announced free uploads from now until June 30th, 2010. Previously, uploads to S3 (Simple Storage Service) were charged $0.10 per GB. You’ll still pay for storage ($0.15 per GB) but you’ll save on uploads.

You’ll also save if you’re storing more than 500 TB with S3, but that’s a lot of data – much more than most home-users will use.

JungleDisk and CloudBerry are online backup services which allow users to store their data with Amazon S3. JungleDisk charges $2 per month to use their software, while CloudBerry Online Backup retails for $29.99.
