With Flickr I have to manually upload in batches. One thing Jungledisk has going for it is that you just start uploading that 30Gig folder and a month later it’s done.

I use JungleDisk as well, and tried to use it to backup some of my media, but gave up because it took such a long time. Your price comparison is what makes it seem more compelling for you to use Flickr for photos in my opinion. I'm considering S3 vs Flickr as a photo CDN on a personal project I'm planning. The issue of price and responsiveness is really important, obviously. Interfaces to use both are pretty good. I tested S3Fox for FTP-like uploads. Still not sure which to go with.

There are monthly bandwidth limits (I've never come close), but I think 30G might take a 2-3 months....

Especially when your talking about backups. What if they start limiting their storage space per user? Amazon's storage is afaik scaleable and not only for pictures. Important backups schould never depend on cost. After Flickr’s clumsy recent approach of censorship i wouldn’t trust them that much. Especially when your talking about backups.
