Linode NextGen: RAM Upgrade

Re:Linode NextGen: RAM Upgrade by euroclydon on Tuesday April 09, 2013 @03:30PM (#5520562)

If you have a linode512 plan with backup, they will automatically upgrade your backup from the backup512 version to backup1024, which is $10/month, where the old was $5/month.

I'm sure it's a good deal all around, but it seems like a slight of hand to me: Linode, now with more RAM, AND more expansive backups for the same disk space.

I've just checked with linode - the backup price is shifting too, so the cost will not increase. They have not updated their FAQ yet.

--------------- Hello,

The backup prices are shifting just as the RAM prices shifted, so Linode 1GB backups are now $5, Linode 2GB is $10, and so on.

I hope this clears things up. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Regards, Jonathan --------------

I just checked with Linode support, and their backup pricing will be adjusted to match with the old rates as well. So if you’ve been paying $5/month for backup service, your price will stay the same post-migration.
