After downloading WinSCP, I created a .bat that I can run as a windows scheduled task.
My command.bat contains the following to lines:
@echo off
winscp /console /script=script.txt

and for my script.txt I wrote the following lines:

option batch on
option confirm off
open scp://[customernumber]:[password]@[customernumber].cloud.storage.gogrid.com
synchronize remote c:\DB Backup/DB/
synchronize remote c:\Inetpub Backup/Inetpub/
close
exit

Remember that if your password contains special charactors it should be URL encoded.
For the synchronize command I used the ‘remote’ parameter, so changes from the local directory are applied to the remote directory (which in my case is the Backup folder).

Here is the reference to WinSCP scripting: http://winscp.net/eng/docs/scripting

Hope someone find it helpful

Another thing: It would be great to seen some kind of best practices for using the cloud servers with storage, DB and load balancer – maybe on the blog or in the wiki?

Thanks for your good comments. Please find some answers below:

Question: So it’s competing directly with S3? Pricing structure of 15/mth for 110GB storage is attractive.
Answer: This release (v0.7) of Cloud Storage is not directly competitive with S3. The v1.0 release, however, will be much more of an apples-to-apples comparison.

Q: I have some questions though. S3 doesn’t support multiple-levels of folders but can it be done on your cloud storage?
A: Yes, you can create multiple directories and folders on GoGrid’s Cloud Storage allotment. This is something that S3 cannot do currently, I believe.

Q: Without API support (for now) means it can’t be used with any web app developed on gogrid clouds yet?
A: Cloud Storage can be used with any servers currently instantiated on your GoGrid Cloud infrastructure. It does require some manual configuration of routing and transfer protocols. An easy way to use Cloud Storage for web/app and database servers is to create cron jobs that run at any time intervals you choose which would utilize rsync or scp to copy any updated data over to your Cloud Storage allotment.

Q: Only way to get things done for now is uploading to cloud storage via FTP or Samba?
A: No, you can also use RSYNC or SCP. If you are running Windows, you can use cwrsync (with Cygwin) or WinSCP to transfer data to and from your Cloud Storage allotment. This is all documented on the GoGrid wiki.

Q: Anyway, the service sounds attractive and hover feature is cool. Maybe if you provide a way to edit server description and name, it will be much better.
A: This feature is on the roadmap for next year.

Thanks for your questions!

Question: So it’s competing directly with S3? Pricing structure of 15/mth for 110GB storage is attractive.
Answer: With this release, it is not directly competing with S3. The 1.0 release will be a closer apples to apples comparison though.

Q: I have some questions though. S3 doesn’t support multiple-levels of folders but can it be done on your cloud storage?
A: Yes, you can create multiple directories and folders on your Cloud Storage allotment. This, by the way, is something that I don’t believe you can do with S3.

I think these are great improvements. Now when can we expect server image cloning/backup?
