Cloud backup for company server

[etherealfocus]

Running Windows Server 2008. Got about 40GB of essential stuff that needs good off-site backup and about 200GB that could stand to be backed up if it's cheap.

Right now I'm looking at box.com and JungleDisk ( https://www.jungledisk.com/business/server/pricing/ ) as primary options.

Hadn't heard of JungleDisk but it was recommended directly by a Rackspace rep when I asked about their cloud backup options, and their storage comes directly from Rackspace and Amazon.

What do you guys think? JungleDisk would be the cheaper option of course. Other options I should be looking at?

Not sure if they have server products but Crashplan and Carbonite could be good too.

This. I know crashplan does offer business products, though I don't know what's different about them vs the consumer products.

Back Blaze does offer IT Admins back up management for users and single machine.

FYI Backblaze doesn't offer a server backup plan. They only support the client operating systems in their Business plan: (XP, 7, etc.)

I'm a big fan of Backblaze & really wish they'd offer a server product.

I used JungleDisk years ago when Iron Mountain proved to be too expensive for a Real Estate company.

It worked well for them, but they did have to upgrade their ISP connection.

No matter what you chose, I recommend always doing a scheduled restoration once a year on a non-production box just to make sure it's working as expected.

I have set up many backup systems and so many times the client didn't know what they really needed to backup.

Iron Mountain is my go-to for anything serious. They're expensive, but they've pretty much got the document archival gig cornered and you get what you pay for whether its paper or digital. I've been burned by Carbonite before, went to pull about a gig of documents back off the backups only to find out that a serious portion of them were corrupted junk data. Not to mention the Carbonite client software is junk and would lock up frequently when trying to retrieve anything over a few hundred megs.

Acronis to Nas boxes. Take one box home. Easy and cheap. I trust no cloud.
