Best Online Backup for server

tech · 19-08-2017 08:59AM #1

HI

I have a server with approx 150 gig and need to get a good online backup solution to backup this data daily, also that will give me the option to restore back up to 1 month

Thanks

I always use AWS S3 for things like this.

HI

can you tell me more about this, how do you backup to AWS? do they provide software to upload / sync my data from the server there?

I just use the AWS CLI but there are loads of 3rd party apps you can also use.

Is it a VM
What OS is it. 2008, 2008 R2, etc//

Altaro is great for VMs, offsite with a local repo to spin back to,,,

You can do ASR or AWS, basically pay for blob storage using a 3rd party software.

We use Azure Backup. It's excellent. Especially the unfortunately named ARS, which allows you to replicate your server VMs to the cloud.

It is a storage service so not servers involved. You can access it via web or many cli options.

Here is a very simple example on how to sync "d:\folder" from local device to to your S3 location.

@echo off
aws configure set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP
aws configure set AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY 12345678901234567890
aws configure set default.region eu-west-1
aws s3 sync

\FOLDER s3://mys3location --delete --sse AES256
exit

cool thanks, how much would it cost for 200 gig and keep 30 days of change?

approx
Thanks

S3 costs between $0.0125 and $0.023 per GB per month so just x that by you 200GB

so between $2.50 and $4.60 per month + any incremental differences.

You will also have some basic request charges but these should be tiny.

+1 for Windows Azure. It's very good. We use it for Windows workstations too, just works.

Hi Mr G

can you tell me more about Azure ? I have 1 x physical server and about 150 gigs of data

With the demise of CP I'm in a similar boat. 2008R2 in home use, 850GB to push, no budget for SME pricing. S3 would be almost twice the price of CP.

Backblaze B2 might be a good option (paired with something like Cloudberry) - haven't personally used it yet but toying with trying it out for a couple of months out of sheer curiosity. Pricing is roughly 5$ per TB, from what I remember.
I'm using Backblaze personal backup at the moment - pushing files from various machines (desktop, laptop, phones etc.) to a server, and running the backblaze client from there. A little cumbersome, but works for me.

I've gone the route of 2 servers hyper v and with veeam replication and hourly and daily backup to a 48terabyte synology nas and I've ordered a second nas that I'll keep at home for offsite backup that will happen during the night. For our companies it was capex vs opex. A one off cost of about 2000 euro and some electricity, vs 1500 euro per year approx for what we needed.
