Cloud Backup 3 Sites Non VM

[cheekycharly]

Hi all, I was reading a previous thread on here regarding some cloud backup providers and could see a lot of talk on Wasabi. My scenario is different in that I am not looking to backup VM's just raw data from 3 DC/FS servers at 3sites. It would be a bonus if the backup solution also could do system image backup but that's not the main reason for it.

 

What providers of cloud backup would suit a site where the data backup is likely to be like the following...

 

Site 1 - 800GB

Site 2 - 500GB

Site 3 - 500GB

 

I would need space for a decent retention period say 3months+

 

Any advise is always appreciated!

 

Thanks.

We're currently using Redstor Pro to backup our Office 365 data and one onsite DC, all in one account.

 

In our case we're taking a system system state backup of a virtualised DC, but, the same software that does that will happily also do file and folder backups, and Windows Image Backups, to cloud.

In my opinion, there are two options:

 

1 - Use a pure cloud service provider. This category has many names, such as Carbonite, Acronis, and many others. Just Google the term "Cloud Backup Services".

 

2 - Use a private cloud - you run a server somewhere on the Internet and backup files from these 3 servers to that repository. For this, you could use products like Syncrify.

Thanks for the replies guys. They currently have an offsite backup service which we need to migrate away from hence the looking around.

 

It is a physical server which does Windows Image Backup everynight and then a cloud backup later on.

 

Im looking at Wasabi currently and then started looking at Idrive.

 

Idrives website seems a bit "offer, offer, offer" but does state 50% off for education use making it $400 a year for 2.5TB of storage.

 

 

Anyone used or heard of Idrive?

Just as an update to this I bombed Idrive off as the software was garbage and reached out to Axcient who over a period of a month still could not organize a sales call. Now im on trial with PeaSoup who have been fantastic so far.
