Hi all, I'm looking at a new Cloud to Cloud backup as our existing option has doubled in price, from what I've seen Redstor and Barracuda are the two big ones. What do you all use and which would you recommend? Thanks

In these very challenging times we at Intelligence Hosting have had a little think about what we can do to help Schools\Colleges and you as IT staff. We know that backup can be something that is incredibly hard to manage at the best of times but working remotely makes it even more difficult. We know that Cloud Backup is something that is on a lot of Schools Strategic Plans but has always been out of reach due to budget or you just haven't had the time to look at what solution you require. With this in mind we have decided that we will offer 10TB of Veeam Cloud Connect Backup and Recovery Disk Space for 6 months completely free of charge, no obligation or contract lock ins... If you don't want to continue after the 6 months you can just cancel at that point or at any point over the 6 month period. This gives you the chance to cover all your backup needs, securely and efficiently then when everything comes back to normal you can make a confident decision if the system is value for money and something you want to continue before allocating finance. The Veeam Cloud Connect Backup and Recovery product is an industry standard solution and incredibly easy to configure and get up and running. If you are already a Veeam customer you simply connect your infrastructure by either installing Veeam Backup & Replication at your site(s), or using a Veeam Agent to connect stand-alone Servers or Workstations to our Off-Site Cloud Based Disk Repositories. You can then (or we can help you remotely) backup your data via a secure AES256bit SSL Encrypted Tunnel over the Internet. All your data is held in our secure Tier 3 Data Centre here in the UK. We can even connect and backup your full Microsoft Office 365 Organisation like Mailboxes, OneDrive and SharePoint, giving you a safe off-site archive of all your organisational data, safeguarding you from potential disaster in case your onsite backup infrastructure failed in the event of an outage, data loss or a ransomware attack. Don't worry if you are not a Veeam user, we can also look into licensing this temporarily for you so you can take advantage of this amazing offer which would ordinarily cost in th region of £1400 If you are in the education sector and would like to take advantage of this offer please get in touch on 0800612 5031, email [email protected] or visit IntelligenceHS.co.uk and we will get this up and running for you as soon as possible. Thanks

Hi all, Currently evaluating our backup options for our central google tenant. I will be installing a NAS box with active backup capabilities so that it covers on-site, but I was wondering what people use cloud wise for their backups? There seem to be so many options, acronis, backupify, afi, redstore, spanning, cubebackup etc etc. Can anyone offer any information on the above, preferably with pricing? I will be storing about 2.5 terabytes of data, and will probably only look to back up staff accounts and shared drives via the cloud due to costs. Thanks!

Interested to see who's using Veeam Cloud Connect currently and if there is there anyone considering moving in this direction in the near future for their off-site backups? Thanks

Morning all, We have recently setup a new network at three small PRU's and all their Shared Data is hosted in Sharepoint Online whilst their personal data on Onedrive. We also have a few VM's which host our Domain Controller and SIMS. What is everyone using to back these things up we are wanting to go cloud based ideally and have looked a Veam, Druva, and Arcserve but they all seem fairly pricey. Also interested if anyone is using like AWS, Azure etc and what clients they are using to upload to these. Thanks in advance. Dan

Hi all it's my first post on edgueek, so hello everyone! At the moment our school is in the middle of a big project, moving on prem to the cloud (sharepoint, teams, onedrive etc) as a result of this we need to think backups. What cloud backup solutions does everyone use? We've been looking into getting barracuda however the price is rather scary!
