Good Day,

We're paying about R3500 for 20GB online backup storage. It sounds expensive to me.

What do other pay for about the same storage space.

Thanks

You would pay R6.79 per month storing 20GB in S3 in the Ireland region..
 
What type of backup storage?

Backblaze is $6 per month - no size limit
 
Depends on the needs. Does the data need to be within compliance with GDPR or made ready in advance for POPI? Does your current backup plan (or service) include a managed layer of service?

Generally, the price for an acceptable backup product should be around ~R5 per GB which is ignoring bulk volume. For a premium backup service within South Africa, you should pay no more than R310 per month for 20 GB. This is without a managed layer.

This is what they charge
That looks like Irontree but according to that you should only be paying R310 per month. There are of course cheaper options but there's a good reason why Irontree is sitting at that price point. You can PM me I'm an Irontree reseller and can find out why you are paying so much.
