How? Do I have to go to their premises with the 10TB of photos I want to backup? Do they even have a place in PE?
 
Also, isn't it cheaper to use google drive if you are softcapped at 99gb?
 
How does this work? Can I backup my whole server and it will create incremental backups after that? Or is this for files only?
 
It looks like a great product. My Dell computer comes with a Dell backup service which is cheaper than that (and automated) for the 80GB package, but comes in more for the 120GB package, which works for me as I don't have to auto-backup most of it.
 
The Service seems unnecessarily complex given that you can get the same for cheaper. The only benefit I can see here is that it is, unless I am mistaken, stored locally and therefore local legislation applies.
 
Cloud backup is great, but only if you have synchronous fiber.

It is extremely frustrating to backup data to the cloud via ADSL/VDSL and very expensive on 3G/LTE.
 
Similar pricing to what I currently use: https://www.code42.com/store/

Assuming it works, it has the advantage of being local so the initial seeded backup is practical, on the other hand crashplan lets me also backup to my office and friends for free...

If the software is done right it can handle the slow upload, it just takes a while... I backedup 400GB to crashplan over a dsl line, took a few months but it got there eventually.
 
AWS S3 works for me. I simply just don't trust (reliability not privacy) Vox with keeping my data safe.

Have about 25GB stored on S3 at the moment and it costs $0.81.

how do you use AWS for backups?

There are many 3rd party apps, similar to DropBox to store your files in S3. Glacier is even cheaper, but much slower to get data out of.

I have a 1TB Google Drive, it's $9.99 a month.

Should get a 1TB OneDrive account from Microsoft for $6.99 .. comes with a free Office 365 subscription (i.e. Microsoft Office package for desktop).
Google drive is Google Docs automation with Google Scripting.
iCloud drive is the priciest but sadly only way to have perma sync'd pics across ios/osx devices natively.

The MS onedrive is unlimited storage, they dropped the 1TB limit. The problem is that the Google Drive is integrated with a lot of my current workflows, from day to day work to automating NZB downloads. Not all of that supports OneDrive yet, when it does I will consider moving over.
