2TB or so) that have more frequent updates and additions can go online via crashplan or backblaze or AWS or similar. I'll first separate out the volumes of data that are more or less archival, and maintain local and offsite copies (e.g. I was hoping for a no-pain, click it and forget it approach to handle everything, but with so much data compared to our company size, I think I will have to approach our disaster recovery plan several ways. I had done a fair bit of research, but wanted to find out what others had discovered. And if we have a disaster event that destroys all of my data and the remote data center as well, then I don't think data will mean much anyway. If both my local copies were destroyed by a disaster, I could lose a half-week's data and survive fine. two backup windows per week so it didn't always have to be online, I'd be interested. they don't backup your backup because you already do that, and maybe allow e.g. $5/Terabyte for online remote disaster recovery, with the clear understanding that they only keep one copy (possibly RAID mirrored), i.e. It is just a hard thing to find.Ĭorporate IT pros will understandably shake their heads at this, but if someone offered e.g. I really only need the one remote copy for disaster recovery, and can keep a local backup for the possibility of disk failure or an accident. Honestly, I don't need an online storage service with 3 copies of my data colocated around the world for safekeeping, and all the costs that go with it. I even looked into a climate controlled self-storage unit, but the issue would be the Internet connection (and possibly also electricity, unless it was situated right next to Panera Bread. I've resorted to paying someone to host an offsite NAS but I'd rather not mix my need to backup data with friendship. I personally have >10TB of data that I'd love stored but because it's personal data, I don't have that deep a pocket (and yes at $0.01 per month/GB that still adds up VERY quickly).
