I’ve been lacking on my own backups (at least the automated kind) and I’ve left my Mom hanging and not doing her backups. I never really been a fan of most of the “backup” solutions out there and the past few years. No DropBox is not really a true backup (and i don’t use it). iCloud is not a backup<\/a><\/p>\n You need a place to upload the data.<\/strong><\/p>\n There is Amazon S3, Azure, Google Cloud and so many more. I found a new vendor (new to me) called Wasabi.<\/a> They have a killer price point compared to all the others out there that I am aware of. Wasabi is $6.00 per Terabyte. Now the first Terabyte you have to pay for even if you don’t use the whole thing. For the few computers I need to backup I could be looking at $12.00 to $18.00 a month. This is cheap.<\/p>\n You need some software.<\/strong><\/p>\n The main requirement is it has to work with Wasabi<\/p>\n This could be harder because most good software costs a few bucks. I found CloudBacko<\/a> which is a consumer product of Ahsay<\/a> that a TON of MSP’s use for enterprise backup solutions. I found the software to work but I wasn’t a huge fan of the interface. It reminds me of Window 8 (ugh). It worked OK. I probably won’t test it further. I found a ton other software but meant for the Service Provider like myself or the company I work for but not what I was looking for.<\/p>\nWhat pieces do you need?<\/span><\/h3>\n
