When comparing our cloud backup to other options, we note that our solution offers the fastest and easiest interface for configuring and managing backups. In SummaryĮach of the cloud backup platforms we have reviewed will power the demanding backup needs of nearly any business. This may be isolated to our own experience, but it is worth noting when considering the ease of use of each of these platforms. While user experience will always vary, in our experience CloudBerry was plagued with restoration failures and backup errors which their support team was unable to resolve. You can expect to spend a few days deploying backup agents and getting the backup process configured as you need.
Similar to R1Soft, CloudBerry is not incredibly difficult to setup but involves quite a few steps to get the system setup and configured with a cloud storage provider. This can get expensive depending on how many backup agents you need to deploy. This is another backup solution where you can save money on storage costs, but the per-device charge can be as high as a $149 one-time fee. Users can also backup to Amazon Glacier storage using R1Soft. The downside of this approach is that you would want to setup redundant storage nodes in off-site data centers as well, and these costs can become significant. This has the advantage of faster bare-metal restores as files could be transferred over a private network. Unlike ServerMania’s Cloud Backup, it is generally self-hosted in that a company would setup storage nodes using their own servers in a data center. One of the most popular cloud backup solutions is R1Soft.
Pros: Configure Locally Hosted Control Panel, Faster Bare Metal Restores on Private NetworkĬons: More complicated to setup and configure, increased per agent costs While storage costs are increased on our backup plans, this price encompasses a solution that has no additional costs for devices and involves much less management time. This is ideal if you have a large number of servers to backup. One of the major benefits of our Cloud Backup solution is the fact that there are no per-device licensing costs.
