Re: [WISPA] Another online backup thread
We have RBS setup, the product as a whole is unrefined and cumbersome, but they do have some nice features. I haven't experimented with any other software, so I don't know what else is out there. Their BitBackup requires local storage of a database, so if you're backing up 50G of data for a customer, they better have an extra 50G of hard drive space for the local copy. We've just gone to selling them an external USB drive when they signup. As well as doing the initial dump to an external drive then copy it direct to the server when we get back to the office. -Kevin Neal -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Dylan Bouterse Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 1:59 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Another online backup thread IMO stay as far away from remote-backup.com's product as possible.

Re: [WISPA] Another online backup thread
Mike, I've been using it for three years. The only issues I have had is that from time to time a customers backup stops working. We have to go out, delete the backup parameters and create a new backup set. I've had customers recover data and it's worked great. One took almost 10 hours to recover the entire document structure on their server, she deleted it by mistake, but it worked. We take a backup off site from here as well to a safety deposit box each day. I'll drop off last nights backup copied to removable USB drives, pick up the drives from the box and copy tonights backup in the morning to the drives I exchanged. It's a data backup system, not a system backup utility. We use LoneTar on our linux systems - and have never tried to load RBS on a linux box David Hulsebus Portative Technologies, LLC www.portative.com Mike Hammett wrote: > I'm looking at remote-backup.com.

Re: [WISPA] Another online backup thread
Yeah, that too big to fail thing was a bit of a joke, but they probably have stronger fundamentals than Mozy. The only thing I like about off site storage is you could have a devastating disaster (fire, hurricane/tornado etc) and lose it all. Amazon's S3 is probably in a different geographical region so at least your data would be safe.

Re: [WISPA] Another online backup thread
Rsync =) works great got windows version available. Depending what your looking at doing. Just have the clients backup their documents or do complete machine backup for later restore (if the later then rsync is not it). / Eje -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Mike Hammett Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 2:40 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Another online backup thread I'm looking at remote-backup.com.

Re: [WISPA] Another online backup thread
While I believe Amazon will survive there is no such thing as too big to fail... Mike's own server ensures that as long as Mike is there, the data is there. I backup my servers to my own server for this reason in addition to the capability and locality of the data.

Re: [WISPA] Another online backup thread
Amazon's S3 service is very inexpensive and well done. There are many different clients out there which work with S3. I like Mozy but I think Amazon is more likely to be around in the long haul (too big to fail?). Greg On Feb 17, 2009, at 4:09 PM, Mike Hammett wrote: > I'm looking at remote-backup.com.

I use Cobian (use SFTP - SSL+FTP) and vsftpd for a $0 budget software solution. Cobian is an amazing program.

[WISPA] Another online backup thread
I'm looking at remote-backup.com. It seems to be what I'm looking for, but I'd like to know what other, similar options are out there. It must not be cumbersome for either myself or the client. It must have encryption at all levels (transport and storage). It must have sold online backup in mind, not an enterprise backup program. It must work on Windows clients, hopefully Linux clients too. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com WISPA Wants You!
