Online Data Backup Services and Methods… What’s Best?

Posted: May 5th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Online Backup | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »

Online Backup, what is the best service or method to use? I would like to collect some feedback as to what is the most popular online backup service for consumers and for businesses. A list of the top 5 in each category would be extremely useful. I have used Mozy in the past and am currently liking the clouds for online backup. I think data storage is going to be the next sudo real estate boom. Only 22% of business claim to have an online back up service in place. Strap on your seat belts and let’s see what this new “gold rush” will be like.

Use the cloud (a coud)? Amazon S3 Simple Storage Service! or Maybe Rackspace aka Mosso. Some service providers are using Vembu Storgrid an enterprise level online backup and storage solution.

Use a service like Mozy or IDrive?

Thanks to folks at Jungle Disk, (we are big fans) whom Rackspace bought; I like ot use Amazon S3 or Rackspace both are supported and work well. I have generated some income offering online backup as a service . First for the setup and then for ongoing monitoring. I have found it easy to set and use. What are you using. Let me know.
