Hey folks,

I find myself in need of a new back up solution for my new server. I was using Backblaze but they do not support Server 2016 unless I go with their B2 Cloud option which looks like it can get pricey pretty quick. I have about 3TB worth of data that I need a backup of so I am looking for other options.

The current favourite is HubiC since the 10TB option is roughly the same price that I was paying for Backblaze but I am more than open to other suggestions.

Thanks!

Take a look at Veeam. There's free and paid for versions.

Online or local backup?

Sorry I should have mentioned that :D, online is what I am/was after. I am currently trying out Hubic and seeing how it goes which so far is pretty well, the works on the server OS just have to leave the server permanently logged in which isn't great but I have no idea how to get round that atm. 5 euros a month for 10TB storage :)

No idea if Veeam do cloud storage or not, in that case. I've only used it for local backup but it may provide a stop-gap backup solution for now.

Pricey it is but it is amazingly good in an on site disk to disk backup context. I can't tell you how many hours it has saved me being able to restore individual files/folders from a daily increment. Cloud wise no idea. Dabbled with AWS storage a few years ago and stuffing data up wasn't too expensive but actually retrieving it looked like it would cost a few bob
 
For Server OS and that size of backup I think Crashplan Business is the only real option.

There will be some budget ones out there, but much like Crashplan Home they will probably pull the plug at some point.

EDIT: To me encryption is pretty important, which would seem to exclude hubiC and others.
 
Duplicati can use Amazon cloud and one drive to back up to, the initial backup takes FOREVER though, I did 600gb to a NAS and it took about 72 hours.

After that though incremental backups only take about 15 minutes.
 
Thanks for the advice folks it is always most appreciated :) HubiC seems to working OK atm though not sure yet what happens when files are moved around in the folder that everything syncs from. I assume that it would just sort itself out eventually.

Currently got 955GB stored with them.

Complete thread necro I know but I didn't see the point in starting a new one...

OVH are the guys that run Hubic and they seem to not really support it at all or at the very least barely. So I thinking of switching to possibly Crashplan. Does anybody here still use them? I know they seemed pretty popular when the had the Home plan going so just curious.

Thanks folks and sorry again for the necro.
