TWO BLOKES AND A MIC!

A great episode regarding the use of data backups to protect your end users and your company's vital data. Most companies that lose their most important data due to hardware for services failure of some kind will struggle rebuild that data store of internal and customer facing content, which will very negatively impact the health and future of the company.

We make several suggestions below of currently available technologies and service providers to choose from. Please take a look and let us know if you have any questions.

=========

Datto 

IMO the best backup option out there.  Provides actual DR.  Virtual machines created as part of the backup process.  Failure? Spin up the that last backup which is just the same as turning on a VM! Amazing. There is now a direct to cloud option for Windows workstations.   We are waiting for them to offer this for Servers and Mac but as of now without thew on premise hardware (which is considerably more expensive) the only options for Mac and Servers is File only backup. https://www.datto.com  

Acronis 

One of the oldest and most trusted backup companies for imaged based backups.  Cloud offerings are a bit expensive. Otherwise golden. https://www.acronis.com  

Carbonite 

Again one of the oldest direct to cloud offerings.  Many offerings including HIPAA. Reporting needs more work. Can be inexpensive.  https://partners.carbonite.com/siliconvalleysystems  

iDrive Backup 

Solution based on size of your backups.  Right now giving a lot of space for a very low price. They even offer image based backups.  https://www.idrive.com/p=svsys  

iBackup  

Cloud based backup solution for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android devices. HIPAA, SOX, FINRA/SEC compliant. NOTE: We have not tried this one ourselves. We will do so and provide a review in another video shortly. https://www.ibackup.com/    

Crashplan 

File only backup option. No frills and decent price. Has a "Pro-E" Enterprise version for businesses. https://www.crashplan.com  

MozyPro File only backup option. No frills and decent price. https://www.mozypro.com  

Windows backup - new and improved! Traditionally was used as an on premise image based backup. Some of the new iterations now offer cloud based storage, typically to "One Drive". To be honest most people completely ignore this now as there are a huge number of options for backup and if it is used then it's in a secondary capacity.
