network backup service providers
We currently have tapeback-up solution for backing up 10 workstations
and two file servers in small sized shop. Files consists of documents files and small mssql database, small mysql database. We want to explore the ways to back-up via online at night. Our full backup is about 50GB in size. We have raid5 local backup server for daily backup on site. The plan is to upload Friday's full snapshot onto network backup service over the weekend. We'll be using a cable modem with 10Mbit down / 3Mbits up. 10 Windows XP Pro clients and 2 Windows 2003 Servers. Can someone recommand any good network backup service provider? I am currently evaluating following service providers. 1. Intronis technologies http://www.intronis.com 2. evalut http://www.evault.com/small-business/ 3. ironmountain http://backup.ironmountain.com/ Paul |

That may have changed. My solution was to rent a vserver with ehoung space, which turned out to be cheaper. But I have significnatly lower requirements that you do. For your data-sitze, your upload will take soemthing like 50 hours, iv everything works smoothly. I would say that such an installation is only borderline functional. If your backup fails, you cannot halt everything and restart it. You might have to run for a full week without backup even to diagnose the problem. A better option is to invest into a professional tape drive, do your backup Thursday-Friday night and have an emplyee take the tape home. Much cheaper and much more resilient. Also there is considerable headroom, for example if you get a 200GB drive. With your internet connection, even 20GB more could mean that the backup cannot finish until Monday morning. Arno |

network backup service providers
The livevault service is great. www.livevault.com
But I use them for small remote offices which do not have databases, tape drives and people to manage both. We do not use them for exchange or databases because you really can't restore individual items, at least not yet. But I do like that their agents backup in real time as a snapshot so if a user deletes a file he just created today, we can restore it in just a couple minutes, and do so over the web from any internet connected computer. We have been a customer for a long time so we get a pretty good deal at $11.00 per GB per month by paying for the year in advance. Every year we renew and ask them to lower the price. We have only a 35GB plan but it's spread over three locations and six servers. We get an unlimited number of servers, by the way. LiveVault is now owned by Iron Mountain and if you call them direct they will probably want to charge a lot more. We use a reseller who helps us get a better price. A Google search should turn up some resellers, such as http://isc-support.com. "oktokie" wrote in message oups.com...
