So, on a daily schedule, after a day, the previous backup hasn’t finished yet 🙂īig plus, I crossed my “downloadlimit” uploading 650GB on backup data 😦Īnd you have to pay extra for outbound network traffic, aka: to restore data you have to pay more… I know it says “failed”, one of the big issues with cloud storage is your upload speed… As I’m only a Belgian internet user, I’m stuck with a 5 mbit upload rate over adsl… So uploading 120GB takes forever… (forever being 2.5 days).

Install, configure, select data and you’re good to go! This app definitely impressed me! I don’t trust the file-history any more, so I’m looking around for other tools…Īnother service I’m testing on Azure is the Backup functionality. Having a “regular” interface to the cloud opens possibilities… But, bringing me back to my earlier point of having the right tool for the job… It’s SMB 3.0, so authentication, encryption and data integrity are handled by the protocol 🙂 (hey, you’re communicating over a public network, of-course you’ll need that!) \fileserver.onmicrosoft and you’re good to go! Basically it’s just an oldskool file server in an Azure datacenter… Meaning: accessible over smb 🙂 One of my last interests was backup up to Amazon’s Glacier service… But never took the actual step.Ī couple of months ago, a new “feature” was made available on Azure. In the past I’ve used the build-in Windows one… But that one failed terrible resulting in me losing a lot of pictures… 😦 I always figured, yeah, that’s the price of a physical disk you can keep forever…Īnyway, next issue, backup software… If someone can give me a tool that just actually works… PLEASE be my guest… I’ve been looking around for a good off-site backup for ages, but never found a “good” (read: cheap) one… If you look at cloud-hosted backup solutions such as backblaze, crashplan, …, you’re always going to spend more than $50 yearly… ( ) I hate backups, I really do… Even more than I hate printers 🙂īut, as recent happenings proved again, you definitely need one… Either being it for a virus or ransomware, or a failing hard disk, or even if you just delete something (why would you delete something?)
