![]() I have it running in a stripped-down Linux VM (2GB RAM, 2 "cores", 15GB disk thin-provisioned disk of which ~2GB is used) and it backs up 5TB of data across 4 ZFS volumes (shared as read-only via NFS) every night for $10/month. I've been using Crashplan Pro for years now (and the personal version before that) with no issues at all. I'm happy to invest in a proper cloud backup service, but I just figured if I already have the cloud storage, and the general means to automatically backup my computers to said cloud storage, why not just stick with what I already have, if it would work though? ![]() It's unlikely OneDrive is going to disappear as a service (it may change names), so it's a pretty good horse to bet on for longevity as far as services go. ![]() OneDrive gives me 1TB of cloud storage, of which I'm using 50GB, so plenty of room for backup images. I basically have daily snapshots of my machines captured across 4-5 backup images per computer, for my purposes that's enough. Is this effective as an off-site backup solution? Granted there's no software to look for changes to files in real-time, but I'm fine with that. I was looking into BackBlaze and Carbonite, Crashplan, and iDrive as well but now I'm thinking of just making a directory on my OneDrive account and syncing my backup images to that OD folder, so that I effectively have an off-site copy. That USB drive is my "unplug and run in case of fire". The backups are directly saved to my NAS, and I use HBS3 to sync that NAS directory of backup images to an external HDD over USB. Right now my backups are full + incremental backups with Macrium Reflect. ut they are in Taiwan, so let's use China to buy them.Hope it's OK to piggyback off of this thread as I'm in a similar situation looking for a good cloud backup solution.

Just release on some sort of schedule and have some sort of Apple event type where you cover from the CEO what is interesting in an interesting way, not some Project manager who is the personality of a pole. I keep buying stuff all day long and have to return 80 % off it. crises) and put up videos that we should learn some good Chinese to understand, well I give the company credit. If you are like me a relatively former IBM exec and cant find systems and components that change every day for no reason (see GM etc. QNAP just makes stuff all day long and the apps are awesome if you become a genius. Without this type of forum, we would be so lost. Just wanted to thank you and the other posts I read every day.
