For me it still is a technology/buisness plan problem. I may purchase another hard drive and rotate backups in the safe deposit box, it's just such a hassle to have to constantly go to the bank.įollow my storm chasing dont see it is a market stabilization problem. I already do proper back ups in addition to the primary drive, I have a set of DVDs onsite (updated about once a month to add new photos), another set of DVDs in a safe deposit box (also updated) and an external drive in a safe deposit box. I myself have everything I've done since 1987, and NOTHING since before that.
#BACKBLAZE RAISES PRICING BACKUP UPDATE#
Safe Deposit boxes are good, especially if you already have one!ĭo yourself a favor and get proper backups cooking, and update them regularly! And fire-safe effectiveness degrades surprisingly quickly over time. Firesafes are allowed to let papers become a bit crispy, which is hard on a hard-drive. In-house safes aren't that smart, because thieves could cart the whole thing away. I would never pay an online service to store what I could store myself. I work with computers for a living, and NEVER want to lose stuff, especially something that I spent my own time creating. And finally, I keep a flash drive, encrypted (see TrueCrypt) in my car's ash-tray containing my important stuff, like billing info & Quicken files. I do this, and keep a another disk in my car that I update monthly. Store each in a separate external location. My main advice would be to stay away from archival grade storage it can be made to work but the result not worth the effort.Buy a couple of large USB hard drives. Personally I happen to mostly backup to from local machines to a nas appliance which replicates the datastore (via Duplicacy copy) to Backblaze, but some machines (portables) backup you B2 directly - since I’m not around the storage appliance.
#BACKBLAZE RAISES PRICING BACKUP FREE#
The most popular one is Backblaze at $5/TB/month and you can get free egress through cloudflare but once you have more then 2TB then g-suite is the way to go. It will be effectively free.Īrchival storage is generally not suitable for backups and while it can work saving $15/year is definitely not worth the troubles. If you already have Existing storage available such as part of g-suite or office365 then use that. It is not cost effective to store small amount of data and 1TB is right on the threshold when most solutions are least optimal.
That cloud storage comparison is a screenshot of a source data for my very old blog post (2018) Cloud Storage Pricing | Trinkets, Odds, and Ends that was since updated here Cloud Storage Pricing, Revisited | Trinkets, Odds, and Ends and by now became obsolete again, but that screenshot seems to have taken on life of its own. Thank you for any details you can provide. I will try to find this explanation again but can someone enlighten me here? I’m about to do some speed test but still wondering if I schedule this first backup to run only nightly, or throttled through the day, can Duplicacy deal with failures or unfinished backups?Īnd lastly, somewhere on this forum I read that writing to a local repository before sending to cloud is a better practice. I recently got fiber and at this time I have 60Mb up. Can anyone comment on cost? I’m aiming to keep my cost down to <$45/year for 1TB storage (no access).
So my first question is somewhere on this forum I found this chart: Where did this come from? I’ve worked some s3 and Azure calculators and found that maybe Azure is in fact less expensive for what I’m trying to do. Nonetheless I will probably never need to access unless my house burns down (and since I’m in Northern California this is becoming a possibility almost every year). The other 15% is a mix of rarely changes, maybe 5% changes daily or weekly. Of this 1TB of data, approx 85% could be very cold (it never changes, I never access it).
I already have reliable lan backup but want a solution for complete disaster/recovery. I need to backup 1TB of data to cloud storage. My requirements include: minimal complexity, good support, storage agnostic, local encryption. I’m evaluating numerous cloud backup solutions.
