I'm looking for some offsite-backup using my fibre broadband connection.<br>
<br>
Things I'm looking for -<br>
<br>
- UK based,<br>
- pay in UK sterling and not dollars,<br>
- linux compatible,<br>
- ability to restore easily, from 1 file to 100+,<br>
- can use a web interface, as well as command-line,<br>
- secure,<br>
- encrypted,<br>
- ability to 'block-buy', meaning I pay for 1 year and get a discount,<br>
- ability to backup through cron,<br>
- able to keep 3+ versions of backed up file,<br>
- can have unlimited storage, then I can backup my /home as well as<br>
possibly my /music,<br>
- /home currently about 250gb,<br>
- /music is about 857.97 gb.<br>
<br>
I've got a synology server for general backups, but now I'm looking for<br>
an offsite backup solution.<br>
<br>
So what do other folk use, and what would you recommend please?<br>
<br>
I've looked at amazon A3 - I don't understand their pricing structure,<br>
crashplan for business - US based and bills in dollars,<br>
safedatastorage - looks interesting, doesn't have prices quoted to get<br>
an idea of them, spideroak - US based and bills in dollars,<br>
backupvault - looks interesting but they don't seem to be able to cater<br>
for linux, ditto backblaze, ditto carbonite, elastichosts - complicated<br>
pricing, don't really understand it.<br>
<br>
So what do other folk use, and what would you recommend please?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
