[AusNOG] Offsite Storage

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

We used CrashPlan at ${job-1}, and I was really impressed  We used the
offsite + local NAS option, local POP was nice, AU and NZ backed up to AU,
UK and IE backed up to US.  Their terms and condition suggest you "Can't"
backup from outside of their supported regions, but they never complained
about UK->US or NZ->AU.  I never had much of a reason to need to restore,
but two days after I left, they got hit by cryptolocker (and on a high
privilege user, managed to encrypt all .au shares, and one each of NZ and
IE shares as well)..   14 hours later and they were back up and running :)

We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
