[AusNOG] Offsite Backup Recommendations

[Robert Hudson]

I hope you discovered the lack of recoverability as part of your testing
regime, rather than when you needed to recover as part of a DR event.

Untested backups are worthless. You simply must include regular testing as
part of your backup regime if you want any confidence that recovery is
possible when you really need it.

I currently have about 20TB backed up with Crashplan, in their Australian
datacentre. I've had no issues recovering data from them on multiple
occasions, including a big recovery back onto my NAS a few months ago.
Crashplan also lets you keep a local or remote copy of your backup data
yourself (and in fact lets you do so completely free).

Hey,



First time posting here… My boss has asked me to look into what cloud
providers they are in Australia to backup all our backups (Over 10tbs) to
after having a major disagreement with Crashplan after finding out when we
went to recover files that there was no files there to recover and they
will not explain why.



We have looked into probax.io but that’s a bit cost prohibitive



Any suggestions would be great
