Hi Daniel,

All the data is stored here in Australia. Well we are syncing to an Australian IP Address.

Just wondering, what are the ramifications of using software/services from a US based/incorporated provider ?

Is your/your customer’s data subject to the Patriot Act and potentially accessible ?

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<http://probax.io> but that’s a bit cost prohibitive

Any suggestions would be great
