Taking Advantage of Free Cloud Storage for 3-2-1 Backup (Updated)
Even Backup guys need to practice and plan for good backup strategies. As a Microsoft Windows Home Server MVP and podcaster with the Home Server Show, you would think that of all people, I would have my backup plans documented well and in order. Well, I do, kind of. I have been running a bit loose lately and I thought it was time to tightening things up.
At home, I currently run a Windows Home Server (WHS) 2011 box with about 2TB of total storage space and 2 TB of storage to back those files up. I also backup everything to a ioSafe Solo (an external hard drive that is fire and water proof) that has the most important 1 TB of my data backed up as well. If there was ever a fire at my home, my data wouldn’t burn.
I will be moving my WHS and the data to the next version (Windows Server 2012 Essentials) some time in 2013 and I though now would be a good time get it all in the cloud for the migration. Why the cloud? First, I have been writing and updating a running post on Cloud Storage Options. Currently, cloud, or offsite data storage on someone else’s servers, is becoming more popular and inexpensive. There are at lease 20 companies with some kind of offering. You can get more details on it HERE.
