Online Backup for WHS 2011

[Cliff Couser]

What online backup solutions are there for WHS 2011?

I'd prefer the applucation to be installed in WHS 2011 rather than on my workstation.

Also, my preference is to have the file stored on Amazon cloud.

Cloudberry and Jungle Disk seem like the most viable options, though Jungle Disk doesn't seem to officially support WHS2011.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Crashplan+ $50 a year unlimited. That will be far cheaper then using the Amazon cloud. If you have a friend and a lot of data you can seed an external drive and then backup to his PC. There are quite a few reviews and write-ups.

They don;t officially support it, but provide a guide on their site.

I have about 40Gb of files. Mostly RAW files.

I have been using an external USB to backup the files outside of the WHS 2011 box, but its in the same house, so really not a *real* backup solution.

Crashplan looks interesting.

Thanks!

how can you recover your server that you can not boot if you have online backup?

Not sure i understand your question?

if you have the files online, our server crashes, its a matter of 'logging in' your online backup account and downloading the files back into your rebuilt server.

Recovering the server installation is not something that matters to me, what matters are the files sitting 'in' the storage pools.

ahhh,ok
I have a headless setup with no DVD. So I store my backup on bootable usb drives so I can do auto recovery.

For WHS2011 backup online, you might need to find a way the map the online storage as a physical drive
