Has anyone had any experience with good backup servers?

    A few suggestions depending on how much storage do you need:

    Hetzner Storage Boxes: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box - @Hetzner_OL
    BuyVM slices: https://buyvm.net/block-storage-slabs/ - @Francisco
    Inception Hosting storage VPS: https://inceptionhosting.com/kvmstoragevps.html - @AnthonySmith
    LetBox Storage Boxes: http://www.letbox.com/page/storage - @key900
    UltraVPS Storage Specials: https://www.ultravps.eu/en/ - @UltraVPS

    and if you are looking for dedi's you can search at:

    If you want sensible answers define what you mean by backup servers.

    Basically storage servers for site backups.

    If you are only interested in backups, backblaze or wasabi may be a good option as well. They are cheap and you only pay what you store on them.

    storage servers for site backups.

    Add wishosting to that list - @exception0x876 does some good deals, pretty solid stuff IMO

    If you want to keep your data safe best backup is self-made. 1TB ARM server will cost you few USD but will help to save data.

    Use g-drive or cloud

    If you have good peering to Canada, give a try to Backblaze b2.

    Thank you for all the feedback. We have ordered a storage server which will hopefully suit us well.

  • taubintaubin Member

    Is there any way to be notified when storage slabs from @Francisco become available? I've been keeping an eye out.

  • CyberneticTitanCyberneticTitan Member

    SoYouStart ARM boxes are ok. Great for storing stuff; if you need it to do anything else (especially random-read/write dependency) look elsewhere.

    They're looking for "good" backup servers not the "cheapest".

    You mean backup server providers?
    I have Liteserver's OpenVZ storage since last BF; always give good performance whenever I bench it (stupid dd & network test).
    I will keep the service also because it has 6 digits IP address :sweat_smile:

    You might want to contact Francisco regarding this. He might be able to send you a notification.

    • Best in EU: ultravps.EU (ZFS integrity checked storage )
      (code in my sig gives 15% off the first 6mo for new signups)

    • Quite good Bulk storage in North America : wishosting US$ 9.99 for 1800GB in Canada.
      (includes OVH ddos protection)

    • for budget of 10Euro/mo and above, you should go with Hetzner StorageBox 2TB.

    • if you need just 100 or 200GB for strictly backup, InceptionHosting delivers for 13 to 25Eur/yr .

    What is a "core" at ultravps? Any idea? Any benchmark results?

    • for budget of 10Euro/mo and above, you should go with Hetzner StorageBox 2TB.

    Nice - but really only a (presumable good quality) storage solution. C14 is cheaper but less versatile.

    • if you need just 100 or 200GB for strictly backup, InceptionHosting delivers for 13 to 25Eur/yr .

    Locations?

    I'd like to add Prometeus. I have a TeraKVM with them (1 TB for about 9 or 10 €/mo). Offers a quite decent KVM plus an extra SSD too in either IT,Mil. or NL.

    Not their storage offer, rather the recent 4 core / 8 GB ram special

    decent enough I think - same task on a baremetal e3 1270 took just over 6 seconds, so within about 10%

    @uptime

    Thanks, I mean it, but a 4 core VPS is hardly a typical storage VPS.

    • Yes server4you is a well established and good provider. I had some dedis with them and was content. Plus they are quite cheap.

    • I don't know that "inxy" stuff but I know that buying directly at server4you is cheaper (just a bit but anyway).
