Buy some of this "unlimited" hosting!
Dude, check to be sure. 100TB is 1399$/mo ...... 24$ is for 1 TB
You might want to try windows server 2012 (with several hard drives)
I have around 9TB of storage (but around 11TB stored) with windows data deduplication.
Look further. it says "upto" for 10TB a month it would cost $212.49 / Month (50% Off)
Instead of crashplan / backblaze, I use LiveDrive.
Through "http://www.clouddrive.nl/pakketten" it has unlimited storage, but also unlimited computers, and costs: 3,95 euro per month, or 42,50 euro per year.
Are their servers located in the Netherlands?
@churchill Why are you wanting to drop BackBlaze?
No, based in London with cogent only.
(i use a knowhow 4TB account)
My experience with them is horrible. Their software randomly deletes 100s of GB of data and then spends a while backing it all up again.
Backblaze does not allow me to sync files from a SAN/NAS/NFS mount point, only USB and local disk. I 'cheated' and bought a 5 bay USB RAID drive and slapped 4TB disks in there, rsync'd my data across, and have that uploaded to Backblaze.
Hubic is a good start as their upload/download speeds are decent and they don't throttle. Throttling is the big thing with CrashPlan as they stick it to you hard after you reach a threshold. I want to avoid any company with a throttling engine built in and a crappy client that allows me to backup straight from NFS mount points.
Amazon services are ridiculously expensive over time, far more than the google plan which is not too terrible.
Hubric is looking like a decent provider with several options for me to explore and only $120/yr. I even looked at Baidu Cloud but I don't have a Chinese phone number to use.
I wouldn't mind paying $200/yr for something that's NOT in france.
I wonder if work will let me put in OwnCloud server to use...hmmm
@Churchill the reason they are throttling you is because the price you pay is not enough to cover their expenses for the service they are providing to you. They would gladly make you quit and move elsewhere, throttling is probably a way to give you a hint about this.
Backblaze does not throttle me and they charge $60/yr. Hubic doesn't throttle, from what I can read, and they charge $10/mo. Google and MS both are more expensive by a factor of 10 and don't throttle.
I understand WHY they do it, it's business not personal, hence my reason for unthrottled alternatives and my post on LET.
Mmh, never noticed that. Best feature was that the company is not located in the US, and the servers are in EU
@Churchill really $10/month for 10TB of storage is unrealistic. It doesn't cover even half the associated cost for providing such service. So while they might not throttle you initially, eventually they will find a way to get rid of you.
Since when? they had a 10Mbit limit didnt they.. (and you was lucky to get that)
If they did I'd like to know. I don't want to sit there and wait on upload speed limitations. I've seen reports of users with massive files hitting 80-100mb speeds without a problem.
London servers was a nice touch whilst I was using them but speeds still weren't best. I have a 100Mb/s upload.
I like that BackBlaze allows the use of private keys.
they might have changed it though.
I'm confused by what you mean. I assume gapps = Google Apps.
I don't see unlimited space here...what am I missing?
https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/drive/
Last I checked, BackBlaze doesn't support Linux or *BSD :-(
They support Apple which is good enough for me and my upload needs.
Linux clients are few and far between with most of these providers. Of course I'll now see a flood of people posting links to linux clients. Sigh...
Since months ago? For someone supposedly interested in hubic you're doing a surprisingly good job in not following any threads related to it, or reading news posted there.
Sure they do reserve the right to throttle in case your usage "affects other customers" or something like that, but the hard 10 Mbit limit is gone. Nevertheless despite reports that people successfully store TBs of data on there, I'm still a little in doubt on whether you can really use all the space and not have them make up some ToS violation or breach of some limits of "reasonable usage" by you.
They are located in the UK, also the company is UK. So no influance of the 'mighty' USA
I left them some time ago, hence my comment. i basically said this may have changed..
the UK is a puppet state lol. GCHQ is probably worse than the NSA. (the NSA actually has SOME boundaries)
I don't know if they're still doing it, but I got unlimited storage with just one account on Google Apps Unlimited. I currently have 2.5TB uploaded to it.
