Short Term fast Backup Storage Provider
Hello
I need to make a Backup of a Dedicated Server (ovh France) so I can reinstall and restore the files later.
My Current Backup Solution would not be fast enough for a quick up and download of all Data.
Requirements:
I only need the space for a couple of Days.
2TB Storage Capacity
Fast network speed to France ovh (min 100Mbit)
Easy to mount in Linux.
//EDIT:
Please no private offers.
Thanks for your help.
Brian

Ive got space on a box within the gra datacenter, make me an offer.
You might want to move your files to a separate partition and do reinstall. I believe OVH reinstaller does not zero out the disks, so you should be able to recover the data just by recovering the partition manually. Proceed with a caution though.
Thanks, but i want to clean everything.
How many days ? I have 4Tb spare space at online.net
Thanks Guys, but i would prefer a stable product from a Company.
I may possible need it again in future.
No problem. I was giving it for free
Good Luck hunting
If you're willing to spend a bit you could get an ARM server from OVH's SYS brand for a month. Their $16 ARM server has a 2TB disk and 250Mbps I believe? https://www.soyoustart.com/us/server-storage/
Edit: Nevermind, didn't see the wait time on setup for the ARM servers
Get hetzner, and cancel it before due date.
Prices i found:
DO: Droplet+2TB Storage 7.32$ / day
Scaleway: VC1 + 2TB 2.064$ / day
How about OVH one week rentals? https://www.ovh.ie/dedicated_servers/one-week-rental.xml
Yep, going with someone like DO or Vultr is what I would suggest in this case.
As you are going to need it only for a short time, this should give to the best flexibility and price-performance ration I guess.

2TB hourly billed, sums up to ~$1 per day. can't tell if new subscriptions are available though.
time4vps 2tb plan is 8 eur/month
Thanks, That would have been perfect, but sadly they don't take new subscribers
Hubic gives free 50GB, is that enough ? or you can buy more. Should be fast being from the same parent
Hubic is pretty much worthless..
Just came to my mind: What about the backup storage OVH itself provides? As far as I know, they come with 500GB by default - can't this be extended?
Yes but only 5TB for 48€/mo or 10TB for 72€/mo
Oh my, then forget about the suggestion!
I might be able to help you out on this, any specific date or time period in mind for this?
Again... it depends how much (in GB) data are we talking about. 1GB@10mbps isn't much slow but 1000GB@10mbps will certainly be a snail. Best bet would be a standby VPS
@mehargags:
;-)
missed that..
Have 5tb spare space on ovh gra on raid 5. Drop a PM for test it before buy
I had very similar needs a couple weeks ago - the best solution I came across was: https://www.hetzner.de/ot/hosting/storagebox/bx40 - 2TB for $9.90
I was maxing out my bandwidth transferring files to it from within hetzner (500mbps) as well as from kimsufi (100mbps)
Try the arm servers from soyoustart, they are cheap and fast.
