Hi,
I don't need a storage solution. I want to keep my backup in my storage, I just need the backup software solution. Like as Acronis
Hello,
how many tb do you need?
Ah, I only read it now that you need a program, sorry
Acronis is your best choice for full server backup.
Do your servers have a control panel such as DA, cpanel, plesk, etc?
Grab one of our storage boxes, and transfer encrypted backups through SSH; https://pulsedmedia.com/storage-boxes.php
Quite easy to do full system backup with tar, piped to pigz (multithread compression) piped to gpg batch encryption and piped to target server.

It probably depends on which OS you are running on your dedicated server. If it's primarily Windows, then Acronis or Veeam works perfectly and could create disk image or ISO.
If it's Ubuntu/RHEL etc, you might need to identify folders that contain your data and backup them individually. I used Duplicacy for that, haven't find one that could take full backup without significantly impacting system (if anyone have one, please let me know)
I can share some methods I use often if you care to use a hands on approach:
tar czf - / | rsync --password-file=<(echo pass) -avz -e ssh - user@remote:/path/to/destination/backup.tar.gzI prefer the above method, and pipe to mail for confirmation
rsync -avz --password-file=<(echo pass) -e ssh / user@remote:/path/to/destinationHere are a few more......
dd if=/ | ssh -c arcfour user@remote "cat > /path/to/destination/backup.img"Hope this helps, All best
Which is the cheaper pricing or somo reseller that you could recommend for acronis?
If you want to use your own storage infrastructure in a flexible way, for instance with multiple backup copies, then Veeam is going to be the best answer. The free edition supports up to 10 machines or VMs.
Acronis really pushes you towards using a storage provider of some sort and doesn't offer great options to provide your own backup repositories (at least it didn't when I last checked a couple of years ago; please correct me if this has changed). However, I was impressed by their software and wide OS support.

A few months ago I tried it locally in an office, and it did allow you to put the repository where you wanted to save the information, the problem is that I feel that Acronis is very expensive, for example here in Latin America it is very expensive because they try to sell you storage from certain providers, they do not let you choose freely.
Yes, if I recall correctly, you can do this, but only for one location. You can't replicate the backup to multiple destinations (or repositories, as Veeam calls them).
Yes indeed. I found only a few providers who will sell a license only. Most sellers wants to make a killing on selling storage at prices far higher than I can get it elsewhere.
