Re: Back up to "web" (online storage)

Hi Frank, Sorry haven't a solution as me personally I see this 'backup over
the web' a very poor solution.

Firstly I would never want my data sitting on someone elses server, there
are also data protection issues. Businesses in UK have to comply with Data
Protecion Act and backing up over the web breaks this if there are any
customer / clients details included. In addition depending where backup
server is (US for example) you have to comply with their Data Protection
Laws also. Legal entity would be a nightmare.

Have you thought how long a 35GB backup would take ? Even if you got the
initial backup done then did incrementals that initial backup will take ages
assuming you have good connection at both ends.

More importantly though lets say server stolen, fire or rebuild required...
How long would it take to get data back down again before you can start the
rebuild ?

Just a few thoughts....

As anyone any experience or strategies \ applications\ batch files \ tips
for using NTBackup and storing the backup online

The server I am taliking about has about 20 GB data, 10GB exchange +
Windows + Systemstate so lets say the uncompressed size of the backup will
be around 35GB

What I am think off is backing up to a file and then upload that file to a
webspace. However I am unsure of the best tools for the job. (FTP?
Robocopy?)

BTW I am in the UK so any solutions must be workable from the UK
