[opensuse] SpiderOak now $12 for 1 TB of cloud backup
I just noticed SpiderOak has significantly dropped their price for cloud backup/sync storage. I've been paying $9 for 100GB. Nice to see I only jump to $12 when I fill that up.

Does look enticing, I've been easily fitting within my 105g (I use it to back up my source tree etc). If I ever filled a TB, I'd probably exceed my ISP's bandwidth allotment. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

John, Have you used their local backup copy option? I've got my 60 or so GB on half a dozen PCs, so I wouldn't ever need to do a full restore from the cloud. But if I started backing up 200GB+ of data, I would not replicate so widely on my machines. But doing a 200GB restore would take days (or longer). Having a local dedicated backup copy would make a lot of sense for me, but I'm curious how it would work. ie. Could I have 2 or 3 local USB drives that I rotated out so I'd have a fast disaster recovery copy in the case of a fire at the office, etc. Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You mean their Enterprise On Premise: https://spideroak.com/features/flexible-hosting No, I haven't, in fact, they didn't have that option when I signed up. The setup looks a little expensive. And they want to charge me for my own spinning rust!!! I do have a NAS that I back up everything to via scheduled tasks on the servers. (I use BRU). Monthly images compressed and stacked on the NAS. I keep multiple copies of those backups, stepping back many months. Between monthly backups I use versioning to SpiderOak, I can step back a long way or a little way. Since I have most of that stuff in multiple places, server, workstation, different programmers laptops, each of which are backed up to SpiderOak, I would have expected I'd use a lot of space. But the SpiderOak de-duplication keeps usage way lower than I expected. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, if you go to the settings, there is a "data" tab. At least with the new SpiderOakOne GUI client there is an option there to keep a local copy of all archived data blocks. You can either provide a local Folder or an FTP / SFTP server. I haven't tried it yet, but if I'm going to add any data to what I'm backing up, I'm thinking it would be smart. No value in having 100+ GB only available for restor from across the cloud.

I'll have to check that out. Haven't noticed that option before. Thanks for the heads up on that. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
