Reliable, Affordable Online Backup Providers?

Posted by Cliff on Sunday January 11, 2004 @08:42AM from the data-in-a-vault dept.

rcn asks: "I am looking at online backup solutions for a variety of small and medium sized businesses. I read the most recent Slashdot discussion on online backup but there wasn't much talk about specific providers. The DIY methods of online backup (i.e. backup to a server in another office) aren't really practical in these cases. Security is more important than cost. They want their data secure under a mountain or 3000 miles away. I am overwhelmed by the variety of choices but am looking at Iron Mountain, LiveVault, and SwapDrive. Does anyone have experience with these providers, or others like them? What do pricing structures look like in the 30 to 100 gig range? How easy do they make it to manage backups? Can you backup from more than one machine to the same account?"

I am troubled by the types of postings that use the N* word as well as sexual refernces. Isn't there some moderation in these posts? That post should be deleted as it is highly offensive.

so it's ok to use the N* word, or sexual references, but not both?

Seriously though, that post will get moderated down when people feel like wasting their mod points on ask /. ... which tends to get less moderation than front page articles, for obvious reasons. People are idiots, deal with it.
