Evault is the best.
It's also probably not a price tag he's willing to spend.

As horrible of an idea as this is…the provider best able to pull it off might
be Evault. They can do full backups to cloud, and for restores they can ship
you out a HDD with the data. They charge a premium though and you manage your
own encryption keys (good for security, but don’t lose it or you’re SOL).

I told him. He seems to think this is a good idea. The Internet connection
has (does occasionally) have issues that they installed a second line from a
different provider for just that reason. In a rural area here in Arizona.

Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Remote full computer backup to cloud
Does he have any idea how long a full backup to a cloud backup provider
takes? I'll bet he doesn't have fiber and has various speeds of
connectivity. It takes me weeks to dribble up a large backup.

Have a new client that wants to backup 15 computers, possibly to the
cloud. The cloud seems to be his preference right now. 7 computers are
in an office with the other 8 being laptops that rarely come into the
office. There is no server (Yeah I know), mix of Windows 7 Home and
Pro, Windows 8 and Pro, varying skill levels. They buy whatever fits
their fancy and price when something breaks. Hopefully I can get them
to see the value of consistency of hardware.
He wants to backup the whole computer, not just the business stuff. I
mentioned a small server or NAS device for the office but that still
leaves the laptops. They use a couple of 1TB USB drives in the office
now but there have been a few instances where they haven't worked
correctly between the different computers.
I'm currently looking at Carbonite, Mozy, Crashplan and Copy but they
all seem to just want to backup files and folders, not the whole drive
based on my first glance.
Anyone have any experience backing up remote computers they would like
to share while I research some more?
