Have you thought about the confidentiality aspects of putting your data in the cloud, especially if its under regulatory compliance ( PCI, HIPAA, Sox) if you haven't you might be getting yourself in a lot of hot water.

Amazon has some super high speed pipes linked to various centers for situations like this. (Called Direct Connect?). Not too familiar with it. I think connections as fast as 10Gbps. You could design your DR strategy around a data center supporting this. Mozy also supports shipping DVDs/Drives. There are also some solutions that allow you to 'spin-up' your backups at the cloud location on a VM. (Check out Unitrends. Veem?). Then, you don't have to download the backups. I put all my 'cloud' backups into the same remote data center I would restore to in a disaster. And some of that even gets backed up to the 'real' cloud (Amazon S3).

I have 498GB of data stored in the cloud that would take about six weeks to download. The "send me it on a USB drive" option that Ben mentioned is my DR choice :-) On 13 February 2013 17:27, Rod Trent <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Why would retrieval take that long?

Does backup to cloud even matter if the time to retrieve it spans 20+ hours? If I were to consider hosting a clients' backups at my location, where do I go to find what liabilities I need to worry about. Coincidentally the client in mind is a law firm of all places...
