Oh Boy, I've recommended DataDepositBox to clients and have several clients already using it, now I can't recommend it anymore as their current restore functionality SUCKS! They are working on a new version of the software that allows more control, but no release date yet.
http://www.datadepositbox.ca/ I am trying to restore about 45gb of data as they client has decided we are going to bring backups in house. There are approx 62k files and after 3 or 4 days it's only around 25k files restored. The biggest problem is that it has no automated functionality to skip errors. If an error pops up during restore it just waits for you to click ok and continue. Being that it seems there have been a bunch of files that were corrupt during backup, this is making the restore take a LOT longer since I can't sit and baby the restore process all day. I've also seen 3 different errors during restore Error 0 Error 3 Error 206 Error 0 is supposed to mean everything is okay Error 3 is supposed to mean path not found Error 206 is supposed to mean path to long With pretty much any standard PC Backup software, at a bare minimum it will tell you what the problem is, or have an easy way to find out what the errors mean. For the last day and a half I've been getting Error 0's on maybe a few dozen files one after the other, however it's taking like 5 minutes between errors so between not being here to babysit the system, a big chunk of restore time has been wasted. Also found out this morning when I call tech support about these issues, that they had some kind of hardware issue and many people could not do any restores during this period. Which is likely why I was getting error 0's all day yesterday. Enough of ranting, what online backup service do folks recommend, preferably Canadian based that has a good restore system? -- Harondel J.
