Evaluating OneDrive for Business to replace traditional end point backup
-
Scott's argument is that anyone can choose to rent hundreds of servers around the globe to create this geo-redundancy.
The question is, how many people would or can afford that?
-
Seems like it'd cost a lot more money to implement NC to be the same as what you get by default with OD.
-
I get a lot with OD for $99 a year. I think it'd cost a lot more money, time, labor to get the same from a do it myself NC implementation.
-
I get that with OD you don't get to choose to add more geo-redundancy or really anything else.
This though likely isn't a concern for 99.99% of businesses around the world.

I never dug into it, maybe I'm wrong, but it seems so anyways.

OD can make sense, when the price per user is low, this other options like NC become less to consider.
No need to buy servers and setup GR. It's already done for you.
But you have to work within the system you've rented.

How much capacity do you get from OD at that price? 1TB? 10TB? I have no idea.
-
At approximately $12/user you get 1TB/user

Anyone know what backups cost?

What I have gives you for O365 personal gives you 1tb per user, up to 5 users included, plus office suite and Skype minutes.

Yeah but you also get Exchange and a full Office Suite.
