Looking for Online Backup solutions

CrashPlan has always listed the option to pay for a drive to be delivered. Never looked into it though.
Used to be just for the Home service, though.
And they recently raised their price. It's pricey now.

Really no matter what you try here with online only, you are going to have a massive initial seed time.
Not a major issue. We can set QoS. Colo has 100mpbs symmetrical WAN.

What do you mean by online?
Online only? Or a local backup that replicates online that you can access if the local backups are not available?
Online Only. This is an emergency solution for a colo we cannot get to right now and have other issues with at the moment.
There's about 60 or 70 VM's there but we can get away with just dealing with 6 or so of them at the moment.
What Hypervisor? Would WAN based replication be an option?
Vmware ESXi. Not sure what version off the top of my head. might be 5.5 update 3 on both the vcenter and esxi hosts.

Price looks the same to me.

Sorry...
I meant the restore-to-door service. I think it used to be sub $200. Now it costs $299.99.

Well if you can spin up ESXi someplace else you could run a Veeam trial package and use that to replicate. Not sure how long the trial for Veeam and trial for the other ESXi host last to get all the features. But that would be one way.

Looks like we will us Carbonite.. However these servers aren't well maintained (they came from a buy out of another company) and the install isn't going well. I've got 1TB just on one SQL server to backup though.

I've got a friend at Carbonite!

Backblaze has a business offering, and former SpiceLord Aaron McCormack works there as a sysadmin.
