I’ve recently dumped Crashplan in favour of rclone, and a mix of providers. Sure, there’s no pretty GUI, but it just works and between unlimited Amazon Cloud Drive, Backblaze B2 and others I can be pretty sure that no matter what happens, my data can be recovered.
(Well, as long as I’ve got a working Internet connection… )
urBackup supports bare-metal restore. How cool is that? Just create an image of the workstation/laptop, and when disaster strikes, pop in the urBackup restore CD, select the image to restore, and you’re back in business… (barring Mr Murphy)…
This I will investigate at a later stage. The idea is to create an image of any new laptop/desktop system that arrives, or after an existing laptop/desktop is rebuilt, then store those images on a safe place, and when disaster strikes, you can just restore from the preconfigured images, and be going in a short time without faffing around with factory restores, removal of bloatware etc etc…
