[AccessD] System Image Failure

[Rocky Smolin]

Being semi-retired I don't have the volume of backup you have. So it doesn't
need to be on line all the time. Monthly system image would do for me.  For
the daily stuff Google Drive is doing the job. So upload speed of a system
image is not a concern - just start the monthly image and let it run.  My
Norton Ghost total backup of the C: drive is about 88GB.

Backblaze -
Crashplan - about the same cost for the unlimited 1 month free? trial)
Spideroak for 2GB free 

Basic consideration -
Do you need the PC to be online at all times for the backup to work Can you
stop and start the facility manually and haver it 'catch-up' - or does it
have to be running from system startup

Encryption and facility to sync to other PC's - when they connect What
happens if a folder is removed from the list of 'stuff' to be backed-up How
is the backup to be managed

And - Speed of the backup as well as effect on the system of 'sync' if
there's a few large files to be backed-up.

It's about time I reassessed the options for cloud backup of my system - I
expect to be looking to include the folder where the OS partition backups
are placed That will be - an average of maybe 12GB a day for the main
working system during the busy weeks of the year.

For general off-site data backups I use BackBlaze. Runs continuously on my
system in background backing up *everything* I tell it to. For $5 a month
(yes five) as a personal user I get unlimited storage. I have a couple of
terra-bytes tucked away there.
