I just moved our CRM and email to the cloud and thus they are already getting backed up. &nbsp;I'd like to get away from the traditional tape back-ups I've used up to this point. &nbsp;I was just given a quote for an inhouse+cloud solution = 4TB Buffalo TeraStation for $569 plus online backup/ disaster recovery with CloudSafe for $299/ month.<br />

Does anyone have thoughts on a less expensive solution that might be a better fit?

New Back Up Solution for a small business

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
