CloudBerry to Amazon for VM

What is the correct way to make an initial seed backup of a server to Amazon in preparation for a Disaster Recovery scenario where we would turn that backup into a VM accessible via RDP?

We'll make the initial backup to an external drive and send that drive to Amazon, then make very frequent online backups (i.e.every 30 minutes) so that the backup at Amazon stays up-to-date... then if/when needed, turn that backup into a VM.

Just not exactly sure of the options to choose using the CloudBerry Online Backup wizard...

Thanks...

We've sent our drive to AWS S3, and so far so good. We can even do a subsequent backup, pointing it to S3, and it recognizes that the original seed backup has been done and just creates a differential.

Storage Software

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.
