Best Cloud Backup Service

Hi

I’m looking for a good cloud backup and restore service that doesn’t just backup files but provides a mirror image of a server that can be quickly restored, provides backup and restore of VMs and keeps backed data for up to 6-12 months. Looking at approx 2TB data backup.

I have read about Acronis 12.5, Backup Assist, Carbonite and a few others but still can’t make my mind up. I’m pushing more towards Acronis but it seems the most expensive.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks for the replies guys. Macrium Reflect, does this software allow an image to be created ? Never used it before. I've read in a few places that Acronis is much better now, although it is hugely expensive. I have had my doubts about cloud backups and restore for the reasons mentioned, looking at reviews on various websites, Acronis and a couple of others keep coming up with good reviews. The NAS box may well be the way to go though.

Macrium allows doing any number of things, including generating full and incremental images.

(Note that the Server version, unlike the home version, is not free.)

There's a 30-day free trial period, which should give enough time to decide whether it's what you want.
