Online backup for Hyper-V
Looking for an online backup solution suggestions for 2 VM hosts, needing about 10 TB of storage total.
One of my VMs is running exchange, if that matters.
I see Google drive has 10 TGB for $99 per month, but dunno if there are better options, not necessarily price wise, but geared specifically towards Hyper-V environments.

Does anyone know how to translate that pricing for Azure, or is there a certification for it?

I had an ibackup account & am currently backing up one VM, 538 GB.
It has been running for 11 hours & shows as 8% done.
Is backing up to the cloud even a viable alternative in my case?!?
Would a local NAS device & some alternating USB drives be sufficient?

I assumed you would have done the math and known your upload speed. If not, do it. The initial seeding can take days. Once up, replication (with Hyper-V replica) can be fairly quickly and reliable with an OK speed.

Yes, I'm 34 hrs in & at 56% & that's only one VM!
And yes, that's DAYS per VM. If you don't have a fast upload. Again, I assumed you would have done the math on this or you wouldn't be looking for a cloud solution. Cloud is great if you have the bandwidth. And trust the cloud vendor not to raise prices or something... (I don't like cloud for major things - you're too much at the mercy of the cloud vendor. But most people seem to think it's the greatest thing since the mouse.)

Went with the free Altaro for the moment, along with file backup with my ibackup account. Not perfect, but will work for now...
Thanks!
Thanks!
Storage Replica can be used between two sites with 5ms-7ms latency for synchronous storage replication or 7ms+ for asynchronous replication.
Azure Site Recovery is cloud based and works essentially out of the box with Azure.
Veeam CloudConnect (IIRC) is a third party product that does the same thing. StorageCraft also has a cloud backup setup with site recovery options.
