What is an affordable off-site backup and recovery solution?

Q. We are a small Commercial Real Estate firm that is looking for an affordable and dependable solution to backup our server off-site. We have 140 GB of information on our Windows 2003 server, but probably only need to backup about half of that so we will need a company that also allows us to select what we want to backup. I looked into companies like Iron Mountain, but they come in around $750/mo, which is far from affordable. Any suggestions?

    Look for a small Private Computer Tech that knows how to do those things and work out a till with them.

    I do that myself and only charge $100 a month for simply things like that, i got a friend of my that also only charges $80 a month.

    Its simply get that hard drive and back up all your information like e-mail and quick books. And just put it in that hard drive. Than every month just replace the same file with an updated back up.

    well at my work we use a small local company, and any company should let you selected what files you want to backup. Believe we pay 50 per server and then there is a fee per GB. $750/mo is far to much for what your use will be though. I’m backing up 6 servers and i forget how many GBs but we only pay about $400 a month

    $ 750/mo…

    Yes, you can find much more cheap solution.

    I am using mozy service for off site backup for more than 2 years, and is a good service. Are available a “home” and a “professional” service.

    Use the link below to try it for free earning 2.5 GB of free space:

    For unlimited space backup the cost is about $5/mo, if I remember. Check in the site for the updated costs.
