Provides a good DIY cloud backup… Provides a good DIY cloud backup solution. Supports dozens of cloud service providers, file versioning, encryption, and does not leak meta data by encrypting file names (that last one is possible on some but not all clouds). The software is robust and easy to use. I have tested a half-dozen backup solutions and CloudBerry Backup is the most reliable, flexible and easy to use (compared to Duplicati and Arq for example).

Trying to convert to paid version but… Trying to convert to paid version but there seems to be no way of doing this. Later: Found where I was going wrong.

Excellent Crashplan Alternative I am currently on the 15-day trial with Cloudberry desktop backup for Windows and have been looking for a crashplan replacement with particular reference to compression, security (ransomware protection and transfer encryption protection built in) and having a choice of where to backup my data - cloud (Wasabi), NAS or USB. Cloudberry offers me more functionality than crashplan and at a very competitive price. I am using this for my small business and personal use to backup files automatically. The GUI is intuitive and user-friendly. The setup was quick and understandable. Pros: Choice of backup destinations. Security (ransomware protection and transfer encryption) Easy to set up and adjustment of configuration. User friendly GUI with great navigation. Competitive pricing and great support. Cons Mobile phone App to view and download your backup files. Emailed backup report to be more detailed.

Cloudberry backup seems to offer… Cloudberry backup seems to offer exactly what I'm looking for; utilizing cloud storage without a 3rd party service, remaining in control of my data, advanced options (types of backups, retention policies, a variety of cloud storage options). Only downside it that you need to spend a fair amount of time figuring out how to tune your backup plans to optimize cost to different use cases

Good DIY Backup Solution I have been evaluating CloudBerry Desktop Backup on a Windows 10 machine and a Linux (Mint 17.1) machine for about a week now. I am uploading to a Backblaze B2 account and have numerous backup plans uploading to a number of Backblaze buckets as well as doing some LAN backups to a local file server on our network. So far, everything has worked really well. I do wish the Linux version's feature set was as robust as the Windows version. With that being said though, both versions are adequately meeting my needs. For the few minor issues I have had Cloudberry's support has been very responsive and helpful. Would recommend.
