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.

Complicated at first, but it works smoothly At first you have to learn how to use the software. But then you're protected. Really: CloudBerry protects your data and works seamlessly. And it doesn't cost that much.

This solution didn’t work for me This solution didn’t work for me, so I asked for a refund. They said no so I opened a dispute with PayPal and won. Then Andy contacts me and tells me “Filing a dispute is dishonest practice”, your business model is dishonest practice.

Great option for multiple backups Great option for multiple backups - using Backblaze (first 10gb free). Switched from Crashplan (closed for home users) and Acronis (didn't work properly). Very flexible.

Solid option with many backend storage options, probably best for small to medium shops. I replaced a previous solution that is dropping support for peer to peer backup. With peer to peer we can pre-seed a remote peer in the same city inexpensively as well as perform a fast recovery if needed. For more tactical backups we use peer to peer, and for more strategic backup we use one of the large cloud providers. Besides many backend storage options, there other many other good features like client side encryption, block level backup, and compression. The per client price is reasonable and it is well suited for SOHO and smaller shops. There is a centrally managed solution that relies on connecting to a cloudberry server. This should provide some upward scalability, but I have not explored this. Setup was straight forward providing your back end storage is already established. If you don't have a storage provider already, this of course will add time as that will have to also be setup before Cloudberry can be used. The interface could use some updating. The product functionality is beyond the scope of understanding for most people without an IT background, yet the interface feels like it's targeted for end users, who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had beginner mode, and an expert mode. For example, when editing an existing backup set, one has to go through a wizard like interface with many screens even if you are only changing one thing. The user is forced to keep clicking Next>Next>Next>Next>Next>Next> until you are finally able to save your changes. Experienced people rather have all the information on a screen or two and be able to quickly get the area they need to modify. I've only had one question and I emailed technical support. My question was addressed in less than 24h which is reasonable. I know there are higher levels of support for additional cost if you need faster response time.
