AWS Backup vs. HPE StoreOnce

There is a cost involved with data retrieval. AWS Backup is truly that, a backup. If you need to access this data on a regular basis, there are better options out there. For long term, just in case incremental backups, AWS [Backup] checks all the boxes. Just set it up, start your backups, and rest assured your data is safe.

If you are looking for a backup infrastructure which is efficient and compatible for both file system and block level backup, then HPE StoreOnce is a great choice. It's easy to configure and easy to manage. We didn't have to hire a separate storage expert to set up StoreOnce for us. The HPE team helped our system admins and it was a easy to configure.

• We really like the deduplication feature of HPE StoreOnce. It helps reduce storage footprint by 1:3 to 1:10 depending on type of files being stored.
• It's easy to manage files on HPE StoreOnce servers using command line options.
• We use Veeam Backup Server software to manage our backups on HPE StoreOnce.

• Not so easy to use
• A little pricey
• The backup is in the cloud; make sure to keep an offline backup (the problem of all of this kind of solution)

• Could be more user-friendly when deploying.
• Cost is as friendly as Pure Storage Array.

Support for AWS Backup is by Amazon itself so it is solid as always. If you have a business or higher level support plan you'll have no trouble getting engineers or other staff on the job to help you with whatever comes up.

We had couple of incidents so far and HPE support team was very proactive through the process until the incident was closed satisfactorily.

It was pretty smooth, at least smother that a Dell EMC Unity we set it up last week

Being an AWS service, AWS Backup integrates in a native way with other AWS services, providing an easy way to backup those services. Being able to create separate backup plans that meet specific business and regulatory compliance requirements provides us with capabilities to face auditing processes.

HPE StoreOnce is a great value for money.

• Being able to offer live hot storage in the cloud for production environments allows me to get more people in the creative space with vast demand for speed.
• Great integration with all my hardware, firewall and backup software was great.
• Being able to network path my files like a native drive to my computer from the cloud made the designer not complain so much able learning new stuff.

• While not completely eliminating tape, it has relegated the use of tape to monthly and annual backups for compliance. It has reduced the recurring expense of tape media.
• It has increased the length of the retention period because of its efficiency in storing backups.
• The online backup repositories are now replicated to the secondary datacenter, a capability not possible with tapes.
