The whole organization uses AWS Backup to ensure our important files are kept safe. It [has] saved my butt a few times with a few poorly chosen delete commands. Our cloud providers offers a backup solution but they don't guarantee the location of the data. A fire at their data center could result in the loss of our data, so we chose AWS for our offsite solution.
We also suffered a complete loss of data at our cloud providers and despite their best attempts to get the files back, we had to rely on our backups at AWS to get our services back up and running.
We've also implemented AWS [Backup] for a few of our customers looking for offsite backups.

- Redundant
- Offsite
- Upload and forget
- Easy retrieval
- Some parts of the user interface can be a bit daunting
- Redundancy
- Reliability
- Relative ease of use
- Offsite means a failure at our cloud provider means we can redeploy quickly to another data center or another provider quickly.
- The cost can't be best.
- Pay only for what you use. No need to pay for extra data that you don't need.
- No minimums
Linode requires a minimum data purchase for their S3 storage solution. While the convenience of being able to mount the drive directly is great, it isn't the best for small amounts of data for our different customers.
I initially tried there other backup solution but they couldn't guarantee where the data would be stored in relation to the server we were using. The risk being an incident in our near our server could result in the loss of our backup as well.

AWS Backup is used as the main backup solution for the core of our system (which is based on AWS infrastructure). AWS Backup is used mainly to back up our servers--and some important data--on regularly scheduled backups. This solution enables us to centralize and automate the backup of all of our AWS services (EBS volumes, EFS file systems, and databases).
- It does what it supposed to do--backs up data
- Almost a full solution to disaster recovery
- Integrates with AWS services
- 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)
- Integration with AWS infrastructure and services
- Centralized backup solution
- Dashboard to get backup status
- Fast integration with other AWS services (but you must learn how to use it)
- Reduced backup headache
- Decreased recovery time
- Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
The other method of backups we considered was a scheduled backup of important data to AWS S3 and manual backup of data to a third-party storage (local/other cloud service). It works, but it takes much more time than using AWS Backup. AWS Backup interfaces with AWS services, and as long as you use AWS services supported by AWS Backup, it might be the easiest solution to back up data.

- 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.
Well Microsoft Azure is cheaper but that said AWS has more hardware and software partners so that can give a real deep integration to your AWS files. Also AWS also has a lot more support option, and is older and more mature. That said AWS isn't as easy or as pretty as Microsoft Azure is. For people just starting out I would use Microsoft Azure.
