Overall Satisfaction with AWS Backup
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.
