Hey everyone,
I'll be honest with you, I came here just looking for answeres to my question and then i'd leave. But I find this place to be quit helpful so I registered.
Anyway here is what is going on, I am intrested in starting a remote backup service to sell to local companys, here is what I think i'll offer.
I will of course offer the local software that backs up to my server, also I will have the web portal to retrieve file and see settings and so on,on top of that I will visit the location on the 1st and ending of every month and do norton ghost copy's of the hard drives in case of emergency I can buy a hard disc and reload the pc, and visit my colocation to burn there backup to disc for reload, when I reload the ghost image, to save the owner from re installing Os and software and drivers. All they would need to do is .. well nothing I think. By the time I leave site, they should in all reality have a pc in the same state as when the software last backed up.
And lastly, I will offer remote hands with "gotoassist . com " for ANY reasonable PC problem be it networking settings or be it local os setting issues, and of course my own backup software issues.
Everything will be included in the plan they pick, the plans will be based souly on the space they need, in wich I will visit locally and estimate for them to save them from over charging.
I plan to be completely honest in this venture, so on with the question's.
I am wanting to use backupagent . com mainly becouse there server software provides the best online portal look in my opinion and thats somthing i want my customers to apreciate.
I am also wondering what kind of bandwith I will generally need as Id like to colocate two servers, one for backup, and one for a replication server.
I would like opinions on the best software out there for this, I am aware of Rbs, Ahsay, Backupagent, novastore, but what one is the best looking/ functioning, and the price is a concern.
The last thing I can thing of is I would also like to offer file stirage like box . net or somthign similar.. any thoughts on software, I have searched far and wide for somthing, but have come up empty handed..
Sorry in advance for the long and dragging post, I'd love to hear your thoughts on anything here, advice, doubts anything..
And would anyone want to test after i'm running?
Thank's guys.
Curtis.
