Cloud Overview

At a high level, cloud backup providers fall into a few different camps. On one hand, you have those that store data in public clouds such as Amazon or Microsoft. On the other, you’ve got providers that maintain their own private cloud servers. Finally, there are a handful of companies that give you the choice of storing data in a public or a private cloud. When it comes to backup, there are pros and cons to each approach.

​

Private vs Public Cloud Backup

Private cloud backup vendors typically offer tech support as a part of their service. In contrast, if you run into a problem restoring data from the private cloud, you will likely be on the hook for tech support costs. Public cloud providers charge egress fees for transferring data in and out of their cloud. Backups in a private cloud get single vendor solution, so there’s no possibility for finger pointing between backup and cloud vendors. Plus, you are billed on a monthly basis (typically per seat), so costs are predictable. And, there are no data egress fees for restores.
