Using this software has been a great benefit since we keep our information backed daily so that in the event of any server failure we will be calm, also because all the files that we upload to the cloud through this software are kept extremely secure by the encryption provided by it that someone can access them without our approval is really impossible and that gives us peace of mind to be able to focus on other activities. Beyond that major issue, I've run into some glitches - but nothing that keeps me from using the software. The progress bars are not very helpful - you can't really see how much is waiting to be backed up and it's difficult to see how much is currently in the backup storage. On the other hand, they seem to be willing to release that limitation in exchange for a review, so that's okay. So $29 for the basic desktop version - but if you want to backup all those movies and music and home videos - the price goes up by 10x. You really have to search the website to even find this out - it's not described in the product specs. ![]() These days, with large media files, 1 TB is not so large. This is surprising at first because Cloudberry is not providing the storage! It is a purely arbitrary limitation that has nothing to do with software capabilities. I'm not thrilled that I need a license for every single machine I want to backup - but the real kicker is that there is a 1TB limit on cloud storage with all the editions except the very expensive Ultimate edition. Another issue for me is the business model. ![]() Hopefully, CB will improve version control. I've used crashplan in the past, which has abandoned its consumer market - but crashplan had excellent control of version saving so you could save more recent versions and less older versions - while always retaining some older backups in case you need to do a restore from an older period. CONSīackup version control could be improved. So far it looks like I'll be able to do it all with Cloudberry which is great, and in addition, combine local and cloud backup flexibly. ![]() I'm using it on WHS2011, where I've previously had to cobble together a mix of Windows server backup and 3rd party options. The server backup edition offers OS backup, system state backup and bare metal backup restore, which is really nice. Basically, if you want to choose your storage provider separately and are looking for a tool to access that storage, that can work with different providers and offers multiple backup sets, it seems like the best choice, at least in this price range. It's got some quirky elements, but I've been able to figure out how to do most things pretty easily. The interface is pretty good, at least compared to the competition. It will work with just about any cloud provider that you might need, including Backblaze B2. ![]() It's incredibly flexible in terms of configuration and storage options.
