![]() ![]() Founded by David Friend and Jeff Flowers, formerly of Carbonite, Wasabi costs $0.0039 per gigabyte (GB) per month with a 1TB minimum. Going forward, customers of CloudBerry’s backup products can pick Wasabi as a storage target. It is unfortunate that it appears CloudBerry has done a lot of good work on the Backup side, but the Restore side was a complete disaster for me and extremely expensive mistake for an end-user.Cloud storage provider Wasabi and data protection specialist CloudBerry Lab have partnered to deliver high-performance cloud backup services to small and midsized businesses (SMBs) at a fraction of what it costs to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) storage. Its restore process is 100x times better than CloudBerry, BUT CloudBerry's backup function is VERY nice and VERY reliable. To be honest, FastGlacier gives users MUCH MUCH MUCH more important detail and control over the files and whats happening. Unfortunately, after working countless hours on this and now losing hundreds of $$'s by the day, I finally cut my losses and bought FastGlacier where I can actually do a folder comparison and find out what Im missing and can fill in the blanks that way. Upon checking Amazon Billing, it says Ive downloaded almost 3TB of data.more than $200 in data transfer charges.Yet I have 200GB restored on disk. After another 20 hours, I check and its strange.CloudBerry didn't resume where it left off.It started over.I let it run seeing if it will catch up.Fails again for no reason or explanation and as a user.You have no idea what CloudBerry is doing in the background.what file its actively getting where its resuming.Over the next several days this same process repeats. This CloudBerry staff have assured me it will resume where it left off. I start the restore process again.after about 30 hours it fails again saying 20,000 files had failed. Upon checking Amazon Billing, it says I now owe $25 in data transfer fees.Well thats strange, because I have no files restored from CloudBerry. No indication why, what it was doing in the background and I have no local files restored. At this point, I get an email saying the restore job failed. I wait another 12 hours while watching it apparently doing something but having no idea what. No problem, not an emergency.Īfter about 12 hours, my files start downloading but its not really clear what CloudBerry is doing. I setup a system to start the Restore and CloudBerry goes out to AmazonGlacier, gets the config and the latest inventory etc.Ī CloudBerry restore from Amazon Glacier can take 5-12 hours using the bulk rate. At this point, im estimating around $40.00 to restore all my data as the rate is about $.09 per GB from Amazon AWS. No problem, we have this backed up to AmazonGlacier. Well, we did have a catastrophic disaster and we lost all this data. The idea being that this data would be only restored in the case of house fire or catastrophic disaster at home. AmazonGlacier is great because I pay something around $2/month for 400GB of storage. ![]() I receive nice email notifications stating the back up worked, is reliable and has been working awesome. I have been backing up to Amazon Glacier from CloudBerry for around 3 years now and it works incredible. I will detail to you how this happened and how I fixed it. After 5 solid days of restoring data from Amazon Glacier, I owe Amazon nearly $200 in data transfer fees and still have an inconsistent restore state and missing 100GB of my files. I wanted to share an important experience I had recently with CloudBerry and AmazonGlacier that I think is really important for people to hear who are considering using these two technologies together. ![]()
