Offsite backup is the way to go if you want your data to outlive a flame , but it usually requires costly monthly subscription fee and bandwidth usage . Datto ’s Box2Box does not .
Datto’sprevious boxesconsisted of an on - site ( in your home / spot ) NAS that uploads its contents onto a server for safekeeping . This Box2Box consists of two boxes , one at your place and one at your admirer ’s , that synchronise between each other . This way there ’s no subscription fee for online computer storage , but you still have to transfer the files between the two box seat — a time - intensive task the first meter you do it over a line modem connective .
Although there ’s no subscription fee , you still have to give for the corner itself , and prices are quite high .
Two 250 GB boxes come at $ 620 , two 500 GB are $ 660 and two 1 TB are $ 850 . If you ’re somewhat familiar with Linux , you could build a cheap home brew rendering yourself , but for modest byplay that do n’t have much of an IT staff , it ’s not a bad choice . [ Datto ]
