It is obvious to me as a Storage Industry Analyst, that even IT professionals, whose job it is to do back-up and DR, still find it challenging. In this case the initial first pass deals with a significant amount of capacity. Engineering the networking component to cater for that first pass is not cheap. And in this example without dedicated customer support things would not have worked out. The cloud back-up industry have several challenges ahead of it. Good luck with the progress to this customer! And we haven't even talked about testing the restore which is what it is all about. This blogger demonstrates just how much determination it takes for the IT savvy person to make cloud back-up work.

One of the things that I find is that few people are willing to do the mathematics you do up front concerning upload and download times with respect to cloud backup. I write more on this in the blog post http://www.unitrends.com/weblog/index.php/2010/03/21/does-your-backup-cloud-have-a-silver-lining/ I really like this post – will be referring to it.
