So to bump this thread again, with the threat of ransomware, we want to do something better with the cloud backup.

Crashplan and Backblaze both sound fine, but I'm thinking for backing up drive images for 20 business computers it wouldn't exactly be fun. We have a 30mbps upload connection, but it would still be too much. Unless we take the drive images, back them up to an external hard drive, and then back that specific hardware drive up once a month to a cloud service.

The concern of course is whether or not it is actually 'offsite' in such a way that the ransomware could not access it.

We do in house backups to the server, NAS box, plus off site to another NAS box. The drive images would not be super important because we could easily get the important information back and just install a new hard drive should any of our work stations be encrypted.

What is everyone else doing?
