It’s common to shop around for a better deal – better health cover, a cheaper mortgage rate – and the same is true for cloud storage. What might have been the ideal solution for your business twelve months ago may now not be today. So what if you want to switch where you store your cloud backups?

We often hear from clients that the feature set of BackupAssist ER makes it a cost-effective alternative to DRaaS solutions – with key features being able to cut downtime to just a few minutes by virtualizing the recovery on-premise, and to be able to fully recover from the cloud copy of the backup.

Using the D2D2C capability of BackupAssist ER is a great way to get your full system backups into the cloud. If you’re seeking the ultimate performance for backup or recovery, it’s worth noting that the speed of the CPU on the client machine can make a difference in high performance network environments. Here’s some pointers on how to get the most out of BackupAssist ER.
