Ask HN: Secure, reliable data backup solution?
2 points by veyron on Jan 29, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments
I am looking for a solution to back up daily trade logs. These are VERY important. Normally I would print out and keep hardcopies, but there's way too much data for that, so I will have to maintain an all-digital backup.

It should be:

- Secure (encryption, physical security, etc)

- Reliable (hopefully >3x replication -- I currently maintain 3 copies on 3 separate devices)

- Accessible (I don't need instant access, but if I need to recall the entire database I should be able to get it within a week)

As far as price is concerned, nothing too egregious. To put a price point, lets say 2000/mo.



Get a few dedicated servers wherever you want and use Duplicity: https://grepular.com/Secure_Free_Incremental_and_Instant_Bac...


Maybe tarsnap?

You can do a write only key on the server and backup that way then keep the read and delete key off of that and use that only if you need to restore/check backups.

Depending on how much you are backing up it will probably be less than 2000/mo and it is hosted on s3 so there is quite a bit of reliability there.


S3 concerns me quite a bit ..


What concerns you about S3?


Reliability. Though that may have been other parts of AWS
