It was for the “CloudBerry Backup for Linux Standard Edition” according to the email containing the license key I received. So, finally, you only have to pay if you plan to use the product for relatively large backups or if you need advanced features like encryption.įor this review, we’ve obtained a complimentary license. After that time, you will have to pay an extra 20% of the price for one more year of upgrades.įor what I understood, you can always use the “free license” to restore your data.
With a paid license you gain free access to all updates of the software for one year. So, if the license price is “one time fees” per computer- you have to add the storage price to estimate the total cost of ownership of that solution. Buying or renting the actual storage is up to you. Speaking of that, CloudBerry only provides the backup solution.
Independently of eventual storage limitations imposed by your storage provider. Those limitations are limits enforced by the software. But it raises at 5TO for the “Pro” version and is unlimited for the “Ultimate” version.
The Linux version is much less expensive than its Windows counterpart and even come as a “freeware” for personal use. But don’t panic: you won’t have to pay for that since there are free licenses available. But you will not be able to perform a backup until you’ve obtained a license. Getting CloudBerry Backup for LinuxĬloudBerry Backup for Linux can be freely downloaded from the editor website. Anyway, that’s how I would use it in “corporate” environment to manage backups on a server for example, or when working remotely through ssh.

The tool provides both a GUI and a CLI interface. It’s a solution provided by CloudBerry Lab for “corporate and personal use”. Today I will review the CloudBerry Backup for Linux.

When the process completes (you can monitor it in the Explorer status bar at the bottom of the window), you can retry the restore procedure through the Backup application or MSP portal. Note that it might affect your monthly AWS billing. Specify for how long you would like to keep the data temporarily retrieved back to the S3 Standard storage class and press “OK”. You can also check this article for more information on the procedure. Highlight it and in the context menu (right mouse button click) press the “Restore from Glacier” button: Navigate to the location of the backed-up data that you were attempting to restore (to an individual file or a directory).
Install the MSP360 Explorer application for Amazon S3 and activate a trial period. In such scenarios, a temporary retrieval of the objects or directories from the S3 Glacier storage class is required before reattempting the restore. However, if the backed-up objects were moved from S3 Standard storage class to S3 Glacier outside of the MSP360 Backup software or MSP portal tools, which is not recommended, a restore operation for that data might fail with “The operation is not valid for the object's storage class” error. The MSP360 Backup software and Managed Backup Service offer the data lifecycle management tools to safely relocate data initially backed-up to Amazon S3 Standard storage class to a colder storage class, such as S3 Glacier.ĭata lifecycle management window as seen in the MSP portal -> “Storage Accounts” tab:ĭata lifecycle management window as seen in the MSP360 Backup software (standalone edition) -> Tools -> “Lifecycle Policy” menu: #Temporary retrieval of backup data from the S3 Glacier storage class
