Our Cloud Backup Plans in Detail

Shared Cloud (1 to 3 servers) are plans that up to three servers inside one organization may share.

Unlimited Cloud (4+ servers) may be shared throughout the same organization.

It’s Not Just About Cost per TB

Rather than just focusing entirely on cost per terabyte, don’t forget to consider the many advantages of our cloud backup offering: 100% fixed pricing, no hidden fees for accessing or restoring data, technical support and free consultations are included. Feel free to contact our technical support team and discuss your needs in detail. We’ll help you set up a cloud backup strategy that perfectly suits your needs and budget. Also note that we always assist customers with restoring data or seeding data as needed.
The benefits of choosing BackupChain as your cloud backup solution are too many to list here in full detail, simply contact our team for details and we’ll work with you to create a customized backup strategy plan.

Benefit: Storage is Compressed and Deduplicated

Please note that the above capacities, such as 2TB, are the total capacity of the account; however, the data is compressed, encrypted, and deduplicated before it is sent to your account and that dramatically reduces the storage usage. As a rule of thumb, the storage used is under 60% for regular documents. In other words, 100 GB of documents would usually require less than 60 GB storage space.

Available Discounts

Substantial discounts are available for two and three year plans.
Discounts are also available for non-profit and educational organizations.
Please contact sales for an accurate quote that suits your needs.

How to get started

Feel free to discuss your needs with our sales department. Payments are handled securely online. After arranging your cloud plan with our sales department, you will receive an invoice via email that can be paid securely online at your convenience.

Seeding and Recovery Options

We offer an offline seeding option where you send us your external drive with your encrypted data on it. You may choose to have it returned or we keep it in storage if you ever need a recovery disk sent back to you. A recovery disk is an external hard disk that contains all your data. It is shipped to you so you don’t have to download all your files over the internet. This is useful when your internet connection is relatively slow. The recovery option below includes the cost of a new recovery external hard drive and US postage.

What Kinds of Cloud Backup are Offered?

Use BackupChain as an affordable and efficient solution for a wide range of applications. These include, for example, Windows Server cloud backups, Windows PC cloud backups, file server, Hyper-V, VMware, VirtualBox, SQL, and Exchange Server cloud backups.

Hyper-V Cloud Backup

Use BackupChain to create local backups as well as cloud backups of your Hyper-V virtual machines. VHD and VHDX files are deduplicated before they are uploaded to save significant amounts of space (upwards of 80% per backup).

VMware Cloud Backup

If you are using a VMware product, such as VMware Workstation, your VMDKs are compressed and deduplicated to create an efficient backup chain in the cloud. Virtual machines are not paused when the backup tasks are processing your VMs, and the VMs are thus not affected in any way, making BackupChain the perfect VMware cloud backup solution.

File Server Cloud Backup

Create efficient cloud backups of your file servers with strong encryption and multiple, parallel uploads. Our proprietary server-side scan feature optimizes the transfer so that only new and altered files are sent over the wire, nothing else. The result? Very short backup cycles, even if your file server holds millions of folders.

SQL and Exchange Server Cloud Backup

Even if you are running a complicated server setup with multiple services, such as Microsoft SQL Server and Exchange Server, you can back them all up with BackupChain to the cloud. Our cloud accounts handle any size of database or virtual machine, so there are no limitations to worry about. The transfers are always deduplicated so that incremental backups are kept as small as possible.

VirtualBox Cloud Backup

Our platform offers VirtualBox Cloud Backup with the same benefits as for Hyper-V and VMware, whether local or remote or to the cloud. Benefit from fast compression, encryption, and deduplication of your VDIs. BackupChain’s features ensure that VMs keep running smoothly during backup, and uploads are kept as short as possible.

Disk Image Cloud Backup

Disk images created with BackupChain may be also backed up to the cloud for additional protection against local risks, such as ransomware, fire, theft, etc. Disk images are recommended for operating system disks to preserve the configuration and software packages on the server, whereas specialized tools should be used for virtual machines and databases, as described above.

Accessibility and Security

Cloud storage accessible via FTP and FTPS secure links, and mounted virtual drives using DriveMaker. We offer DriveMaker Plus free licenses for accessing your cloud storage via a mounted drive letter in Windows.

Save Storage Space and Minimize Backup Time

Efficient backup to the cloud is possible using BackupChain’s deduplication technology: Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, Hyper-V VMs, VMware VMs, and databases, are backed up with incremental deltas. This ensures minimal bandwidth and storage usage. File server folder structures are pre-scanned on the servers to optimize incremental backup process in the case of file server cloud backups.

Full Service Option: BackupChain Platinum License

Bundle our Platinum Edition with a cloud plan and receive a significant discount. Our full service offered to Platinum customers includes assistance in planning effective backup strategies, customized to suit the customer’s infrastructure, assistance in setting up backup tasks, monitoring backup systems, assistance in restoring data, and extended technical support hours even on holidays and weekends.

If assistance is needed, we are just a phone call away and ready to take action.

There are No Character or Path Length Limitations. Unlimited File Size, Indefinite File Versioning and Retention Periods are Supported

Our cloud systems do not impose any path length limitations and no character limit on the file name length, as BackupChain supports the Windows maximum of 32,767 Unicode file path length. You can also configure your cloud backups to create any imaginable file size that fits in your account (our software also supports resuming uploads and downloads if your internet connection breaks), and file versioning and cleanup can be also be configured to suit your needs. For example, as long as your cloud account is large enough, you could configure your cloud backups to keep all file versions, forever, even if the original file is deleted at some point.
