Hi,

Can you provide a list of recommended backup providers? I am thinking of using backupsy.com, amazon s3, or google drive.

Have you noticed any speed differences for how long the backup will take? Like is amazon s3 faster than google drive?

Google drive is tempting me because it will also increase my email storage.

Hi,

What kind of backup are you planing to do ?
While google drive can be tempting, their API is limited and we can only push tar.gz full backups, without incremental backups & single file restores (you have to restore the whole account).

You can review backup destination features here -

We usually always recommend to use SSH destination for backups, it will be the fastest, and you could utilise all of JetBackup functionality.

From your list I'll go with Backupsy, but any VPS/Server with ssh will do.
OVH has some good deals also for storage servers, you can can huge space for about 50-70 euro a month.

Hope this information is useful :)

Thanks,
Eli.
