For my first month of backups, I expected a bill of around $30. And it didn’t cost anything extra at all (I only had 32GB once I remembered to delete my old files folders). Considering that this is including a first-time upload that I won’t have in subsequent months, that was a pleasant suprise. I have loads of images and home movies, so it’s nice to get those backed up off-site in addition to my regular backups.

One fantastic feature is that OPENRSM CloudBackup has 256 bit AES Encryption for keeping your data safe. That’s what alot of government entities have to keep files safe and it’s about as tight a system as you’ll get for online backup. This means that your files, folders, videos, etc. arn’t going to be stolen. That’s just so hot it’s cool. And when you use it on multiple computers, it keeps each computers data totally seperated. And if you have to restore, just make sure to use the same system name on the rebuilt machine and CloudBackup will do the rest.

I’ve been so happy with OPENRSM CloudBackup as an application and a service. When doing backups, CPU usage has been minimal, and on my cable modem, web and email speeds haven’t been noticably different at all, if any. And it’s no problem at all to either adjust the bandwidth throttle or simply pause and resume my online backups.

The ability to use this on OS X, Windows and Linux has proven to be a godsend, allowing me to keep the number of solutions needed to maintain my home network and development projects low.
