What is the best way to backup Dropbox for business to AWS?
-
Hi everybody, a company in which I work now rely on Dropbox for business for filesharing, and I manage a local machine (on-permise VM) that sync every files on Dropbox to its local storage. I take scheduled and verified backup of this machine with Veeam (it's a vSphere installation), but now I want to have another backup in the cloud, something like a digital vault for disaster recovery and archive purpose.
My natural choice is AWS S3/Glacier, but the transfer services like mover.io or cloudhq aren't cheap in any way… do you have any suggestion about that? Someone has experience in stuff like that?

So use a program locally to access the vault, mover.io and cloudhq aren't really meant for this sort of thing.
The one I've heard of before is Fast Glacier, from twit.tv KnowHow 105.

@travisdh1 unfortunately we have big issue with upload speed, so I prefer to backup everything directly from Dropbox, so a cloud service is a must in our case.

Only upload speed? You're doing better than we are then! Don't know that you're going to find a cost effective service for this, unless Dropbox can tie into Glacier itself somehow.

@travisdh1 Oh, download also, we are on a 4Mbit/s symmetric HDSL link

.I'd give my left leg for a 4mbit symmetric. Our two locations have 10mbit/1mbit and 768k/356k respectively.

Wow, so I think anything cloud-based is ruled out for you… HDSL is not cheap, we are planning for a dedicated 10/10 FTTH link, abou the same price.

Ruled out by available internet connection and owners, yep.
