8TB Daily backup on a Super Budget ... ha
-
Sounds like a job for ioSafe.
-
The budget from the topic is $740.
Does ioSafe have anything in that range which could do this?

uuuuuh... no.
The ioSafe 1515+ with 20TB is close to $4,000

That's the wrong unit, though. The 214 is the right unit.

Even the 214 with disk is $1399.99 . . .

Try more like $6,000... just purchased one.

At some point the answer is... the budget is wrong.

That's what he's paying today - he never said that was his budget..

Not necessarily. You can do a meh job to stay in budget. That doesn't negate the value of the backup, just the level of actual protection.
-
Oh okay. Then $1500 might be a viable solution. Just have to talk ioSafe into different drives.
Or go without the fire proof box and go with a Synology 214 with 8TB drives.

No, at some point the budget would always be wrong. Maybe not necessarily in this case, but some level is always too little.

And he wants OFFSITE backup, no?
-
He says "I would prefer to stay away from cloud backups as the companies internet connection is metered and uploading 8TB of data every day would cost us a fortune."
But that's not the case. If you sent a seed drive to an offsite, and then just replicated the changes, it wouldn't be that bad.

Well, you don't know their change rate. If their change rate is 100 GB a day, and they are rate limited to 10 GB a day, that's a no go.

Right but the quote of can't upload 8TB a day" probably isn't accurate.

Not really, the client can't upload 8TB ever because their on a metered Internet service.

You're right it not, the OP even says that they don't backup all 8 TB every day later in the thread - which of course completely changes the discussion.

I'd have to assume if they were creating that much data per day, they'd be larger than a company that would have a $740 backup budget. (Though we have not determined that to even be the case.)
Would that be an accurate thing to assume, do you think/agree?

He contradicted himself. My guess is that it is a reasonable daily upload. Maybe a few hundred GB at most.

If you create 8TB of fresh data per day but only need the backup of that day's changes why would they worry about recovering it if they are "good" 24 hours later with it all being lost? All kinds of problems arise when we analyze how he is describing the problem.
