“I expect S3-DR to provide Whitestone with significant cost savings over our previous DR solution. We run a small Windows Hyper-V environment (a few servers and a few TB of data). Much of the data is compressible and most of it doesn’t change on a regular basis, so S3-DR was a perfect fit. We run S3-DR each night, and it has no problem keeping up with the latest changes of the day. It’s also comforting that if I take checksums of the data I’m backing up and compare them with checksums of the restored data, they’re actually the same.” – Head of Whitestone IT
Learning Reinvented

“Long-term reliable preservation of client projects is critical to the success of my company. I’ve been using S3 Disaster Recovery for nearly a month now to backup my PC and the company’s NAS appliance (4 TB). It’s reassuring to know that my client’s data is secure and can be restored, if necessary. It also costs less than other backup services I’ve looked into.” – Patti Bryant, Founder

“I wrote S3 Doctor in a few days for myself and small businesses in need of such a solution after searching the web for a simple backup and disaster recovery tool that compressed and encrypted my data and could take advantage of AWS S3’s infrequent access storage tier. While I found many disaster recovery tools, I didn’t find a single one that worked that could do all of this that was free (or low cost) and relatively easy to use. I use S3-DR to backup my home Hyper-V server and I hope you find it helpful!” – Jason Stevens
