<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Thanks, Matt. I guess that begs the question, does anyone have any experience - good or bad - with the professional backup services? We're a primarily Linux/Nexenta shop.</span><br>

I'm not 100% sold on the idea, because when I run the numbers it looks like it would take weeks to restore, say, 10 TB of data if we have to download it on our existing network links. The price of the bandwidth to get that to a couple days looks exorbitant.</div>

Does anyone know of a company that provides such a service?</div>
