Official Google Enterprise Blog: Disaster Recovery by Google
- xenophanes 17y ago> To backup 25GB of data with synchronous replication a business may easily pay from $150 to $500+ in storage and maintenance costs- and that's per employee. Per year? Per month? Dollar numbers for maintenance, without a time period, have no meaning.
- ashishbharthi 17y agoI think Google meant per year here because Google apps product pricing is $50 per user per year which gives 25GB of space per user.
- halostatue 17y agoUm. No, that's likely per month. I work for an online backup provider; the industry price is up to about $5 per gigabyte month. I don't know our price list, but I'm also comfortable saying that rate based on looking for an online backup provider myself.
- boredguy8 17y agoThere's still not a way to recover from user errors like accidental deletion, which is a much more regular recovery activity where I work. And I don't know what he's talking about with "everything after that point is lost" -- if our mail stores went kaput, we'd still be able to queue mail for delivery when the stores come back online.
- cookiecaper 17y agoMy grandma deleted all of the emails from her gmail account because she thought that they were kept on the hard drive and she was getting a new computer. :(
