Cloud backups and Amazon S3 or other providers
Another try at this to see if Acronis might listen.
1) True Image is a pretty good backup solution. I use it a lot to produce local disk images.
2) My personal opinion is that Acronis Cloud backup does not come anywhere close to Crashplan, Amazon or even Dropbox in terms of cost and capability.
3) I have to use other products to take advantage of good cheap Cloud storage (Crashplan and Cloudberry Labs products).
4) I would continue to use True Image if it supported backups to third party Cloud Storage such as S3.
5) Im intending to drop True Image at the next renewal point if the company wont support alternative Cloud storage.
Come on Acronis - provide this support or give us unlimited cloud storage at the sorts of price points provided by Crashplan and Amazon!
Regards.

I completely agree with Geoff. The True Image software has been deliberately crippled to make it incompatible with alternative cloud-based storage solutions.
I would pay extra for the ability to select S3 as the destination for my backup.

We are backing up to another Cloud provider and have found that we cannot backup Acronis from a NAS to our provider. This seems to be a desperate attempt tp force Acronis users to The Acronis Cloud. Not gonna happen, we have too much invested to switch. As for just using Acronis to Cloud Backup Acronis, who woudl be do that? Just more work.
I'm evaluating Acronis now and I'm glad I found this issue before we inversted in software for 10 computers.
Acronis: I like your product, but I will have to buy another product when this evaluation runs out.

Hello Charles,
Thank you for your posting! Yes, unfortunately Acronis True Image does not support third-party Cloud storages. I've forwarded your feedback to our management.
