What do i need to back up to a remote location.

Thread needs solution

Hi all,

I'm currently running B&R10 and would like to know if it can backup to a remote location over the internet. Or... If it can't, what would be required to do it.

Currently, i'm backing up my data to our local business server but i would also like to backup my data to a remote machine over the internet as well in case we get robbed or the place burns down.

Hello Nelsonm,

Thank you for bringing up this question. I will definitely help you with it.

At the moment the current version of our software does not support backing up to a remote location over the internet, except for backing up to an FTP server. You can try setting up a VPN connection and backup remotely using it, but from my experience, it is not a very reliable way of doing backups. Please check page 188 of our User Guide for additional information on how to backup to an FTP server.

We already have similar discussions going in the following threads, here and in this one.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.
