Small business owners are being advised to invest in external hard drives to back up their data. Not only are they more cost-effective than tape drive systems, but they’re also incredibly easy to use – simply plug the hard drive into your computer’s USB port. But if you’re looking for a more comprehensive backup solution, there are plenty of options available. Acronis Cyber Backup software, for example, starts at $69.95 and offers a cloud version called Acronis Cyber Protect. Other popular options include MSP360, NAKIVO, Veeam, and Unitrends. As for cloud storage, IDrive Personal is currently the top performer, while Acronis True Image is a great alternative for power users. Prices for cloud backup storage vary depending on the provider, but on average you can expect to pay between $1 and $4 per GB per month.
