I'm looking for any input from anyone who has experiences using a cloud backup service which states they only back up the "changes of your files" to the cloud. I know from previous PUG conferences OpenEdge DB's don't de-dupe well. Has anyone had experiece with these companies that say they can de-dupe their data and send it to the cloud and you can recover your files as of that point in time? I see the process as follows: Do a probackup to a file, the backup file gets sent to the service who 1) store a local copy, 2) uploads only the changes since the last copy to the cloud, 3) allows you to recover copy from the cloud to new location or a cloud server. The IT department sees this working with all the windows files, exchange server, MSSQL databases etc. But I don't trust the process with everything I've heard and read about a Progress DB. Because all the extents of the DB change when you startup/shutdown, how are they only tracking the changes. Anyone using a service like this? What are your experiences. PS database is around 600Gig. Thanks for any info.
