One of the critical concepts in technology right now is the idea of a private cloud. When considering it as a backup solution you are dealing with a service solution that you have control over. There are many factors to consider when deciding whether to go down this path, and subsequently what sort of solution to turn. If your business is considering a cloud solution of any sort we urge you to give our latest white paper a quick glance as the concepts may aid in the decision making process.

Dis-Advantages of Trustyd Cloud Backup, You can't get any support!
Today is 5/8/2013 and I have been trying to get ahold of support for the last few days and now can't reach them at all. Not by Phone or email. Is this company going out of business? Does this company have any tech support people? I have an BRA unit that is down completely and can't get support on it.

Again, today is 5/20/2013 and my RBA (Remote Backup Appliance) is still down and talking with support is very slow at best.
It has been three weeks and I still cannot backup my Server or workstations. Matt
Here is a review I found on another site SpiceWorks.
We have had a 3x Systems(now Trustyd) backup appliance since November of 2010. I absolutely love the concept and when it works, it works well, but for us it frequently had issues. I have had to send back the appliance 2 times in 2 years and about a year ago they replaced the unit because they could not determine the issue. Less than a year later (April 2013), the until stopped responding and backing up. They gave me the option to send it in for them to attempt to recover it, but we decided to abandon the product and re-evaluate our needs. My belief is that backups should be monitored, but should also be a “set it and forget it” scenario. If you decide to use the RBA, I would suggest having another software package that will be able to perform backups to a network machine in native format, then backup that machine to the RBA. This way you will not find yourself in our position of having the backup data trapped in the RBA and not available for restores. Luckily we were still running tape backups in addition to the RBA. I recently sent our intention to discontinue the maint with Trustyd (formerly 3X), and I have had no response from them about my issues and concerns. I cannot recommend this type of customer service.

well I just discovered Trustyd is now out of business. At least if you have a working unit you can manually configure your RBS to use manual settings like host name/IP address. The only real pain is you'll have to manually set all the already established clients to use these new settings. if your like me and you have a dynamic ip from the ISP you can use DYNDNS or some other domain provider and set your trustyd box to use these settings.
