ReadyNAS Vault : great but overpriced!
Hi! Just saw the ReadyNAS Vault announcement : great news! Something I definitely need to really secure my data as my PC backups are, indeed, copied on my ReadyNAS Duo but still in the same locatio...
From my point of view, I think it is important to keep in mind one of the key feature of ReadyNAS Vault, in order to keep comparisons on the fair side :
You keep your files secured directly from the ReadyNAS.
Meaning you don't have to maintain your computer ON, nor pay extras for eventually specific "Pro" offers (to backup local networked devices).
Meaning you save energy ($!) by letting your low-power consumption ReadyNAS doing the job, rather than having a PC consumming several hundred watts. Even more important when considering the several days needed to get your gigs of data backed up on the cloud due to low-to-moderate uplink bandwidth.
An Online Backup solution as implemented into the ReadyNAS is a set-and-forget solution, expected to be reliable due to controlled environement (developed/tested by Netgear) and this is really nice.
BUT still... ReadyNAS Vault offer prices are killing the story without any consideration of value. Or, is this offer dedicated to Pro/Corporate market?
Anyhow, the adoption rate will remain very very low.
