MSP360 (CloudBerry) Backup
Pros
- + Storage-agnostic: agents back up to S3, Azure, GCS, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, IDrive e2, OpenStack, local and NAS targets
- + Genuine free tier for personal use (5 TB cap) and flat per-device pricing from $19.99/yr
- + Backup depth: image-based and block-level backup, bare-metal restore, client-side encryption, Object Lock immutability
- + Breadth of coverage — Windows/macOS/Linux, SQL, Exchange, Hyper-V, VMware, Proxmox, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace
- + MSP-grade management: central web console, per-client monitoring, white-label, 24/7 support on the managed tier
Cons
- - Pricing architecture is genuinely confusing — multiple products, editions, per-edition data caps, VAT-exclusive display
- - Storage costs sit on top of the license bill and come from a separate cloud provider account in most setups
- - Support is forum-based on free and community tiers; 24/7 live support is managed-tier only
- - Edition data caps (5 TB Desktop/Free, 1 TB Server/SQL) can force surprise upgrades on large file servers
- - UI breadth means complexity — restore flows and settings take learning, and the 2021 perpetual-to-subscription shift annoyed legacy buyers

- + Simple, stable pricing ($9/month or $99/year) with a 15-day no-card trial
Cons
- - One license per computer — multi-machine households pay full price each
- - No NAS, network drive, or server support
