Cloud Backup Software

[shopper150]

I’m looking for recommendations for backup software that I can run on multiple machines, perhaps in different locations on different networks.

I have backup files being created on multiple machines each night. I want these files to backup onto the cloud (either my own FTP sever, or another provider, I have OneDrive, but I don’t mind paying for another service. I need for the software to be able to upload when a new file is created in a particular folder or so this for new files at a certain time). So multiple machines, folders, files, up to one location.

I don’t want to pay per machine and I don’t want to back up the whole machine etc.

Dropbox? Free storage for up to 2gb, but you can get more if you recommend others sign up.

No direct affiliation but we've used these guys in the past:

https://www.redstor.com/

You can install the backup client on multiple devices, select individual files and folders as part of the backup job and it has the option of an SQL plugin if you need to include live databases - not sure what your budget is but IIRC you pay for the size of the data you backup rather than seats for the number of devices.

Alternatively, you say you already have a one drive subscription - you could use something like this:

https://www.cloudberrylab.com/

to backup to the cloud storage you're already paying for. I've also used this in the past with AWS and the client functionality is very similar to that of the RedStor offering above, including the SQL plugin.

You mention one drive, that can do what you seem to be describing, so maybe explain what one drive can't do or you don't know how to do that you want.
