Bareos vs Data Deposit Box

Bareos is backup software for computers and servers, with mixed backup scope and restore modes. It includes ransomware protection and supports Linux, macOS, Windows, web, and self-hosted environments. The Community plan is open source, requires no subscription, and provides access to the public repository and complete source code at free. The paid Subscription plan starts at €480 a year and has a minimum of 10 units. Bareos is made by Bareos, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Cologne, Germany. The combination of computer and server backup can suit environments where both kinds of systems need protection. Its listed platform range includes desktop operating systems and web access, while self-hosted use is also supported. Buyers can choose the free Community edition or a paid annual subscription, whose stated minimum is 10 units.

Data Deposit Box provides continuous cloud backup for computers, mobile devices, and supported NAS devices under one account. It captures file changes as they happen without a schedule, and time-stamped versions allow restoration within the retention window. The plan costs $20 a month, billed monthly, and includes 200 GB of backup storage, unlimited devices, and access to every feature; additional storage costs $0.10/GB. A 14-day trial is available.

Cloud Drive adds drag-and-drop storage for files outside selected backups. LiveLink provides browser access to files on devices running the Data Deposit Box agent without a VPN. Files and folders can be shared by email or link, optionally protected by a password. The service supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. The company says data is encrypted on the device before upload and protected in transit and at rest, and accounts support two-factor authentication. Its iOS app backs up photos and contacts, but not videos or documents.
