Data Deposit Box vs MSP360 Backup

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.
