What Our Customers Say
"I’ve tried xDrive, iBackup, and Connected, and your service is by far the best. I’m especially pleased with the real-time background continuous backup capabilities, and the ability to store multiple versions of files."
"We recently endured Hurricane Irene, and our office was located in a flooded area. Users were still able to access files, etc. through Data Deposit Box and it was a lifesaver for our company."
"I used to spend 30+ minutes a day doing a daily backup. Data Deposit Box automates my backup and gives me the peace of mind that my data is secure and current. It’s extremely easy to use and requires only a basic understanding of computers. I highly recommend Data Deposit Box to other Doctors and Health Practitioners."
"We were working on a large architectural design project and accidentally lost all the data. Within 15 minutes, we restored everything we had lost via our DDB account. Without DDB, the data loss would have cost us over $8,000 in lost billable time."
"Our power went out and my computer crashed with a file open and unsaved. Three hours worth of work gone! As I headed for the top floor to throw myself out the window I remembered that I back up my data with DDB. I logged into my account, and there was my file in all its wondrous entirety."
"My two year old hard drive crashed and everything was lost. I got a new hard drive right away and in a matter of minutes all my data was restored from DDB - even an email that I was working on when the hard disk failed!"
Linux Backup FAQ
Which Linux distributions are supported?
We ship native packages for the major families: a .deb package for Debian and Ubuntu, and a .rpm package for Red Hat, Fedora, and SUSE. Both cover desktops, laptops, and servers.
How do I install Data Deposit Box on Linux?
Sign up for a free trial, download the .deb or .rpm for your distribution, and install it with your package manager. The setup wizard walks through folder selection and scheduling in under 5 minutes.
Will backups slow down my Linux machine?
No. Data Deposit Box runs silently as a systemd service with bandwidth and CPU throttling controls, so it stays out of your way.
Can I back up a Linux server?
Yes. The same agent runs on workstations and servers — back up home directories, config files, databases, and any other directories you choose, with exclusion rules to skip what you don't need.
What's the maximum amount of data I can back up?
There’s no limit. Plans start at $20/month for 200 GB, with additional storage at $0.10 per GB—so it scales with your needs.
