What do you use to backup Dropbox?

I am looking for a third party solution that will backup Dropbox and I have not found any yet. One of the problems I have is that I have more than 8TB of data in Dropbox and I am told that they do not support syncing that much to a local device - therefore, a backup of the local files is not a complete solution. Have you used or heard of anything that I can look into?

I run BackBlaze on my system which works really well 🙂

Does BackBlaze backup data that resides in Dropbox?

It backsup everything thats on my device, so, wont backup anything which is in the cloud - but for me thats fine (I still have the very very old PackRat add-on!). 

 

 

I dont think you'll find any service which can backup what you have on cloud but not device.

Ok. It is my understanding that I cannot have all of my DropBox on my computer no matter how large my drives are. I want to backup everything that Dropbox is storing. Right now I am reviewing CloudAlly's site to see if that is an option: https://www.cloudally.com/dropbox-backup/why-backup-dropbox/

Whew, CloudAlly is $30,000/year for 10TB

Hi @DeliberatelyDisasterDeterred,

Take a look on some competitors. pCloud, for example, can provide backup for different online services (including Dropbox) on reasonable price, I think.

Good luck!
