Default a database question please help

Hello people,

Well i'm not that familliar with all these backup services actually and I'm looking for a good and cheap schedule backup service.
I hyperlinked a site which I found while searching for this kind of services and I wanted to ask you if you think it's ok or should I be more skeptic and search for other services?

You didn't specify whether the database is local or remote and whether you were looking to backup locally or remotely.

If it's local, I can recommend Acronis (no affiliation). I've been using it for a while and it's very simple to install and manage. I back up my hard drive to an external hard drive (I know I need to get this set up so it's also backed up offsite as well.)

I have it set up so it does a daily incremental back up and a monthly full data back up. It can also back up your application settings, but doesn't get all my software which is sort of a drag.

It's very inexpensive too, which is nice.

Best backup you can get, that is cheap and reliable is: Yourself . Unless you have important volumes of data to backup, best thing would be to do it yourself. I usually do a backup every 2 weeks. For what I have, it is usually enough.
