Re: FTP Capable Backup Sites

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I back up all must stuff (including IBM i libraries) to Google Drive and MS
One Drive.

I wanted it to do it automatically which is why I created apps on the IBM i
to do it (G4G and G4MS).  Each as an addon to upload files, download files,
etc from Google Drive or OneDrive.   (The One Drive app will be updated
later this year to work with Office 365.. MS and their APIs are up iin the
air and total junk right now with no consistency).

Works slick.  I know if it's successful or not, and I can use either a Job
Sceduled Entry or any other method to schedule everything to run while I'm
getting some zzzs.

You could also do this easily by sending your backups to a PC folder that
is monitored by Google Drive or MS Onedrive.  FTP servers are easy to find
and, well, free.  And FTP client on the IBM i is easily scripted.
