Is DropBox Business Secure Enough For WHM Backups?

[Moobs]

Are advanced DropBox business accounts secure enough for storing backups & sensitive data? I currently store backups on a different drive outside the raid, but it’s still all connected to the same server & datacenter. Cloud storage seems like a great tertiary option for any sort of catastrophic failure when hosting a network with a single datacenter.

Is the higher encryption of transfers & 2FA enough to prevent the data from being intercepted or compromised in some way, such as data breaches at Dropbox, with the advanced business plan?

Hi @Moobs,

Is the higher encryption of transfers & 2FA enough to prevent the data from being intercepted or compromised in some way, such as data breaches at Dropbox, with the advanced business plan?

There's some discussion of this topic on the following StackExchange thread:

Is it safe to use Dropbox in its present state?

Additionally, I encourage you to join the discussion on the following feature request that requests encryption of the backup archive on the cPanel server:

Backups - encryption of backups (symmetric and asymmetric)

Thank you.

I personally wouldn't trust any of my client's backups on a 3rd party's server like Dropbox, google drive, etc.
