Unlimited Cloud Storage $19.95/1 Year - AVG LiveKive 2012

50

Blurb…

"Undeterred, AVG – best known for its free anti-virus tool – has launched a brand new service. AVG LiveKive offers three backup packages, including two paid subscriptions: 25GB ($49.99 per year) and - at launch - an unlimited package for $79.99 per year. The free account offers a generous 5GB storage.

AVG LiveKive is basically a rebadged version of the same client software used by the SpiderOak backup service, which means it’s simple to use and very easy on the eye. The beta version was Windows-only, but the final release - like SpiderOak - comes in both Windows and Mac flavours, while there's also a free iPhone/iPad and Android app for accessing your files through your smartphone."

So it looks like AVG is getting into the cloud backup arena as well and this is their intro offer. Being a BETA release, there's only windows clients, and it remains to be seen what their SLA is like. Still $20 for unlimited online storage isn't bad. I'm guessing at the end of the year, it's going to cost significantly more than this initial offer.

There's also a 25gb package for $14.95AUD..

  • an interesting tid bit:
    "In the event you chose an unlimited storage option for the AVG Paid Services, your usage of the Services if in excess of 500GB may at AVG’s sole discretion be subject to additional usage fees"

    I'm not disapproving of their services, but its not quite as 'unlimited' as they claim.

    • If you can upload 500gb on a consumer grade ADSL line, I'll tip my hat off to you.. but yes, i do agree that unlimited should be unlimited.. however.. 500gb is a LOT of data to upload..

      • This is storage, you don't have to upload it all at once. Personally I just hope these services result in S3 price going down.

  • $20 for unlimited online storage NOW >> after uploaded 100GB >> unlimited package for $79.99 per year
    Remember to download back your 100GB data before it going to expire. That will be painful for me.

    • I think the keyword here is "backup".. you should never ever have 1 copy of important data.. These sorts of cloud backup things should complement rather than replace your backup plan.

  • So is this a rebadged spideroak service? or just rebadged client?

    You can signup to spideroak and use the code "worldbackupday" and get 5gb as well.

  • Yes, AVG LiveKive 2012 is a rebadged version of SpiderOak (which is well established).

    bonus999, remember that you can simply extend your license! It's not a license for one year and then you lose your data. You can choose to continue or not and most people will continue, I'd guess.

    And, at only A$19.95/year or under A$2 a month, for 500GB of online storage, I'd love to see something more competitive?
