Hi my boss assigned me hw, to figure out what the best way (cheap, and it works) to back up our computers. be it cloud, hardware, what have you. ft 11 fg

You need to provide more information

1. You called them computers... are they actually servers?
2. What sort of data is stored on these machines?
3. What is the primary purpose of these machines?
4. Are you limited to some level of QoS where you cannot afford to have ANY downtime, or at least 99.9% uptime?

Just shared file storage. We jsut got rid of our servers which hosted a share drive where people could place a file in it, then access it when they are connected to our internet. The IT guy set up redundant servers and etc.. iunno IT language. This costed a boatload of money to pay IT guy for maintenance when we have just been using google drive for everything anyway.

Basically if google drive loses our shit, whats the best thing we can do to make it back up to a local back up every 24 hours or something. idk

If google drive is enough for yall, other simplest solution would be like Dropbox.

If Google Drive is sufficient, just use OneDrive.
