"When it comes to using AWS or Azure cloud storage, Backup Exec provides native connections that are just as easy to set up and manage as local storage. Because Backup Exec uses a native connection, the only cost is what AWS or Azure charges for their storage, which can be $.01/MB/Month or even lower for the least expensive storage."
