        <description><![CDATA[<p>I recently setup a Servarica BF server as a remote backup of DirectAdmin users. It was surprising that their BF sale units are still available now (<a href="https://clients.servarica.com/store/black-friday-2021" rel="nofollow">https://clients.servarica.com/store/black-friday-2021</a>). The box is a Polar Bear Storage Offer. Specs are</p>

<ul>
<li>2 CPU cores</li>
<li>2 GB RAM</li>
<li>2TB disk</li>
<li>Unlimited transfer on 100mbps</li>
<li>or 4TB limit on 1gbps</li>
<li>1x IPv4</li>
<li>IPv6 available by request</li>
</ul>

<p>Let's start with the YABS</p>

<p>I am not bothered about I/O speeds, since it is a HDD and also a server that is used for remote backups. Connectivity was the main point. I switched the setting to the 1Gbps with 4TB limit instead of the unlimited 100mbps. The above speeds clearly indicate a good network. The uptime of the server (service provisioned since Jan 10) is at 100%.</p>

<p>This is my third server with Servarica. The newer 2TB servers are more responsive than a 1.5TB server I have from 2 years ago. I attribute it to newer hardware. As a backup server, I would recommend them. Do any of you have experience with this provider? Comments welcome</p>
