   Excellent backup service

   By far the best backup service I've used. Reasonably simple to use but also extremely powerful. Support is excellent and the Snapshooter team have been highly responsive and are pro-active in adding new features and backup "recipes" for common scenarios. Once you're comfortable with the process, setting up a new server connection and backup jobs takes just a few minutes.

   👎 Cons:    Long lists of jobs unwieldy

   Backup with clarity

   Backups, done.

   A good range of options for backups of files to config and previous databases and much more. Only use a handful of integrations. Lots of options around scheduling.

   All administered from an easy to use web interface.

   Use their storage or your own is flexible to ensure multiple copies reside.

   Restore is good too, that’s quite important I’m told ;) clear to see steps needed.

   The support is great and responsive too.

   My con is in the context of wanting certain integrations without the rest of the higher plan features. It’s a minor niggle really :)

   👍 Pros:    Ease of use|Clean ui|Support team always ready|Reliable|Reports

   👎 Cons:    Costly pro plan

• PCVR on Mac?

  I had Shadow. There quite affordable when I registered and the hardware was top line. I was using it as my gaming PC for a long time (mainly for PCVR). I live in Spain and these days there wasn't dedicated servers here so I connected through Paris nodes (and that increased a bit the latency) but I play HL Alyx and a lot of games that way with good graphics (in that moment Shadow has a GTX1080 GPU) and great...

  Https://shadow.tech/ It’s a cloud PC. I used to use it until I got my current laptop. Not cheap but very good. Source: 12 months ago

• Apple's game porting toolkit is fantastic. Cyperbunk 2077 at Ultra on an M1 MBP

  > But then Apple doesn't ship devices with actually powerful GPUs, so it can never compete with the gaming PCs which are far less expensive and far more powerfull graphics-wise. It is still expensive to have to use Windows just so you can game. Or put all the effort into dual booting Linux. Most people just use a Macbook and then get an Xbox/Ps5/Switch/Quest2. For games I can't use on those you can get Shadow PC... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

  There is shadow.tech, which just gives you a full Windows Desktop with a little persistent disk. This should in theory work the way you want to. Source: 12 months ago
