"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"The most valuable features of BackupAssist are ease of use, configure is simple, and more importantly, ease of recovery. If you needed to do a complete system recovery or another recovery it is straightforward."

"I have found that the backups are usually very successful."

"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"The solution needs a dashboard or some form of central control from which you can manage all backups."
"Many solutions become stagnant over time. However, BackupAssist has been consistent in updates but they must continue to innovate and improve to avoid stagnation."
"In the future I would like to see more support for Linux."
