I want to highlight that each product fits better depending on company size, so CIO's are the ones that should take the attention the most and understands the company current status and future growth before they decide a technology. It is hard to look for easy to install and manage products if the company growing fast or it is already an Enterprise, we are talking on so many layers of high-end storage and high availability solutions that is not simple to manage and even worst to fit the backup time window. I am worried that so many companies are looking to reduce costs and simplify but they need to understand that more and more we are producing high valuable data that must have safe copy. A hacker don't need to get into production system (the ones that have the most money invested), they can simple talk to poor and cheapest "backup boy" to get into the system and gather a copy of all production data and share with others. Really, from my experience I can certain say that nowadays 95% of mid to large companies can be easily hacked on their backup software as they chose the easiest/cheapest solutions. If you are a CIO and you took the decision to low cost, it is better to review your decision depending on how worth is your data information.

Hi Abhishek, That's a great question. In Europe/Austria most of the companies run Veeam - so do we. There a lot of advantages if you use Veeam as it's designed. Also, Zerto (more for Data migration) we use - but not for Backup. VM SRM is good for 1:n replication if you already use VMWare. There is a good comparison: https://community.veeam.com/vu... It's on the website from Veeam but still goo...

This is a nice and important article that thoroughly addresses the critical elements of selecting and implementing a backup and recovery strategy for businesses. It's worth noting that in the selection process, it's essential to also consider the hardware and software capabilities of your existing IT infrastructure. Most backup solutions, especially those designed for virtual environments, require compatibility with the latest versions of platforms like VMware. Examples include backup software solutions such as Veeam and Zerto, made to work well with specific versions of virtualization software. Ensuring compatibility at this level is vital for a smooth and effective deployment of any backup and recovery system.

I have been using Zerto for almost 10 years. It was purchased as a replacement for EMC Recover Point. The product is easy to install and configure. Run books are created to automate the recovery of systems in a timely manner in the event of a disaster. Once installed, it can make disaster recovery testing simple and quick. For testing, an isolated network "bubble" is created and all system...

I agree with what you shared. Zerto is a great product and their support is very good. It is disappointing that I have to stop using it because they are discontinuing Hyper-V support. I am looking at other products and options.
