Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The backup retention was pretty good. Being able to archive users who had been backed up, is a good functionality. Even if they've been deactivated it'll keep the backups and keep them protected."

More Arcserve Cloud Services Pros →

"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine.""What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management.""The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days.""The most valuable feature is the instant restore option.""It's simple to use.""It is scalable.""It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company.""I like the incremental backups and their failover."

Cons
"StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around one to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working."

"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible.""In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well.""They could be more customer-friendly.""Technical support could be improved.""I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server.""It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform.""It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though.""More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."

    Overview

    Local backups are usually enough to recover IT systems from server failure and other common problems. But a site-wide disaster will destroy those backups and result in major downtime and data loss for a business. Arcserve Cloud Services is a cloud-based disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) solution.

    When paired with Arcserve’s backup and recovery solutions, Cloud Services (DRaaS) ensures complete and reliable business continuity. It is architected from the ground up to streamline data backup and recovery management, and to get critical systems back online with speed and ease. You can replicate backup images from OneXafe, ShadowXafe, OneXafe Solo, or ShadowProtect, to our Cloud Services (DRaaS), giving you the tools you need to keep business running no matter what happens.

    Veeam Agent for Linux is a simple backup agent that’s designed to ensure the Availability of your Linux installations, both on‑premises and in the public cloud. Veeam Agent for Linux’s built‑in integration with Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to leverage your Veeam backup repositories and get your on‑premises backups off site.
