Unitrends Stability
I wouldn't rate Unitrends a ten out of ten because we had some hard drive failures in the appliance. Typically, when you have OneDrive, you can get it replaced. For some particular reason, the situation caused the entire system to crash. We had to reinstall the CentOS operating system on it, and we lost all our backups.
They said there was no way to retain it, and it was pretty devastating and concerning that a drive failure would cause the loss of all the data on the appliance. It was extremely disappointing, and we had to start from scratch after three years worth of backup data.
I rate Unitrends a nine out of ten for stability.
Unitrends has been stable, and I've not been making any changes to it either. It's more of a setup-and-run, where I set up new VMs, and then add the VMs, and that's about it.

All I can tell you is my friends made fun of me because of how often I had to call technical support.

Yes. I was backing up too much information. Changed from doing two physical appliances, one local, and one remote to two local and a Forever Cloud for remote. This doubled our storage space for backups and solved the problem.

It's fairly stable, it runs, it does a backup like you said. Things don't tend to go wrong until either VM upgrades or Unitrends breaks with an update. In terms of that it just carries on. It does its job, that's the main thing.

Unitrends is pretty much stable. It's been around in the market for quite some time. It's not very famous around here in the region of Saudi Arabia, but it's a well-established backup company, and they've been well-established in the market. It's pretty safe to say that it's stable.

We've never had any tests in a production scenario when it comes to stability. I can't speak to if it is stable or not.

Recently, we've been having some issues that I haven't reported yet. They're related to backups being skipped because some of our servers need an update. I'm not sure why it's happening. It doesn't happen to every server; it's just one server occasionally. And as soon as I do the update, then it's fine.

If you do proper planning, the program is very stable. I think Unitrends is designed for a data center and servers rather than for end-user backups.
