PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

Really great backup tool that we use for numerous Hyper-V hosts. Well priced, and there is even a free edition for installations with only 2 VMs. Once you get into the paradigm of how the interface works, it is pretty easy to navigate. Have restored numerous files using this.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Once when we had 2 target backup drives we didn't realise had the same exact drive signature (they had previously been in a RAID mirror) it only ever made one as an available backup location. Would be great if it detected this very rare case and let us know.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

Finding a well-priced and comprehensive backup solution - the majority seem are ludicrously complicated and overpriced.
