HYCU vs. SysTools Cloud Backup Tools

The SQL database structure and application-consistent snapshots to local storage and recovery are very well done. The interface is nicely made and it is an intuitive design that needs very little training to use. The Restore from the Cloud function is cumbersome and slow, that could be improved by downloading and finding parts needed, instead of the entire backup media.

• Very good for a backup that is also used for frequent access (like a remote HD) and is easy to share.
• Not 100% reliable as a full copy (like TimeMachine) of the HD, but not far off.

Incentivized

• Backup of virtual machines.
• Upload to Cloud backups.
• Recovery of databases backed up through HYCU.

Incentivized

• Fast response
• Excellent analysis
• Easy migration

• The rollout of the file level backup is still not there.
• The Restore from the Cloud function is not ideal and needs lots of work.
• Backups being in native format would be nice for certain files.

Incentivized

• Backup to Dropbox and other cloud services would be great.
• Online backup to 3rd party cloud services that do not affect band-width on the user end.

Super easy usability is something you don’t find out there these days with back up utilities.

I have had several requests, and issues with the rollout and deployment of HYCU in our production environment. The HYCU team of support and developers have met each issue with importance and some kind of resolution or explanation of help. They have been so supportive even in the not so easy ones. That says something for their product and team behind it.

Great over all for what the purpose is. Not needing to spend much time focusing on backup

I have used several backup programs, I selected 2 just to be brief. The best thing I see with HYCU over Veeam is that it is much more difficult for an attacker if inside the network to gain access to the backups and objects saved in the backup storage. The best part about HYCU over Bacula is that it is much easier to use and more stable. The interface alone will save you from time and energy using other products

From my research, SysTools was chosen mainly due to its simplicity. Other software tends to add a lot of eye candy, which for me was not necessary. I needed something that I could configure and leave running in the background relatively unnoticed. SysTools provided that with little interruption to my daily activities.

• We have saved a few SQL issues and recovered data that could have been corrupted.
• Applications and files have a place in the cloud in case the need is there for other depts.
• Restoring across datacenters is possible with HYCU saving us time and money to do so.

Incentivized

• Reduces time of sharing files and working on them collaboratively, in fairly large groups. We stopped using email attachments.
• Reduce recovery time from a faulty or retired PC.
• Reduce time of recovering old and large files we do not keep offline.
