IBM Cloud Backup vs. Vinchin Backup & Recovery

The outstanding storage capacity, organized security measures, and appropriate business features of IBM Cloud Backup make it something I'd recommend at any time of day or night. Furthermore, the software is online and hence easily accessible from a distance. The application's stability and strength are further assurances that all authorized business users are in safe hands.

As Vinchin has released newer versions, it has gradually expanded support for a wider range of ecosystems while introducing more advanced features. We first started using it with version 6, when there were still several areas that could be improved. Today, the platform has evolved to include features we don't even use, reflecting how much it has matured. In the past, I would say Vinchin was best suited for small and medium-sized businesses. Today, however, with capabilities such as resilient backup options and support for private cloud platforms like OpenStack, it has become much more enterprise-ready. Adding backup support for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure would likely further strengthen that positioning.

• The set prices for the product is a problem.
• Secondly, IBM Cloud Backup customer help should be more speedy.

1. Vinchin does the Job (Agent, Agentless) with flexible recovery point options, and restoration has all the features like entire VM, file level, BMR, Etc. 2. Instant Virtual machine is very useful as an immediate recovery option and migration as well 3. BMR is super easy from agent-based backup or agent-less

Pricing and how easy it is to use. We use other IBM products in our office and it is nice to have everything on one network. The experience for users and managers is better, even new employees who can learn quickly. It also makes it more affordable for us.

Vinchin Backup isn't exactly comparable to these products because it offers a multitude of features that allow it to be integrated into any environment, even beyond the smallest single server. These features include the multitude of virtualization platforms it connects to for backup, features that almost no other competitor can offer.

• We have been using Vinchin for the last 3 years, and we have had no issues with VM backups. VM backups are taken for approximately 450 VMs using multiple schedules.
• For MySQL, we are using the Community edition, where the native hot backup solution is not available. Using Vinchin, we can take hot backups at regular intervals, which have significantly reduced our RPO. Earlier, we used to take MYSQL backup using our own scripts only once a day, at night. After using Vinchin, now it's every 2hours.
• Support is very prompt. Whenever an issue arises, we get support in the WhatsApp group created for our organization.
