If you want to edit or add users, you need to go to the Organization section, then click on another user section there, which then gives you the ability to edit or add users.

    Our company was originally with VaultLogix which was taken over by LiveVault. The transition to the new product was not as smooth as expected and presented us with issues especially with a restore. Restore and what files needed to be included in the backup policy were not communicated to us correctly and it was not until a customer's server failed that we found out we couldn't do a restore because we were missing files that were needed for a complete restore.
    I don't believe it works very well for backups of virtual servers. Installation of the product is user-friendly.

    [The] customer support is quite good. Cost also has another point to add, along with process integration and ease of using new tool.

    LiveVault is the only product we have used. The reason is that we chose it initially was the fact you can restore individual files. Also that the data is transferred offsite to a secure data center and data is backed up again, providing a second offsite copy.

    • it is also fully integrated with all other AWS services
    • manages the entire life cycle of the Certificates by itself, so it will reduce your work by a really big amount
    • it can also be easily integrated with ELB and front-end cloud services.

    • LiveVault has initially cost us more labor time than we anticipated for our IT staff.
    • Installing cloud backup has given us a piece of mind that our data and our customer's data is safe.
