    N2WS Backup & Recovery is well suited for backing up aws and aws related services and workloads. The backup management is very easier using N2WS backup and recovery, restores are also fast and N2WS Backup & Recovery provides option to restore to different regions as well and that helps in Disaster recovery kind of testing scenarios

    Well suited: scenarios with very specific backups schedules; backups saved in tape libraries. Less appropriate: environments with older Operational Systems and older hardware, such as tape libraries.

    It was just not a good fit for our organization. We have an EMC SAN, Data Domain backup storage, and VMWare. Without any other HP software or hardware in our environment I do not see the need to continue using a product that is not well integrated with our other brands

    Very easy to use. What needs to improve is to make it easier to configure some integrations and features, such as office 365 integration, acropolis integration, block change-based backup, etc. Despite we have documentation, even following all the steps, the integration is hard to implement or doesn't work in the end.

    It is the weak point of this software, although it is improving little by a little. The first level of support does not solve almost anything until you move on to a higher level that is more involved.

    For AWS based workloads N2WS Backup & Recovery suited best comparing the features and compatibility from the compared applications for backup testing. N2WS Backup & Recovery implementation is also faster and easy to setup. Restores is faster and also provided options to recover to different regions which is not available with the other backup applications at a easy level

    When selecting a backup solution for our virtual environment we chose HP Data Protector for its cost savings in licensing, our familiarity with the software and the ability to backup to disk, tape or both with the standard installation.

    Here the license model from the Micro Focus Data Protector and DP4CW should merge. It causes argumentation problems if you license two products here.
