Altaro - Great Value
Currently, we use Altaro in a test environment. The backup solution provided by Altaro - with respect to the VM backup only works phenomenally well for VM backup systems. Their update to connect to Azure cloud storage for off-site backup storage is something that was lacking and is very welcomed as cloud backup is the most reliable way to protect against Ransomware attacks.
- VM Backups - very strog
- Sandbox - system has tools to test restore procedures
- Versioning - ability to choose from numerous backup versions quickly and efficiently
- File backup - currently there is no way to backup/restore any individual files
- Bare Metal - Altaro is great at VM backups, but no bare metal capabilities
