- Really, it is constantly being developed, so I don't think of anything.
An easy choice for 'simple' backup requirements on Cloud
- Microsoft products (especially Azure) integration (Windows/Azure SQL instances).
- Easy to implement and to administer.
- Friendly interface, compatible to Azure visual identity.
- Easy to back up and restore.
- Relatively good backup performance.
- Backup granularity (choose only some folders/files to backup).
- Application awareness/consistency backups.
- Better visualization of policies/schedules (it is not practical to go VM to VM to check the applied schedule).
- Reports and metrics.
- Product functionality and performance from Azure Backup
- Your backup is not affected in the event of a virus attack in a production environment
- Simple GUI interface make this service very attractive
- Integrate azure backup with local Data Protector Manager, It will make a cost-effective
- The need for high bandwidth
- The time required to restore files should be a little faster...
- Technical support is in need of improvement
- Connection failures with some Firewall models
A reference and great cloud backup solution.
- Easily backup and restore virtual machines.
- Friendly and clean interface and very easy to configure.
- Integrations with other Microsoft products. Customizations.
- Excellent documentation from Microsoft. The guides help and are easy to follow to set up.
- Successful solution. No errors or bugs or problems.
The best model for automated backups in the cloud
- Out-of-the-box simplicity.
- Provides a single location to ensure backups are covered.
- Perhaps makes users a bit more dependent on the UI of the service to use it.
- The lack of detailed APIs makes it a little harder to integrate into an automation chain.
Back That Thing Up - With Azure Backup
- Azure Backup is fast! Coupled with the fact that Microsoft created Azure and Windows - these two operate phenomenally together!
- Administering the backups inside of Azure is a breeze. The ability to mount, restore entire backups, or recover files, has been made very easy. You do not have to download any media to recover something, you do this all in the cloud and it gets mounted in Microsoft's systems. Making this process less than a quarter of the time you would have spent with your 'other' backup solutions.
- Having an admin console that you can use to manage backup schedules across your network would be useful. Going machine to machine to check the current settings is ok but would be better in a GUI.
- Maybe an agent utility installed on each workstation where the user can specify or customize the backup, perhaps just a set of folders, or ignore certain folders, would be helpful to eliminate garbage in the cloud.
Azure Backup - The Best Choice For Azure Infrastructure
- Relatively quick backup times.
- Protects the entire VM as well as file system/app consistent backups.
- Restoring from Azure backup is a whole new VM deployment instead of just a VM restore.
- Not as many metrics available for deep dive/analytics.
