- Backups complete quickly each night saving me time from always having to modify client backups to fit within their backup windows.
- Money: We are saving hundreds of dollars per year for us and our clients by switching to this product.
- I no longer spend significant time managing backups, checking their status, etc. Alerts are consistent and warn me if there's a problem. It just works. I rarely have to touch it other than when I do random restore tests (as I do with any backup product) and the instant recovery feature works well for that.
