What is Carbonite Server?

Reviews
(1-23 of 23)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We use Carbonite Server mainly for Microsoft Exchange Mailbox backups such as client messages, and transaction logs. As of writing this review, most of our servers have ceased operation as the company started integrating cloud backup infrastructure from Veeam and Microsoft 365. Those who are still on-premise still utilized Carbonite's backup services as a fallback option.
- The user interface for Carbonite Server was really easy and friendly to use.
- Although the setup process was somewhat clunky compared to other similar services, once it's up and running, managing it is super straight forward.
- Back up scheduling and notification system was very minimal and non-intrusive.
- The user interface is nice, but is a bit dated compared to other brands. A facelift would definitely be appreciated.
- Granular restore for Exchange has to be set up explicitly and require some additional applications. It wasn't mentioned when we first set up the service until one of the staff noticed that it wasn't backing up the mailbox. It would be nice if such granular restore is mentioned upfront by asking the user what type of files they're going to back up.
- No notification for failed backups. Any form of email notification or push notification would be appreciated if the backup fails. Some backup took hours and it's quite frustrating just to come back and see it failed at like 10%.

A solid backup system, but could use a little help
We are using Carbonite server backup as or current backup solution for 6 servers. We are also using the desktop version for key players within the organization. The intention of bringing the products in is to have a safety net in a place other than Microsoft's built-in shadow copy system.
- Backups
- Installation of client
- Reliability
- The user interface is clunky.
- Admin console is very slow.

Carbonite - A friendly tool to handle your all backup operations
We are using the Carbonite Server Backup to manage the customers' backup environment. It won't give the report module as expected, but apart from that we have enough options to explore the backup and restore technologies.
- Easy to manage.
- Easy to deploy the agent and configure the same.
- User friendly.
- Efficient and reliable.
- Easy for freshers to explore.
- Needs improvement in reporting section.
- Needs DR environment.
- Needs extra options to fetch the Vault data report and Retention report.
November 22, 2019
Carbonite Backup has good versatility but has to include reporting which is the crucial part that is missing.
We use Carbonite Server Backup across the whole organization. We are using it to backup the VM, SQL, Oracle DB and Exchange server Backup. This has solved the problem of hardware utilization, as we store data in their cloud vault.
- Granular restore for application and file level restore are very good and simple
- Web central control is very simple and straight forward for configuration backup
- Director server configuration is easy and simple to setup
- The backup report really needs improvement. It is really pathetic, as it gives wrong information. It is not suitable for auditing.
- The Exchange DAG backup should support instead of configuring each exchange server.
- Cloud infrastructure supports a lot of AWS and Azure instances that are coming up.
We currently use Carbonite Evault as our backup and disaster recovery system. It is being used as an organization-wide system. It addresses the need to have quick restores for those files that no one knows how they disappeared, while also addressing the need to have your data stored elsewhere in the event of an emergency.
- Carbonite Evault allows for easy management of backups. Once the system is integrated there is minimal hands on time. The system is smart enough to email you if there is an issue to give you the opportunity to fix it before it becomes a larger issue.
- Carbonite Evault does restores very well also. Our favorite restores are the BMR (Bare Metal Restores). This type of back up allows you to restore the entire server configuration to a brand new box.
- Carbonite Evault does a good job of allowing you to schedule backups when it is convenient to you with little impact on your bandwith.
- There is room for improvement on the notification of policy changes or the inability to support older hardware. We were left with several mission critical servers that no [longer] backed up without notice. The issue was resolved once we contacted support.
- Another got you is the fact that if you need to do a granular restore for SQL or Exchange you need a special license and a special software installed on the server.
- I would love to see Carbonite Evault provide a user conference with training. That way the newer users could come up to speed and the current users can become more comfortable modifying or resolving issues on their own.

Small Company Flexible Solution
We use it for our whole organization backing up just under 100GB of file, system state and database types data. Carbonite is installed on two older Microsoft based servers which serve domain and file system roles as well as a SQL Server. It is our industry standard to have disaster recovery methods in place which include file level to complete system recovery. We backup month end snapshots up to 10 years as well as a rolling 30 days.
- Their web portal is easy to use to monitor server, check logs, restore or run an ad-hoc backup job.
- Minimal problems, but when there is a problem, customer support is friendly and flexible in finding a solution. Contacting through their customer portal is convenient.
- Competitive pricing for level of service provided.
- It'd be nice if the customer portal and the Evault portal were integrated a little more smoothly.
- An alert system when backups are not working, to email or even to Evault support would had been a nice feature. This was our fault for not monitoring more closely, but information was lost when our storage vault was moved and the IP address had to be updated. Backups were failing for about a month and only the portal logs were recording the failure.

Carbonite EVault - a good product
We use Evault to backup our critical computer systems by taking nightly, weekly and monthly backups which are stored on disk, as well as replicating those same backups to an offsite datacenter for disaster recovery if needed.
- Managing EVault backups with the director console as well as the software central console is pretty easy. Selecting servers to backup, editing the selections for each server and reviewing the detailed logs should any errors pop up is pretty straight forward.
- Customer support via phone to EVault is pretty fast. Since the transition to Carbonite, wait time for support has dropped to a point where there is seldom any wait time.
- Learning of a problem is typically done with email alerts, which I find very helpful. I don't have to look at logs every day searching for errors or failures. The emails notify me.
- EVault has a process for restoring backed up servers to a different location than the original backup. This is really helpful in a DR situation where the original location may not be accessible.
- The granular restore tool for exchange, which is needed to restore a specific email rather than an entire mailbox, is a bit combersome. I wish the tool was incorporated into the 'normal' restore features.
- The inline replication process is very sensitive to available bandwidth. And if bandwidth between source and replication site becomes overused, inline replication fails and 'regular' replication takes its place. I wish inline replication was a bit less 'touchy' and would have a built in 'pause' to allow for the clearing of bandwidth before it fails over to 'regular' replication.

EVault's ease-of-use works for us
EVault is being used for backing up our ERP system data, in addition to our tape backup process. It is our primary disaster recovery method, through our contract with Sungard. Backups are written to a local server at our site, then replicated to the EVault site. Most of the individual file restores that I need to do are done using the EVault backups, which saves me a lot of time loading/unloading backup tapes.
- Able to back up production files while in use
- Easy process for restoring individual files
- Very reliable software - does not require much attention
- Because of our contract with Sungard, we cannot contact EVault support directly when needed
- Haven't had any success restoring spooled files

EVault - A cloud backup solution that delivers
It's used across a significant part of the business - offers a cloud backup solution for company servers and data. It offers a fast, efficient way of safeguarding data and also offers a disaster recovery process. It works well with virtualized server recovery and also file level security. Data is migrated and replicated from localized vaults in data centers to satellite vaults offering cloud storage.
- Speedy backups - once one time full backup has completed then only differentials are backed up
- Excellent telephone support - resolution ratio good
- Virtualization server backup very good
- Issue with backing up VMware 6.5 - waiting for patches
- Reports could be improved - usage reporting is often confusing
- EVault server agents can sometimes be difficult to install

EVault for small/medium businesses
EVault is used for backups for our entire company. It backs up physical Windows, SQL databases, IBM i, and VMware virtual machines. We replicate the backups to our secondary datacenter. It allows us to consolidate one one backup platform and eliminate manual intervention of rotating tapes or other media.
- Multi-platform backup.
- Hardware agnostic.
- Length of time for backups to complete because it never has to run a full backup after the first one.
- Support is generally helpful.
- Flexible replication topologies.
- Backup management portal is difficult to manage for hardware/OS upgrades. Not all agents are supported in it either.
- New product support - vSphere 6.5 is still not supported and doesn't work.
- Scheduling backups are too time-consuming compared to other products.
- Finding the log file from email alerts is almost impossible. Log file names on the Director are too generic and no identifier in the name.
- VMware backups provide no way of centrally showing what VMs are backed up. You have to use the notes of the backup job and manually check each VM.
- Overall product management is complex. Many different components that work together but there can be 3 or 4 places to check for problems.
- Backup reporting is there but requires yet another component to be installed.
- Deduplication only on a per job level.

Carbonite helps AS400 data security
We primarily do nightly backups for 50+ systems and support a DR site to back this up.
- Backup software system is very solid
- Automation of backup tasks is straightforward once you get to know the AS400 agent
- Our ERA vault use of EVault Agent means we have no way to change director - makes it awkward to do housekeeping tasks. For example, if we create a backup job incorrectly we can't just delete it and use the same name. It takes days to get rid of a mistake.
- Error codes in backup logs are hard to find or non-esistent - troubleshooting is hindered.
- They have good tech support people but it is hard or impossible to have continuity of support once a ticket is opened - becomes awkward because each contact may be a different person and usually is. There is - by design I think - no way to reconnect directly to the same person.

Happy Camper
[It's] used to backup the whole organization's servers. It solves protecting data files and is part of the DR strategy.
- It's easy to set up and backup.
- Like the speed of full backups once the initial backup is complete. It compresses and only backs up changes but makes it easy to restore as it links all the files together.
- Support is excellent - Easy to contact someone when I need help.
- DR: Previously had to do a restore of over a TB of data from the cloud. They quickly recovered the data onto units and shipped them overnight and it was fairly easy to restore the data and get an email system back up and functional.
- Would like to see better integration with the ON-Prem appliance and the cloud so I can backup less critical things like bare metal systems on-prem and then put the critical files in the cloud and not have to separate it as much.
- It would be nice to have better aging of the data so older files could be put in slower/cheaper storage instead of just falling off a cliff once it's aged based on its retention.

Carbonite Server backup for small business
We are a small organization with a single server. We currently use Carbonite Server Backup to create full server offsite backup once per month.
- Relatively easy to set up.
- Very responsive support.
- We tried creating a full server backup once per month with incremental backup daily. This proved unworkable over a standard DSL network connection. The full server backup would take approximately 3 days to upload to cloud and then the incrementals were temperamental, The software had to be reinstalled on several occasions after a failed backup.
- We now run a full server backup once per month and use file backup for dailies. This is much more reliable and has reduced the time required to monitor and fix.
- On the plus side, support was very helpful and good in getting things started again but the backups required constant attention.

Great tool for data backup and restore.
We use Carbonite Server Backup to back up our digital information across the whole company to the cloud. This backup is on daily basis to secure data from potential hardware failure due to natural or manmade incidents. The three backup protocols can be optimized for most the efficient and least cost plan.
- Carbonite's technical support is very helpful. We received great support in a couple incidents, including backup plan configuration.
- Backup setting can be customized to meet business needs, i.e., specifying folders or type of files for backup.
- Data restore procedure is easy. Accidently deleted a file in a local server and it was easily identified in the cloud and restored to the server.
- To me, Carbonite is only for server data backup. I was hoping for a cloud based database backend server or share folder, but I guess that's not what Carbonite is meant to be.
- An administrator user should be able to manage files in their account at the Carbonite website.

I stumbled across Carbonite Backup, and I fell in love.
I have a handful of clients utilizing Carbonite Server Backup. Carbonite Server Backup has an intuitive user interface, reasonable rates, and is incredibly reliable. I've used it to recover from a couple of cryptowall attacks, and various situations that require file restores, and full server restore, and it's worked perfectly for my clients' needs. If I had to complain about anything, it might be the need for a decent internet connection for the initial backup, but that's not even a breaking point. Carbonite is up there with one of my top 3 backup solutions.
- Intuitive user interface, easy to set up, easy to use, perfect for SMBs.
- Cost effective, secure solution.
- Great for file recovery, and full system restore.
- The need for a good internet connection for initial sync, but Carbonite can't really be to blame for this one.

Carbonite Server Backup Review
We are a new (May 2015) retail flooring business. We had, and still have, many issues to solve and manage in our business. I have had them for backup on my system at home with no problems. Turning over the backup task to them took a task off my back. I still have plenty!!
- Quick notification of potential problems with files.
- Excellent support with issues/problems.
- I only have 1, but it is very important to me: we are a small company - 4 people - and none of us have much computer knowledge. When issues arrive that require communication we need less "techie" talk and more plain English.

Carbonite works for us
We use Carbonite Server Backup to back up our staff server, which includes the domain controller and most importantly, our share folders, where staff saves all of their files. It is used also to back up our financial software and employee payroll records.
- It is easy to administer and monitor. We've set up automatic backups, which saves us a lot of time.
- We have been able to retrieve accidentally deleted files, as well as a whole database, using the restore feature. This was invaluable.
- I have also had to use the technical support and was impressed by how much time the technician spent with me to solve my problem.
- At some point we had to update the software and it seemed a little difficult to do that. We had tech support help us, and I don't know if I would have been able to do it myself.
December 20, 2016
I Really Like Carbonite!
It's used for our entire company. It provides us with backup support in case our local backups fail, if any, as well as in the case of an entire server failure.
- It provides a safety net in case of total local drive failures.
- It provides a safety net in case our server quits operating.
- It gives wonderful customer support if you come across any issues.
- It allows you to pull particular files from prior days and can support many days worth of our company's in-house documentation.
- A quicker way to obtain individual files would be nice.
- I don't know of any other issues.
- I really like dealing with all the reps at Carbonite, although, thankfully, I don't need them often.

Carbonite better than Tape
carbonite is being used across the whole organization, it is backing up servers and databases. It solved our problem we had a few years ago when it was time to buy a new tape backup system and all the components needed to run the system. We find it easier and cheaper to have switched to carbonite. It also addresses our concerns on security and offsite access if something ever went wrong.
- Document backup is the easiest and quickest.
- These last couple of updates Carbonite released hyper-V backup capabilities which helped us out greatly.
- Carbonite also lets one do independent backup of the servers if for some reason we also want specific programs backuped and still use the hyper v backup.
- Great tech support, I reach out and they have worked daily with me till my problem was resolved.
- I would like to see Carbonite run without being tied to Java updates.
- Its been a while since I have done a restore but it was some what difficult and hairy finding certain particular files; not folders, they were easy.
- The dashboard coloring for checking backup storage on the web is very difficult to read. I would prefer a bold black print.
December 14, 2016
Trust Carbonite
We use it to backup all mission critical docs and data: desktops, laptops, server, and database.
- Setup and forget it. Carbonite will run without any daily monitoring.
- Carbonite will notify you if there is a problem with a backup.
- Carobnite user support is friendly, knowledgeable and and quick at solving any problems I can not resolve.
- Predefined server backup schedules with retention time frames.

Inexpensive Reliability
Our company uses Carbonite Server Backup for all of our servers. This includes email, mobile, operating systems, and software. We have never had to obtain copies of our backups, of which, I am very grateful. Whenever our cloud backup is getting close to full. I receive an email alert to either purchase more space or cleanup our current backups. I use these alerts to keep our system backing up at optimal performance. Whenever I need technical support Carbonite is just a phone call away and any updates or problems are handled with relative ease and timeliness.
Before Carbonite, we had servers that used the old tape backup system. Each night we would have to make sure someone changed out the tapes and took them home, so as not to have them destroyed in either a fire or disaster. Carbonite Backup to the cloud has given me peace of mind knowing we are protected. I highly recommend anyone that is thinking about purchasing backup servers to give Carbonite a call first.

eVault: A backup solution capable of supporting a large volume of Fortune 500 companies
As an IT services provider SunGard setup and supported eVault for multiple customers. It was setup and supported by my group, Availability Service, during my last year with SunGard. The product allowed us to provide an on-site and off-site backup solution for our customers which covered the most important applications (SQL / Exchange) and system types (Windows / Linux).
- Initial training, setup, and configuration are all very well designed and easy to pick up.
- Support was very responsive and helpful in all situations.
- The product was much easier to use compared to other common backup solutions that were in use.
- I really have no complaints.

Vetted Review
Verified User
eVault is a server/data backup solution and hosted DR provider. The IT department will typically manage this product, but the impact of the product affects the entire organization.
- eVault has perfected recovering your environment in the cloud during a disaster or simulated disaster. The process is quick and keeps all burden off the local IT department when it comes to recovering the systems and bringing them online.
- Quick recovery of data/servers some localized issues such as missing files and/or corrupt servers.
- Allows for all digital backups - no more tapes and costly secure storage!
- In my opinion, support is terrible. It takes days for them to get back to you and then weeks to resolve issues. Problem is these are usually critical issues that need attention right away.
- The virtual agent to backup VMs is impossible to install and once it is, it tends to have issues that cause the backups to fail. I now reboot my agent every 2 weeks to avoid issues.
- Reporting is not good. You are unable to pull simple reports when you backup to an ERA. I needed a report to show status of jobs during a time period and was unable to produce that simple report without having to go into each job and manually download the log file.
