I am using two different backup solutions. I use Unitrends [Data Center Backup and Recovery] to back up my virtual machines and the other products to backup data. I have my reasons. What I like about Unitrends [Data Center Backup and Recovery] for backing up VM's is the ease of backing them up. No agents, no nothing. Just a simple connection to the vcenter server. It works great. I also like that Unitrends isn't really picky about storage. I'm using a couple of old Netgear NAS units for backup. I don't try to keep everything; I only keep a couple of copies of the backups. I don't really want the image to be too old. My main purpose with VM backups is when I lose a lot of VM's all at once (done that), this is a good, cheap insurance.

Unitrends good but, in my opinion, pricey and sales can be aggressive.

local backup for short term restores its is working great. For us, the price is prohibitive if i want enough space to do a image of a single server. I did have to push back on a sales person that was calling me monthly, I thought it was very overbearing and pushy. when I did talked to support they were able to understand the issue and resolve it quickly. the devices do run well and i have not had any down time big plus for a backup device.

Unitrends is a very good backup and recovery solution.

We have a traditional stack and pretty typical needs as a manufacturer. I have used and evaluated everything out there, but the Unitrends solution fits very well and was competitively priced. I would think if it fits us, it could fit anyone like us with a similar stack.
