It has greatly improved the speed of recovery, and the time it takes to perform a backup is significantly faster than our previous solution.
This software has resolved our worries about moving away form Tape drives as a primary backup system.,Recovery time is very fast
Can set many recovery points down to 15-minute intervals
Schedule Rollups to improve storage,Easier to eliminate old storage locations,9,Decreased the Time it takes to manage backups, providing IT Staff more time to perform needed tasks.,Cost-effectiveness was the initial reason I explored Vembu, but performance kept my attention. The ability to manage backups from a web GUI on any PC and assign permission to other team members and delegate tasks has been fantastic. The performance boost has allowed us to focus on more business-driven tasks and reduced outstanding issues for our department.,We are backing up physical servers and Windows 10 desktops as well as our virtual machines. As we expand our storage, we hope to back up all of our Windows devices with Vembu and consolidate our backup strategy to one software. Vembu made this idea very easy to come to, and the software made execution a breeze.,VembuHIVE performs reasonably well, however, I do not believe it is working on the scale of other compression or Deduplication programs.
I am running Deduplication on the same volume Vembu is compressing and it is cutting another 30% off the total storage size.
With frequent update releases, I am confident that Vembu will continue to improve their compression implementation.,9,Veeam Backup & ReplicationJesse BrandtVembu BDR - flexible, reliable online backup2018-04-24T15:09:16.780ZDataMirror is a specialist online backup service provider. Vembu BDR is being used across our organisation as a stable, reliable backup solution. We are also using it as the software platform which underpins our online backup service for all of our customers. It is being used to back up a mix of server and desktop machines. It is protecting files as well as backing up bare metal system images and SQL server instances. It ensures that our clients have 24/7 data protection.,Bare metal system images. These are incredibly flexible, enabling you to do dissimilar hardware restores, local or online backups and restore to VHD
Full, differential and transaction log backups for SQL server, ensuring rapid backup and restore, with maximum storage efficiency.
Incremental backups for files, meaning only the changes which have been made to a file are backed up, dramatically reducing time to backup and increasing storage efficiency.,I think the platform is very comprehensive. If one possible improvement might be made, it is the process of creating a bare metal restore image/recovery cd.,10,The platform has been good value for money throughout our relationship with Vembu.,Vembu offered a great, flexible pricing model, and a highly resilient, robust backup product. The combination of these factors persuaded us to buy the product.,We use Vembu for both physical and virtual server backups. The performance has been reliable in both cases.,We haven’t used this.,10,Acronis Backup Cloud and Acronis BackupTom EvansVembu BDR Suite Review2018-05-15T16:19:29.733ZWe use Vembu BDR Suite across our company as our server and data backup solution. Vembu BDR Suite addresses all of our disaster recovery needs.,Easy to manage backup and restore
Centralized management solution
Backup encryption
Good versioning of files,Web based layout can be tricky
Licensing portal is cumbersome
Backup alerts can be obnoxious,10,Rest easy knowing data is backed up
No reliance on third parties for backup
No time spent troubleshooting backup scripts,We were looking for a robust disaster recovery suite with support for physical servers as well as virtual as our push moving forward was to virtualize more of our environment. The most important factor was cost of the solution versus what the solution offered. Vembu BDR Suite met and surpassed my requirements.,At the time of our search for a robust backup solution, we were also planning to begin migrating some services and servers to a virtual environment. We needed a solution that would fit not only our existing physical-based environment, but a mixed and eventually entirely virtualized environment too. Vembu BDR Suite fit this requirement.,We have benefited from the VembuHIVE file system via it's space-saving abilities as well as the added security of having our backed up data encrypted on both the BDR server and Offsite locations.,9,Veeam Backup & ReplicationDarrian ChurchillA flash of DRaaS2018-04-06T21:58:39.684ZWe are resellers as such, we support our clients. The BDR suite is used by one of our clients who specialize in healthcare services. The BDR is used across all departments of the organization. The client has 18 virtual machines being backed up to our datacentre. They are in a critical line of business as such the BDR suite addresses challenges of failure in case of a disaster.,Configuration is easy: Requires basic knowledge to set up and manage.
Easy restores: It supports up to six recovery options to users hence give freedom to chose what to recover.
CBT tracking: Reduces time taken to backup VMS.,Run on other OSes like centos.
Full tests before rolling out any newer versions.
Daily merges are not well explained. Very confusing.
Matching data on the BDR and offsite DR. Seems to be a disconnect from what I have worked with.,10,Crashing of BDR suite increases chances of our clients being exposed to risks.,Reliability
Flexibility
RPO/RTO
Reduced RPO/RTO is the most important factor.,Our client had issues after one of their vms was attacked by a viru.We had to activate the vm so that the client can get data from our end.
We have deployed a test environment and run tests for physical environments.So far, we haven't had any issues.,We have used it for test purposes. Our clients haven't used it yet. But it works as stipulated.,10,Veeam Backup & ReplicationAlex OiraVembu so-so2018-03-01T21:06:01.147ZWe use the NetworkImage, ImageBackup, and VMBackup products associated with VembuBDR to backup our main production servers and Hyper-V hosts.,Scheduling backups
Backup pruning
Integration with Hyper-v,Stability. Our VMBackup product on Windows 2012 keeps crashing the Hyper-V Management Service and then failing.
Upgrade process. Going from 3.5 to 3.8 was paiiinful.
Support process. Getting support has often required many days of support personnel being continuous connected to our production server via TeamViewer.,4,When working and stable it is "set and forget" so that reduces time to maintain.
Flexibility on number of backups to retain and additional full backups to make have allowed NAS storage management and avoided significant additional storage purchases.
When the product is unstable, as our 2012 VM backup is, it costs us time monitoring and restarting services or servers and dealing with Vembu support who have directed us to Microsoft for VSS support although the product worked fine on the platform prior to upgrade, and no additional software has been installed since.,Reasonable price for a complete solution to Share, Drive, and VM backups. Relatively simple to use once installed, if it is stable. Relatively easy restores.,Yes, we backup physical drives, network shares, and Hyper-V virtual machines with the product.,I do not believe we were aware of this file system. I'm not sure how we would benefit from its use.,6,windows backup and backupexec,2,2,Virtual Machines

Prior Experience with the Product,I would seek out more 3rd part reviews. A single person's experience in a dissimilar environment wasn't really enough to go on.,Implemented in-house,No,Change management was minimal,No issues, really.,7,No,5,Yes,Not really. I sensed they were usually committed to finding a solution but it has often taken days.,Set and forget backups, and deduplication (retention) are easy to configure.,Determining backup failure reasons was not very easy
