Easy-to-use VM backup software
Overall Satisfaction with Altaro VM Backup
We use Altaro VM backup to backup one physical host with 5 virtual machines. It is used to backup our entire organization across all of our departments. It addresses the need to have up to date backups of all of our information. We additionally have file-level backups but this allows us to restore an entire machine if necessary.
- Reliable.
- Easy restore jobs.
- Notifications when jobs fail.
- Can get pricey if you want replication.
- Can get pricey if you want cloud backups.
- Doesn't automatically update.
- We have a reliable backup solution.
- I always know if/when a job fails.
- Any time I have had to restore a backup, it was a straight-forward process.
The only other competitor I am personally familiar with is Carbonite. I use that for file-level backups throughout my network and it works well but while it does offer backups for virtual machines, I have never found it to be a reliable option. Jobs failed for me regularly for no apparent reason. In the handful of times I have needed support, they were helpful and straight-forward.
