BDRSuite Backup & Replication - Vembu Backup
Overall Satisfaction with BDRSuite Backup & Replication
We use the BDRSuite Backup & Replication Vembu Backup to protect our virtualized environment in a clustered Hyper-V setup. In our experience, the software's restoration options are very poor and not intuitive. Some restorations have never been completed, despite running for many hours. File restoration on an NFS simply does not even open the protected content. For us, backup jobs are slow and fail to complete most of the time. In our experience, the space used by the generated backups consumes a lot of space, and the cleanup of old data does not happen most of the time, requiring manual deletion - which is also very difficult to do. I do not recommend using this tool.
Pros
- Interface for initial configuration is intuitive
- Backup job configuration and scheduling is easy
- Admin interface is web-based
Cons
- Backup restore need some improvement
- Old data management need serious atention
- Windows based cluster are not easy to setup
- Negative ROI
- When we needed, no restoration even finish
- After uninstallation, old data remains on VM folder
