EMC Avamar: A boon for backup fraternity.
Overall Satisfaction with Dell EMC Avamar
We are a managed service provider and therefore we are using it for two clients to manage their backup and restore operations. We are leveraging through the dedupe technology and always incremental method, EMC Avamar BMR is one of the best in the market.
Pros
- Variable length block level deduplication.
- Always incremental.
- Easy integration with data domain.
- Backup and recovery speed.
Cons
- Cannot do the restore of a individual large file from VMs as timeout occurs.
- Cannot browse more than 14999 files for restore.
- Database backups are clumsy.
- Very cost effective.
- Can back up huge amount of servers.
- For huge environment we can deploy multinode.
EMC Avamar is always incremental and deduplication rate is higher for variable block-level deduplication, restoration is faster as compared to other tools, backups cannot be accidentally deleted as there is an option for retiring the backups, retention is straightforward. EMC Avamar BMR is faster than any tool and there is less administration than many things handled by EMC (upgrade, security patch, HFS check troubleshoot).
