Overall Satisfaction with Carbonite EVault
We utilize eVault as our primary Disaster Recovery software for the entire business. It handles long term data backup and retention (disk-to-disk) for 70 servers and individual databases. It covers MSSQL, Exchange, and file services.
- D2D backups and restores are fairly intuitive.
- Background tasks are reported well via e-mail reporting.
- Scheduled data verification and deduplication is not prioritized properly in automated tasks. This requires constant manual intervention to prevent storage space from being completely consumed without warning.
- Progress in backups and restores is not always accurately measured.
- Efficient turn-around for all backup restore requests.
- No hand-holding on regular scheduled backup tasks.
Not a particularly fair comparison. Veritas is a product no longer in service (Now Symantec Enterprise Backup). The Veritas solution was a cumbersome AIT Tape backup solution that was very unreliable.
