Overall Satisfaction with Quest Rapid Recovery (formerly AppAssure)
We use Quest RR for our primary backup solution at all 3 of our locations. It replicates from location to location. It is a very simple configuration that does provide us with peace of mind.
Pros
- Backup email reporting is good.
- Deduplication makes backing up larger jobs much more manageable.
- Restoring files is fairly simple and quick.
Cons
- Base images seem to be created too often at the slightest trigger like an improper shutdown. Something I think should be able to be skipped.
- Speed of mounting restore points is bad and often times out. There are some work arounds for this but it is annoying.
- Allows us to quickly access restores and recover individual files
- Gives us peace of mind knowing we have backups replicated offsite
- Affordable and able to be installed on standard servers
I've been using Rapid Recovery for the last 6 years and before that we had used Backup Exec, but it was a different implementation as we were still running backups to LTO3 tapes using the full/incremental backup schemes. So Rapid Recovery (AppAssure at the time) was a big change for us, backing up to disk instead with base images and changes. I would assume Backup Exec can do this as well, but haven't used it since switching. NovaBACKUP was a lower cost solution that seemed geared towards smaller and simpler configurations.
