Value in Reliability
Overall Satisfaction with Solarwinds Backup
Solarwinds Backup is currently set up as a DR solution for 3 main servers. Active Directory and Domain Controller with VM as a DHCP server, Exchange Server, and ERP Server. DR System is set up with continuous recovery at a secondary location in case the main location fails. This secondary location is tested on a monthly basis in order to ensure availability in case of disaster.
- Unlimited revisions
- Unlimited deletion policies
- Secondary location recovery for testing as well as DR
- Bare metal restore
- Restore complete settings: IP settings, the setting of CPU/Memory for VMs, etc. would decrease management during a restore.
- Individual file backup: more granular settings for backup.
- Change of device name after setup: at times, computer names change after restore so it would be great to rename the device name.
- Option to recovery security key.
- Solarwinds Backup, as with many backups, does not produce ROI until there is a disaster. With 1 ransomware attack so far, the 1.5-hour recovery completed brought immediate ROI for the system.
- Piece of mind: knowing we can recover from just about any disaster is a massive positive impact.
- Asigra, Acronis Backup, Datto, Infrascale Platform, Altaro VM Backup, Veeam Backup & Replication and Backblaze
