Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery

We use Unitrends to back up our entire VM infrastructure. With Unitrends, backing up 50TB+ is a breeze. The software intelligently snaps the VM and backs up the data. We can now run an incremental backup every hour without compromising processor or memory utilization. File level restores are also a breeze with just three simple steps. You can search the entire database for a single file, and the system knows which backup to automatically mount and restore the file. Everything is web based so you can access your backups and see progress from any device. Long gone are the days of worrying if a backup was successful or when it will finish.
  • SQL and large databases are no longer an issue to back up.
  • Searching and restoring files are a breeze.
  • Setting retention policies and placing backup holds is no longer a complicated process.
  • Replicating the backups to a DR site is simple.
  • It’s hard to find something that is missing in this software.

Unitrends is the market leader for a reason, you can tell they put a lot of thought and R&D into designing the software and making it work the way you want it to. I no longer have to guess whether or not a restore will work or what incremental the file I am looking for is on.
I’ve used other software to back up our SQL server and the software was so intrusive we had to stop the SQL server to back up our large databases. Some days it would take more than 5 hours to backup which meant a lot of downtime. With Unitrends we no longer have to take any of our servers offline. This is a huge advantage of what we had before. No longer needing to take the VM offline also allows us to have more frequent backup and more reliable restores.
