Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The company is using Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery to do daily backups for all virtual servers to the appliance and then the appliance uploads to Forever Cloud so that we have our data offsite in the cloud with Unitrends. It is being used by the head office. This protects our data and server as a DR plan.

Likelihood to Recommend

Good data protection hardware/software!
