Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery
[Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery] is used by our corporate headquarters.
It allows for us to have a safe and secure off-site data recovery environment in the event of a catastrophic event.
It also allows for recovery of data should it accidentally get purged or deleted from the Unitrends Appliance.

Pros
- Security - Data is encrypted and kept in a secure data center.
- Data is readily available 24x7.
- Business disruption is minimally impacted.
Cons
- They need to allow for the managing and deleting of older backups as they continue to use unnecessary space.
- Unitrends allows for all or nothing. Either a backup of say an SQL DB remains forever or gets deleted entirely and once deleted, it cannot ever be backed up to the data center again.
- This nonsense of no management of the data leads to continuous data growth which eventually will grow past a companies contracted size limit. This leads to more expense on the part of the client. Nothing more than a great money maker for Unitrends!
- Just the fact that we have continual encrypted backups readily available 24x7 is great peace of mind.
- I don't believe there is any true ROI until a company needs to use the Data Center which I would hope we never need to do.
- Again, it isn't good that a client cannot manage their own archived data.

Worked with Sungard Availability Services a few years back and they were much more flexible with managing archived data.
We selected the Unitrends Data Center [Backup and Recovery] because it integrated well with the Appliance and we can count on Unitrends support should issues arise. Going outside of Unitrends just didn't seem like a good idea because an admin would need to work with two different companies for resolution to issues and become a target of finger-pointing. We don't need to be wasting time and costs bouncing between multiple support reps.
