Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery
The Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery backups all of our server and computing systems. One feature is it can backup IBM AIX along with windows servers. That was a key for us and saved a fair amount of complexity by having one backup system. We use the standard file by file backup for some of our data and [for] others we use the complete image backups. VMware backups are painless and efficient. Based on VMware snapshots set to do incremental forever and the system does [an] automatic consolidation every week or so they call a synthetic backup. SQL Server and MS Exchange have specific agents that will [back up] their specific [database] types. Lastly, we send a portion of our data to their forever cloud for disaster recovery and compliance.

- Veeam Backup & Replication
Storage needs are very great for Veeam and licensing can be costly and complex. Most of the features are the same or similar. Veeam is much better at object-level restores. Purpose build appliance[s] with [their] own storage is a large [benefit] for a company our size with limited space and in-house support.
