We backup bare metal installs as well as VMs across four branch locations. Our Unitrends backup appliance solves our problem of having safe, reliable backups available in the event of a disaster recovery scenario.

We compared Unitrends to Barracuda and selected Unitrends based [on] total cost over a three-year period. The Barracuda product was more than double the cost over the same three-year period. Additionally, both appliances offer similar feature sets and support, but the Unitrends appliance seemed to be a bit more robust in terms of options and features.
