Overall Satisfaction with Unitrends Recovery Series Backup Appliance
We use two appliances across our district to backup data on our servers, and 2 virtual environments. Each appliance has a recovery appliance plugged into it. Once setup and scheduled it works very well.
- Integrates with virtual appliances hosting VMware very well.
- Small client based sets up and integrates well with appliance whether it is a virtual server or regular server.
- Updates are very simple and can be pushed out to client based servers.
- Bare-metal - we need in short something that boots up like that and clones like Acronis.
- Simpler backup retentioning. seems convoluted.
- Simpler backup and archiving. Just combine the two instead of calling them two different things.
- Only had a bare-metal fail because of OEM OS. Set me back a week.
- Sometimes snapshots go wonky on VMware and we have to resolve them by consolidating.
- When the drives fail on the appliance there is no warning. Typically we are not in the environment enough to jump in a web session to check on the appliance.
It's better, more efficient, and can be scheduled on lower bandwidth times.
