Genie Backup Manager is very efficient to make backups **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erick P. | System Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2019 **What do you like best about Genie Backup Manager?** Genie Backup Manager offers backups with AES encryption, which is the most reliable security algorithm today. I also like that the software allows you to schedule the backup with date and time, as well as you decide whether to do it with the session open or not. It also has several energy options that are very useful. **What do you dislike about Genie Backup Manager?** The speed of backup is excessively slow and uses many computer resources, so it is advisable not to use the computer while a backup is being carried out. **Recommendations to others considering Genie Backup Manager:** This tool has an easy to understand interface. It has good options to carry out backups in terms of security, they can even be programmed. The price is a bit expensive, however, the functions make it a powerful software. **What problems is Genie Backup Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** In our organization we are carrying out the migration of data to the cloud, so we execute backups with Genie Backup Manager, for a second backup, in case there is an error or loss of information. ### 2. Easy to use decent backup manager **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andreas R. | IT Supporter, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2016 **What do you like best about Genie Backup Manager?** Genie Backup Manager is an easy to use backup manager. It has an easy to use interface, and it's easy and fast to configure file level backups and set up schedules. There's a lot of configuration options and you can also set it to backup to Amazon cloud. **What do you dislike about Genie Backup Manager?** While the interface is pretty fresh, it feels like the functionality is somewhat outdated and Genie9 is focusing more on it's other suites of consumer backup solutions. While local backups works great, backing large amount of files to Amazon works really sluggishly. Genie backup manager also lacks a lot of enterprise features and is really mostly suited for the entrepreneur or small business user, who requires a cheap solution that works great locally. **Recommendations to others considering Genie Backup Manager:** Make sure this fits your use case. There are many different solutions for different needs out there. This product is best if price is a major concern, and backing up locally on a schedule is what you need. There's still a place for local backup software, but use the trial and evaluate whether this suits your need. **What problems is Genie Backup Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's a cheap backup solution that we have used for employees working from home with large amount of assets, allowing them to configure their backup themselves. It's really mostly about price and ease of use, as there are far superior backup solutions out there. ### 3. Simple backup sw for file level backups **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2016 **What do you like best about Genie Backup Manager?** We used Genie Backup Manager for making simple file level backups on workstations and while it lacks enterprise functionality it performed really well on the individual workstations. It has all the functionality you can expect from a consumer/soho backup product. It's very easy to set up and get started with. Scheduling and selecting files to backup works very smoothly. Restoring the backup is fast and powerful. You can get activity logs sent to you through emails. **What do you dislike about Genie Backup Manager?** Lack of business support. They do have FAQS and articles however we lack access to a technical hotline or call-in number. It struggles with backing up to cloud storage It lacks full image backup capability. It cannot backup virtualized machines. It looks like Genie is shifting away from this product onto more consumer oriented products. The ability to restore from network locations did not work very well for us. We were unable to verify if it was just doe to our network locations or because the program fails at this aspect. **Recommendations to others considering Genie Backup Manager:** Use it if you just need a file level backup, but don't expect any enterprise features. It also looks like Genie is shifting away from this type of backup product to a more consumer driven range. **What problems is Genie Backup Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a very cheap quick backup software for our coworkers working from home. We also needed something that was intuitive and fast to learn for our users. ### 4. Clean-cut UI & easy to use **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2016 **What do you like best about Genie Backup Manager?** The UI of the program is very clean and easy to navigate through which makes planning and scheduling your backups a breeze. It is quite intuitive to use and would satisfy 95% of the consumers looking for a basic backup program out there. **What do you dislike about Genie Backup Manager?** Because it stays clean and basic, it is missing some advanced functionality that could be beneficial for the more advanced user. **Recommendations to others considering Genie Backup Manager:** If you're looking for a simple and clean solution for a backup program, this is the one to try. Full, incremental, and mirror backups are the main options where you can choose what items in a user's profile or directory to be backed up. At the enterprise level, this may be cutting it close, but as a no-frills consumer-grade solution, it's a great program to use. **What problems is Genie Backup Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** Scheduled backups for our users' important data and profiles with a no-frills backup program. ## Genie Backup Manager Discussions - [Upgrade Software](https://www.g2.com/discussions/28050-upgrade-software) - 1 upvote - [View Genie Backup Manager pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/genie-backup-manager/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-30+10%3A55%3A40+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=dd52de5e-3b2a-41b5-9098-594f234fa7ca&secure%5Btoken%5D=fa3f2c307c1d691ec491a63dadfc7a28debcf5b3cfacec664060f0ecbd496b9c&format=llm_user) ## Genie Backup Manager Features **Compatibility ** - File Server Backup - Database Server Backup - Virtual Machines - Repository Models **Management** - Disaster Recovery - Remote Backup - Storage Formats - Scheduled Backups - On-Demand Restoration **Management** - Continuous Backup - Disaster Recovery - Storage Capacity - Remote Backup - Activity Monitoring **Reporting** - Activity Monitoring - Documentation - Alerts/Notifications **Compliance** - Security Standards - Cloud Data Protection - Data Deduplication **Security** - Data Encryption - Security and Compliance - Deduplication **Agentic AI - Server Backup** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making ## Top Genie Backup Manager Alternatives - [Veeam Data Platform](https://www.g2.com/products/veeam-data-platform/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (676 reviews) - [EaseUS Data Recovery](https://www.g2.com/products/easeus/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (388 reviews) - [NinjaOne](https://www.g2.com/products/ninjaone/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (4,265 reviews)
