"acronis backup and recovery is versatile, safe and efficient without doubt the best.: When we talk about supporting your most relevant information or recovering it from any disaster no matter what file it is, acronis backup and recovery is undoubtedly the best options currently available.
There are several features that make acronis an excellent option, one of them is its ability to make a constant backup of all the data of your computers and devices in your network. This automatic function ensures that you have all the data you need stored and protected in case of physical damage, a power failure or viruses that enter and invade your computers.
Another point to emphasize is its great versatility, for the ability to back up, restore and recover any file up to images, such as its ability to back up any available location.
another strong point of acronis is its technical service, without a doubt the best that I have used, fast, efficient and most of the times solve your doubts and problems.

"Great file backup service in the cloud.: Cloudberry is a great tool, to have a backup of all our files in the cloud, is a service that allows you to create all kinds of backups without any problem, in our company as it happens in large companies, the telecommunications market, we have a network of servers in different hosting sites, and apart from that they are in well-known sites and with high levels of security, we needed an extra application that would allow us to have a backup also of this type of services, in case of something strange could happen, with this tool we can easily make backup copies of the images of the systems that on these servers, a complete image is created, with all the necessary information, to execute it later and almost immediately in a matter of minutes.

"Comprehensive cross-platform backup solution: The ability to use a single backup solution to perform file-level backup of our Windows servers, our EqualLogic SAN, our Hyper-V environment, and Linux servers.

"The best backup software I've ever known.: I like Altaro a lot because it is versatile since it allows me to be able to use several virtual machines on my servers. This is something very important to take into account. I can also say that the software is fast manipulation, if you do not have experience with it, this will not limit you to be able to configure it and use it.
This software also allows you to recover backup copies and boot from it, even when another format is being used. It has a continuous data protection system that allows us to protect and monitor virtual machines every five minutes, thanks to its fast and efficient engine that makes the job much easier.
This system allows to have an optimal storage of all backup copies externally and internally in order to have total control with initialization support, thanks to this type of procedures it is not necessary to load the full backup in an initial way.
Through its system, I can access the web portal of this system and I can see the status of backup copies made in the past, updates to my system and products I have issued reports."

"Secure Backup: I like Rapid Recovery because for more than one occasion it has saved our files.
In a company sometimes the files "dissapear" because the user thinks that don't need the file more or even they don't know what has delete.
Then when they need the file again they don't know to do.
The backup is very usefull for these cases."

"Cloud Backup Solution: Is a simple solution to perform online backups. It does files and folders, which also allows to select which specific data sets to choose to control how much data you would like to send to the cloud. Also, it has many different types of plugins, to make it easy to backup different types of files and help make the deduplication efficient. The rest of the application is mostly user friendly and it makes it easy to perform restores, create users and monitor the servers activities. The Avamar client is easy to install and set up to backup."

"Our company has been using the Intronis platform to over 6 years: Note Edit on 5/24/2017 - Check out the new ECHO Platform - NO Silverlight required and all browsers are supported! - Product is easy to use even if it's the first time you've seen it. It is nice to have a branded solution that is not being sold outside of the channel. No more competition from companies that sell direct to the end customer. The product supports file and folder type backups as well as image backups. There is an SQL and Exchange backup function as well. Very full featured. "

"A Backup Solution that does everything I need: The amount of data I can back up and send out to the cloud with ease.
The free agents, Vmware integration, the fact that I can spin up a recovery point and attache it to VMware right of the Backup device. Ease of setting up Backup sources and schedules.
This device also uses Global Deduplication so the local backup size is not as large as other vendors would create.
Support is great and they can easily get in to help with any issues you are experiencing and can also access parts that are in "Admin" areas to see what may be holding up a process or issues that you wouldn't be able to see.
The backups are fast and with VMware, they use CBT (Change Block Tracking) and it will only backup changed data.
It can backup MAC OS, Windows, VM, and Physical. This is a huge deal to me as Veeam would only do VMs up until recently and I still feel like the Global deduplication with the Barracuda is superior to most other devices or software."
