Carbonite is somewhat easy to use. I like that I can see all my devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Server Backup?

I dislike how hard it can be to restore full devices instead of each indiviidual file. If this is possible, it's not clear how to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Carbonite Server Is Amazing!"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenText Server Backup?

The Carbonite platform is so easy to use that we literally have non-savvy customers who can set it up, deploy it, and configure it alone. Versatile and efficient, this platform is so much better than most of the other backup solutions we have implemented in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Server Backup?

There really is nothing to dislike about this product. we use it daily and deploy it weekly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just do it! This server is awesome and we highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease to create and change backup sets. It works on large and small servers with out much difficulty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Server Backup?

It has tripped off on us and has not backed up records we needed backed up. We have set up confirmations on a 20 or so servers, and it would be nice if they had a web -based interface that we could check the backup status of all our servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Server Backup:

After implementation, it goes quite smoothly. Just be sure to check in every once in a while to make sure everything looks chipper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hands free backups for all of our servers and drives. It has saved us time and brain power being able to rely on it to do its job unsupervised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Set it and forget it"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenText Server Backup?

Carbonite does everything for you and is completely automated. The installation is simple and the setup a breeze. If you encounter any problems the custom support is top notch and responds to issues quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Server Backup?

Does not have any SQL database maintenance features and those must be run separately. Formerly, I had both the backup of the SQL database and the database maintenance automated in the same script, but now with Carbonite I must run the database maintenance manually. Also, restoring the database is more difficult because the backup is in a proprietary Carbonite format which requires the use of Carbonite to perform the restore, whereas before I could load my SQL backups directly from the SQL software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Server Backup:

It really is one of the best automated cloud backup solutions out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Server Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

When our SQL database backup solution stopped functioning Carbonite's server solution saved the day. It now automates the backup of the SQL database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
