DevOps Computer Software Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/6/2022 "Backup for VMs, here you have it!" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Storware Backup and Recovery? We began using Storware Backup and Recovery after a decision to introduce a modern and reliable backup and recovery system into our organization. We had to find "corporate grade" solution tailored for our needs. And that's the point Storware shows up with a solution. It's easy to configure and setup, does not need Windows host - works great as virtualized (VM) node as well as mixed - virtualized node with node on physical server (our setup). Storware Backup and Recovery has simple and clear GUI to manage backup and recovery process. From late 2020 we are satisfied clients/users of this solution, and during this period we received fixes on a regular basis on triggered by our actions. That's the second great advantage, support is very responsive and helpful, all our concerns/issues are taken care of - just ask, and there always will be a person willing to help. We can clearly recommend this software as base backup and recovery system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Storware Backup and Recovery? Accurate cons are hard to pinpoint, every problem we report as I mentioned in previous section is being taken care of. This solution lacks Polish translations, and I know that English is the standard language in IT, but It would be "nice to have". Moreover, having more customizable notifications via email, Slack, etc. would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Storware Backup and Recovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

Network Server Consultant Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/12/2022 "We needed a backup for our KVM Hypervisor Environment" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Storware Backup and Recovery? The two most helpful things were: 1. The solution is based on Linux and not Windows. Because of that, their support team is well versed in everything Linux. We also looked at Veeam, but their level of Linux expertise in the support department was lacking. 2. The support team was incredibly helpful and responsive. It was obvious they knew their way around the KVM Hypervisor and knew what needed to be tuned to ensure the best backup experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
