URBackup works when it works, but is finicky and temperamental **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2021 **What do you like best about UrBackup?** I like the way URBackup is architected to allow road warriors to be able to backup quickly while on the road. Not every other backup system out there works that way. I like the fact that it's open source code also, however that is mitigated by its finickyness in that, if you start modifying source code and recompiling, it goes off the rails quickly. **What do you dislike about UrBackup?** URBackup is way to finicky for my tastes. If you try customizing deployments of it to multiple clients in an enterprise, it stops working. The user interface side of it gets out of sync with the backup agent side of it, and it doesn't negotiate a connection with the urbackup server correctly. **Recommendations to others considering UrBackup:** If you have very simple backup needs, urbackup may be it. It just installs and runs, when it works. If you have to customize it or add other features to it, forget it. **What problems is UrBackup solving and how is that benefiting you?** Unfortunately, I was never able to get urbackup to a state where I would say "it's ready" and trustworthy. I had a lot of high hopes for it, but it never paid off. If you are looking for customizable, re-brandable backup solutions, urbackup is just not it. ### 2.

Open-source client/server backup solution designed to perform full and incremental file and image. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 15, 2019 **What do you like best about UrBackup?** I love this software because it is so easy to use. We use server imaging through one process, file backups through another process (scripts & cloud storage), and UrBackup for client computer image backups that can be restored within an hour or two. Of all my backup strategies, this one has been the most saving as I can usually just pop in another drive on the downed computer, boot off a cd or DVD connect to the server, then restore the computer from the last nightly backup - and it's free! There are also a lot of options for this application that is constantly being updated and added to by the developer, and it has lots of storage varieties that can be implemented. I have tried a few different ways of installing this application (OS's), but for us, the Windows servers seem to fit our needs best. Also, we are able to maintain Full & Incremental image backups on our schedule where it doesn't really interfere with our day-to-day work. **What do you dislike about UrBackup?** I can't really think of any cons, especially since it's free to use. If I had one suggestion, it would be to lay out more ideas on fine-tuning the procedures for the backup schemes. Upon starting, it can take quite a while to get all the initial images going and can chew up a lot of resources, but when that's done it works really nicely. **What problems is UrBackup solving and how is that benefiting you?** Security & ease of knowing that I can fully restore a client computer within about an hour or two, once there is an issue. The price is nice too! ### 8.

The fact that it only seems to work with NTFS formatted drives and volumes could be an issue with some admins and users. Could only get it to work on the primary drive as well. That was a bit frustrating. **What problems is UrBackup solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to share documents among coworkers, some documents seem to get easily deleted or misplaced..not with this, everything is documented and backed-up any time a file is moved, used or even viewed. ### 9.
