Run on a Linux VM, so no need to install Windows, like many other backup tools. Support is very responsive. **What do you dislike about VMcom Backup Appliance?** Nothing … there was some small bugs at the beginning, but support was responsive and corrections available quickly. The update is easy to do, online (after a vm backup, in case …) **What problems is VMcom Backup Appliance solving and how is that benefiting you?** We had to replace VMWare VDR. We didn't want to install a Windows VM and we were looking for something as easy to use than VDR. We tried VMcom Backup and it was perfect.
