mikkydoos Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Hi all, My Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is getting too long in the tooth. I'm doing a restore right now and its taking forever due to the archive size. I need incremental backups daily and am backing up at least 2TB of data. Compression is fairly important. Restore speed is a must. What backup software are you guys using? ... Need some suggestions. Cheers in advance Edited November 3, 2015 by mikkydoos
Dos_Box Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 What are you backing up too? Tape, disk or a combination of both?
localzuk Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I use Veeam for our virtual servers, and BackupAssist for our data. Both work very well!

mikkydoos Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 No, its all going on to NAS In fact... cloud backup is a factor too. BackupAssist looks ok. Bit pricey for what it is though.
localzuk Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 In fact... cloud backup is a factor too. BackupAssist looks ok. Bit pricey for what it is though. Not sure what you mean? BackupAssist is one of the cheapest on the market and has good support that goes with it. £108 for a license? Cheap as chips.

BackupAssist is one of the cheapest on the market and has good support that goes with it. £108 for a license? Cheap as chips. Add on the support, 2 Licences, cloud backup - getting on for £600. Suppose it's not bad. In fact compare that to Acronis and it is cheap. You're right @localzuk I'm sitting here looking at Acronis trying to check it's archive for the last hour. I only want 1 folder restored Edited November 3, 2015 by mikkydoos
localzuk Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 What add on support are you referring to? We've never paid for anything beyond upgrade assurance renewals. So, 2 licenses would be £216, offiste backup would be £104. That's £320. Renewal, would then be £132pa, or £208 every 2 years.
Sephiroth Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Have a look at Veeam Endpoint Backup Free. It has to be set up on each server and has basic functionality, but works very well for me at home (Veeam Backup & Replication at school... only need to backup VMs). It'll do compression and deduplication and will do incremental backups on a schedule. I assume that you use Veeam B&R; if so, it'll integrate with that too.
