It’s great for protecting virtual environments, cloud support is excellent and you can choose exactly the capacity and features you want to pay for.Hello everyone! I could use some advice on optimizing my company's backup strategy using the existing tools that we currently have (currently I think the strategy is bogus and is in need of significant modifications). For physical clients, bare-metal recovery can restore a system onto new hardware,īackup Exec really covers every data backup and recovery angle, with a superb range of features. BE21 also integrates with Microsoft Azure Site Recovery, allowing VMs to be replicated to the cloud and restored in seconds. We selected a backup of our SQL Server host and had it running in VMware in only 80 seconds. Instant GRT takes care of SQL databases and Exchange items, while for bigger recovery tasks you can use the instant VM Recovery option, which turns a backup into a new VM. Multiple stages can be added to implement a hybrid strategy that backs up to both local and cloud locations, as well as replicating to other disk stores.įor restoration, you can browse the files, folders or volumes of a selected source, pick a recovery point and choose where to send them. When it comes to creating backup jobs, you can get started by selecting your source systems in the console, then choosing a predefined strategy from its drop-down menu. We had no problem setting this up, and after enabling encryption and providing an Amazon S3 key, our deduplicated cloud repository was presented as a new backup destination. If you want to use the new cloud deduplication feature, you’ll need a Silver or Gold licence and a local folder to serve as a cache. BE21 doesn’t currently support the Object Lock option, but it applies home-grown ransomware protection by blocking any other process from writing to its data stores. We used an iSCSI target on a Synology NAS for our test vault, which we added by simply providing its local drive letter.įor cloud storage, we merely had to provide our Amazon S3 account ID and key and choose a bucket. BE21 gives you plenty of options for backup storage, supporting physical and virtual disks, cloud services, tape drives, deduplicating stores and network shares.
