Comments: I had a warning message with the M365 backup and wanted to know what was affected, but each time I got the message, report has expired.
Also, sometimes the repository disables itself, which prevents backups, but there is no way to understand why this happens.

Pros:

Clear and easy to use GUI. Favorable prices for licenses.

Cons:

Errors cannot be traced and no SQL backup possible.

Powerful backup tool for multiple platforms, including Sangfor and VMware

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: We are using Vinchin Backup in multiple environments with a very positive experience.
It probably doesn't have all the features of other more famous software (for ex. Veeam), but it has a simple and clear license model, it has all major features you need, and it's easy to install and maintain.

Pros:

Easy to install, interface user friendly. It covers most of the features you need in a backup solution. Technical support is very efficient, they answer very quick and the operators are technically prepared. It supports Sangfor HCI platforms.

Cons:

The software miss some features like: - allow easy monitoring of backup jobs from external tools (like SNMP for example). Actually it supports only e-mail notifications. - It does not allow to schedule a job to run when another job finish. - It does not support VM replication

Review by ion2s System Administrator

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: A few months ago, while the Exchange ProxyLogon Attacks, Vinchin helped me restore our Exchange Server in different Versions. Every Backuprestore creates a new VM automaticly. So i was able to switch between day-versions for running testscripts to find IoCs and export overwritten logs.

Pros:

I decided for Vinchin Backup and Recovery to save time for me for writing and for my collegues for explaining bash scripts. Vinchin gives me a nice and easy to use GUI to manage backup and restore processes for our oVirt VMs.

Cons:

The backup log ist not showing the task duration for a single VM. Sometimes Vinchin is not able to delete a backup snapshot (not furter investigeted yet - maybe my fault) Since the update to v6 the backupjob duration increased by about 6 hours (not furter investigeted yet - maybe my fault)

Data Protection problem solved with Vinchin Backup & Recovery in a smart way

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: It has made Data Backup easy and fast due to simplicity of the software. I like the granular restore feature which allows us to save a piece of data multiple times instead of waiting for whole VM restore.

Pros:

As per its name, it helps with VM backup activities; Does work smartly by doing activities fastly and easily and also , it comes with a quick installation time period

Cons:

Unexpected data loss is a demerit for me; it should be tackled by Vinchin Backup & Recovery properly because the business runs on data.
