Effective periodic backups enable seamless data recovery
Our primary use case for AWS Backup is for taking periodic backups of our production servers. We schedule these backups to ensure we have the latest snapshots of our servers in place In case of an outage, we are able to restore our servers from the backup. This ensures business continuity and…

A backup solution with better reporting and easy configuration
We were looking to replace our backup software and started doing a POC. During the POC, we realized the benefits of Clumio, especially given our small team. We always look for solutions that are easily manageable and not cumbersome. Clumio offers an easy interface, is simple to set up, and is easy to maintain. It provides a way to get daily reports directly from the software. Clumio has a straightforward setup; it involves deploying an OVF agent and connecting it to the cloud. Once connected, it begins backing up to the cloud. You can easily go to the cloud console and specify which servers need backups, and it starts the process. Different policies can be defined and assigned to servers, making the process much easier. Clumio also sends daily report emails, so every morning, we receive a report detailing what was successfully backed up and what failed. Their support is also good. If a backup fails twice, they proactively open a ticket and contact to resolve the issue.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"RDS backup is one of the most crucial components of any client's cloud environment, so we generally use that. Additionally, we store EBS snapshots in S3."
"It's very easy to configure. Since it's a managed service, it's very straightforward to set up and use. And my customers get on with it very fast."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
 

Cons

"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"It could be less expensive."
"The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful. If they could arrange notes or notifications properly and offer services for managing it in our region, it would be helpful for us."
"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."

"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"There are no licensing costs for AWS Backup. You pay only for the amount of backup storage you use and then the data transferred between regions. Overall AWS Backup is priced reasonably."
