BDRSuite emphasizes data protection with policies that initially seemed tight. While I felt secure upon initial setup, I haven't reviewed them since joining and haven't received any update notifications. Some policies I apply directly to my servers and where we store all of our data are also protected from our firewalls. The ability to instantly recover is essential for our organization. BDRSuite gives me peace of mind by allowing for very fast data recovery. While I haven't had to use it for a real incident, my initial tests showed a smooth process. Since I back up entire virtual machines, recovery involves starting the virtual machine and the cap server, getting me up and running quickly. This is essential because my backups are complete mirrors of the machines, eliminating the need for lengthy restorations. While BDRSuite's ability to create multiple restore points for granular data recovery is a valuable feature, it's not crucial for me since I primarily focus on full server recoveries. Some clients might leverage this for individual files and folders, but my recovery needs are more about bringing the entire machine back online. Granular recovery isn't a key selling point for me because my use case revolves around full system restoration. Incremental backups are a great fit for our system! We back up some machines every two hours and others every twelve, depending on the customer's needs. This method minimizes storage space on our backup servers since only changed data is copied each time. The backup and replication scheduling in BDRSuite is very flexible. I can set up automatic backups every 4 or 12 hours, or even create custom schedules to fit my specific needs. This has been a big advantage for my technicians who handle the scheduling. Managing backup jobs in BDRSuite is straightforward. Deleting them is simple - just navigate to the job and delete it. However, creating a new backup job requires more effort. You'll need to configure details like scheduling, data selection, backup method, and storage location. Overall, creating backups is considered medium difficulty, while deleting them is easy. The Download VM option is easy to use.
