What differentiates Arcserve Backup from other similar products?

we looked at arcserve because at the time it offered built in support for the existing LTO3 tape library however this is being used less as there is just too much data to backup to tape

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Instant Virtual

What do you dislike most about this product?

Having to load up the Bear Metal Recovery ISO to do a full recovery of a server, it would be good to have the option to recover the whole machine from the Arcserve agent

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Its is easy to use, be careful of the licensing as we use a per core license and have to have 4 cores to cover our 2 main hypervisors. I think they have changed the licensing options available now so it may have better options for your company. Veaam is also a good option so it may be worth looking at both.

Pros

Trustworthy
Caring
Respectful
Helps Innovate

Cons

Slower Product Innovation
Vendor's Interest First
Under Delivered

Pros

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Virtual Machine Backup Automatically discovers and protects VMs as they come online, move, and change. Production VMs are replicated to a secondary data store.

Backup Automation Solution automates backup, recovery and remediation tasks using RestAPI and CLI to integrate with 3rd party solutions, reduce cost and enforce standards.

File Explorer Granular Restore Individual files can be located and restored from backup media without the need for full system mounting and restore.

Deduplication Implementation Deduplication of redundant data blocks is implemented by the solution. Deduplication can be at source, target, or globally (source and target).

Replication for High Availability Beyond secondary copy backup, the solution also manages replication of primary data host-to-host and site-to-site for live failover and high availability.

Backup Monitoring and Reporting Backup and replication are continually monitored for status and effectiveness. Detailed reporting is available on successful and unsuccessful operations.

Replication for Long Term Storage and Disaster Recovery Onsite backup data is replicated and stored to a public cloud (AWS, Azure). Can also include restore-to-cloud capabilities for Disaster Recovery as a Service.

Physical Backup for Multiple Platforms Backs up data and system info for non-virtualized systems. Primarily Windows and Linux servers but also, potentially, AIX, Unix and others.

Integration With Storage Arrays Integrates with APIs from major storage vendors (NetApp, HP, Dell EMC) to leverage capabilities in these arrays such as data snapshots and replication.

Application Awareness Application consistent backup and granular restore for application data from core applications such as MS SQL, Oracle, MS Exchange, MS SharePoint.

Backup of Cloud Based Data In addition to targeting backups to the cloud, the solution also has the capability to back up primary data and services already in the cloud.
