What differentiates BackupAssist from other similar products?

I haven't experienced any other tool but the reason we chose this was quite obvious as it was offering us more at a better price as compared to the other Backup solutions available in the market. We all want something that will provide more benefits at a low cost and Backup Assist was exactly something like that and I think this is what separates it too.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Now our data is protected and we are relaxed as we can recover our data from disaster as in case of disaster its settings provide disaster recovery and we can get our data back without any loss. Its storage capacity is amazing as we have the bulk of important data and it never made us feel that it has even affected its storage and we can monitor activity and can get rid of redundant files.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I think there is a need for the maintenance of it as sometimes it behaves in a clunky manner probably because of some bugs so maintenance will help fix it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Nothing could be a better option for us as a Backup Solution and we are satisfied with it.
