Hi,
I need so guidance, please.
I’m planning to deploy a free backup solution for my virtual environment and I need your advice. I have the following configuration:
Failover Cluster:
- Two Dell Servers
- OS: Windows 2012 STD
- Each server has two AMD Opteron 4180 6C @ 2.6 GHZ
- 16 GB – RAM (supports 256GB)
- QNAP NAS (CSV)
- It’s hosting a DC, an Exchange 2010 and soon a SharePoint 2013 VM
Standalone Hyper-V:
- Dell Server
- OS: Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter
- It has two Intel Xeon E5520 @ 2.2 GHZ
- 16 GB - RAM
- It’s hosting 3 VMs
In my research I found these apps. All of them are limited in some way but they do the job:
- Veeam Backup Free Edition v7
- Altaro Hyper-V Backup
- Unitrends Enterprise Backup
- PHD Virtual Backup for Hyper-V
- HV Backup from CodePlex
- Windows Server Backup (WSB)
What is your experience with them? What would you recommend?
When it comes to money, which one is more affordable? (In case I want to buy the full version)
Thanks in advanced.
