We use it purely for Hyper-V backup. It’s used to protect our entire server estate. I would give Vembu a ten out of ten. I’ve evaluated other products. I don’t think anybody else has any advantage, certainly in terms of backup, over what Vembu provides.

– Tim Kemp, IT Director


We are a disaster and recovery business that uses this software for our small business clients and protects their data. It has worked tremendously in being able to protect small businesses on a nightly basis and even help them out when they had a minor OR major computer/server issue. Our IT support engineers have said that it is an extremely easy software to install and provide support.

– Juan Gomez, IT Director


Since we started using Vembu on our business, it became so much easier to manage backup jobs and recover files, that we don’t have any plans on changing our backup solution anytime soon. We were using a backup solution that only works with tapes, and it was slow to recover files. Now, with external HDs, its faster and a much easier to recover anything.

Top 5 Reasons to Switch to Vembu Over Nakivo

1. An all-encompassing Data Protection solution

All IT based organizations need a data protection solution to secure their environment. The organizations could have a number of servers in different environments based on their size and requirement. Considering this, they will need a single solution to backup machines running in a heterogeneous environment. Deploying a completely virtual or a completely physical solution in such cases is not practically feasible. Also, setting up different backup solutions for different environments rises the managing complexity. That being said, Vembu has designed a single and comprehensive solution – Vembu BDR Suite to protect critical data across diverse IT environments like physical, virtual and cloud (SaaS applications).

2. Keep your business up and running in < 15 mins

Recovery is the critical part of every business that performs data backup. Vembu proposes multiple recovery options to serve for different business needs, along with the flexibility to restore the backup data on any environment (virtual or physical). Vembu BDR Suite addresses this issue by providing flexible migration plans like V2V, P2V, and V2P. Also, with Quick VM Recovery option users can instantly restore the data by booting the backup data as a VM on any hypervisor like VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM. This enables businesses to recover critical data in no time with an industry-stipulated RTO of less than 15 minutes. Also, Vembu allows restoration of files/Apps in seconds from an image-based backup, providing file and application-level granular restores easily.

3. Be Resilient with an Efficient DR Plan

In addition to having an on-premise backup solution, it is also advisable to replicate all your data to an offsite location. This ensures that your data can be recovered even if the whole of your production site is affected due to some major disaster. Vembu helps you achieve this through its Disaster Recovery products OffsiteDR and Vembu CloudDR, thus supporting Hybrid Deployment Setup. Further, Vembu also allows data archival on tape drives. Thus, with Vembu BDR Suite you can implement the best Backup & DR plan in your organization that lets you have 3 copies of backup data in 2 different location – onsite & offsite (own-datacenter/cloud) and Tapes.

4. Scale as you grow

Data retention is the single most important need for any IT organization. Depending on the regulations, organizations may be required to retain months or even years of data. This ultimately gives rise to storage scaling issues. They should have the flexibility to scale their storage without any restrictions on the type of storage device used. Vembu provides such a solution by allowing users to add and configure different types of storage like Local Drives, NAS, SAN and Tape of any size to their infrastructure. Vembu also provides in-built compression and deduplication to further reduce the storage consumed thus allowing you to manage the storage efficiently.
