Unitrends Redefines "Free" Virtual Backup
-
Unitrends Free Backup:
What's Under the Hood
• FREE vSphere and Hyper-V VM Backup—Hypervisor level protection for vSphere and Hyper-V for up to 1TB of production VM data.
• Unlimited VMs and Sockets—no limits on the number of VMs or sockets protected by Unitrends Free.
• Cloud backup to AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Google Nearline for offsite disaster recovery.
• Instant VM Recovery—Quickly run a virtual machine directly from a backup to reduce downtime. Additionally, you can use Instant VM Recovery to spin up copies of your virtual machines for recovery verification or test and development purposes.
• Automated Daily Scheduling—Set it and forget it scheduling with daily recovery points keeps you protected, even when you’re not around.
• Fast, Incremental Forever Backups—Keep your environment protected EVERY DAY. Changed-block tracking and incremental forever backups ensure your backups complete fast and only process changed data after the first backup, so you can get backups done every day without a ton of storage.
• Unitrends Community Integration—Free forum support from the Unitrends Community. Directly integrated into the user interface, you can search the forum and work with our community to help each other and earn great prizes and rewards. -
Downloading Now.....

Awesome. They will be very happy about that.

This will beat Veeam's free solution for the SMB market simply due to the fact that schedule backups will work. Basically the complete Unitrends experience with a 1TB limit?
-
Yep. This is great. Beta? I'm Downloading now and hoping it's HTML5 instead of flash now.

I'll be testing it out within a few days. this whole packing the house to move thing is highly disruptive.Full disclosure: I have always used Veeam over Unitrends for the paid solutions due to pricing.
This may well disrupt that. Almost 100% of my client base will not need more than 1 TB of backup storage.

it's filling up in here. -
I guess everyone is downloading. It's running slow on the DL speeds for me. haha.

Sweetness!

Pretty sure tons of people are. It's gone out to ML and Twitter already and there is a packed room of people at SpiceWorld discussing it. Most of them have laptops so there are a lot of people grabbing it.

Download speeds are all over the place.... Maybe it's popular?

That would be my guess.

Well yeah. I'd love to see a list of the concurrent downloads

That'd be a great marketing tool!

So you no longer delpoy the OVF directly.. You even get to set options before it is even deployed. More Screenshots coming.

Looks like you don't need to even add local space directly to the UEB anymore if you are using some kind of network storage for backups which is nice (aside from the OS space of course)

That would be great for installing to a VM and having backups go to a NAS device or something out on the network.

What connection options exist? Haven't had a chance to install to look yet. NFS, CIFS, iSCSI?

Nice, that is quite flexible.
