Very cost-effective and well organized with good compression

It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company. A managerial user who wants more information beyond the operational technician should be able to access it. It could include greater transparency regarding the volume of data trafficked on the network, as well as the expectation of deduplication. A more practical strategy could come with a backup policy model as a suggestion for both large and small companies. A simple suggestion is to visually implement the backup time as far as your physical media.

Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing

In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.

Cons
