Restoration setup streamlines backup management and user-friendliness improves interactions
I find restoration and setup to be the most valuable features because they are easy to use, easy to find, and easy to set up for the first time. Restoration allows me to recover a single file or a whole library or folder quickly, with the option to restore to either the original location or a new location. The latest updates have improved user-friendliness, especially for business-to-business interactions, enabling me to handle backup restorations and setups efficiently for my customers.

Cons
