Continuous backup ensures data safety and seamless operation
One of the most valuable features of Carbonite Safe Backup is its ability to support versioning, which allows me to restore previous versions if I accidentally mess up the data. It works silently in the background, and when needed, it's readily available. The seamless operation, 'set it and forget it,' ensures ease of use without causing system issues or interactions. Additionally, the continuous backup mode functions flawlessly.

This is a recurring investment, and the customers have to pay for it every year. Druva is also yet to develop the channel and the channel or partner commitment."
