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.

Easy to setup, good support and stable product
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups. Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs. If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.
