It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running.""The one area that needs to improve is the pricing.""If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite.""The product needs to improve its support.""It would be good if bare metal backups were possible.""The user quota is an area that needs to be improved.""This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
