Cons
"Stability.""If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear.""It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once.""Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on.""Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't.""The scalability of the solution is limited.""To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time.""The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
