R1Soft Server Back Manager (SBM) vs. Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is an extremely versatile backup software so it can be used in a variety of different ways. We have it running on some user machines that require it as the user deals with sensitive data that cannot be lost and Windows based servers ranging from server 2012 to 2025.

Incentivized

• Relatively speedy backups for a traditional backup solution
• Good efficiency solutions used to shrink backup sizes
• Robust synchronization capabilities for offsite backups
• Veeam can perform a full metal restore of a physical server
• If needed, Veeam can convert a backup of a physical server to a virtual server

Incentivized

• Stop the backup job from the console instead of having to stop from the client.
• Don't consume too many resources while taking a backup.

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is really straightforward to both deploy and use on a daily basis. the high level of successful restores we have experienced is testament to the quality of the file verification processes and encryption Veeam use within their software. Support is simply excellent should you need to engage them. there is nothing they haven't been able to solve either via phone or email.

I used Clonezilla several times, and while it's very rock solid since it's Linux-based and works very well, it's not for large deployments, and it's more of a one-time use. (You need to take an image before reinstalling something or such.) With Veeam, you can deploy it organization-wide.

Incentivized

• Allowed us to move from usind two different backup providers to Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows exclusively, improving our costs considerably
• Verified backups - before there was no checks or verification on the backups
• Much more cost effective cloud storage than the provider we moved from
