    All 3 of these backups solutions are very valuable to me. I use Veeam Backup and Replication for my primary onsite backup solution. I use Cloudberry for my File Server backup to AWS because I really like the way it stores the multiple versions of files that are modified. …

    Zerto replication is a lot cheaper than any of the completion, it’s simple to set up and use, requires minimal training for users, and its simple interface and groups using VPG enables a granular setup. It just does what it says and is simple, reliable, and relatively cheap
