Carbonite Server Reviews & Product Details

I have been a Carbonite Safe user for years, so when I needed to back up an additional Server, Carbonite Server was a logical choice. It was easy to add the additional server to my account and there was a minimal learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not see a downside to using the Carbonite server. Once you understand the method of backup, it is easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The positive aspects of the Carbonite server are that recovery of any file or job can be made depending on the retention configuration. During a disaster recovery testing period, the backup replication job does not have to be stopped while the restored data is current from the last backup (can be same day) and Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dislikes of the Carbonite server are the lack of reporting functions and the lack of a user-friendly view of the replication job configuration.

Recovery is multistreaming; jobs can run parallel but bottleneck the network if network speed configuration is not considered.

And lastly, for IBMi recovery, much of the OS environment needs to be functional to communicate with the vault replicated data, so other means of recovery must be considered to bring the OS env operational. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ability to choose how much to backup. You can choose certain files or folders or you can choose a complete image backup which gives you the ability to completely restore it even to a different physical server or virtual hypervisor.

Like that it has an onprem option and the cloud optino Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is slow to backup so it's not as efficient as other systems. Not a fan of the annual contract which makes it difficult to migrate away from him. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great Product Lifecycle with awesome Support system. Migration using the tool is super easy and errors are rare and far fetched. Our Customers are a happy bunch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Licensing Portal could be bit easier to navigate, specially when we are re-assigning the licenses to our team members. Support team is helpful, but at times, it becomes cumbersome to navigate and get access to licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use cloud backup of our important data and files. Retrieval of files is easy and fast. I get daily updates about my backs so monitoring them is as easy as quickly viewing an email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'll be picky first in that I wish the file retrieval window was able to be resized. There is a scroll bar, but if you have many nested folders with long names, it is annoying to move the scroller multiple times just to find one file. Also, we had an issue where someone at our company left, for invoicing, the other admins on the account were not contacted and once our account fell into a delinquent state (net 30), all of our data was immediately removed and deleted. This caused a huge headache and a lot of time to get everything set back up and re-seeded. This could have easily been avoided if all the other contacts were actually contacted and if our data would not have been immediately destroyed and deleted. We were only a few days outside of the renewal window when all of this we discovered. It was such a headache, we almost decided to go with another company since after we paid, we were then treated as a completely new client even though we had been using Carbonite for a few years.

Centralized backup management both locally on the server and in the cloud. Web portal makes management and restoration straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Generates errors that aren't always easy to troubleshoot and remediate. Director software remains somewhat clunky with a considerable learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From a single console you can manage and monitor backup copies of one or more PCs or servers.

Good activity notification service.

Wide choice for the creation of policies for copying and retention of data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no Italian translation of the management console. For me it is an important option, even if not a fundamental one.

Data recovery isn't possible if the PC or server is turned off (in the mode provided by EVault). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
