What do you like best about Redstor Backup and Archiving?

Redstor is great for customising your backup to device/data specific requirements. I use or interact with either RedApp, the Storage Platform Console and ESE Client daily to setup and maintain backups for multiple devices which includes servers.

RedApp is customer focussed and a user friendly dashboard for your organisation. Within that you can setup your customers, see an overview of all backups, deploy the ESE Client etc. Integrating Redstor as a cloud backup service to our customers who only used onsite NAS backups was straightfoward, quick and offers a more efficient backup solution which can also run alongside the NAS if they wish. The Storage Platform Console is a great tool to quickly check devices, delpoy the ESE Client with pre-configured account information/requirements and schedule so that Redstor is installed and ready to use instantly. Its great for configuring customers into groups or collections and setting features on a per customer basis in line with the package they purchased. I like that you can also update the account password or create key within the console and that it contains information relating to the setup for that account. The ESE client is easy to install onto devices and configure as the menu options are clearly set out. You're able to change things such as network speed, schedule, local copy, archiving etc. depending on your setup or leave as defaults. You can include/exclude items quickly, change from or to a full system backup, drill down into folders and I find the Instant Data option is a great feature for faster restores. The logs preovided are clear and informative after each backup or task ran.

The Redstor Support team are very friendly, helpful and informative - when we have had to ask for assistance we were always greeted politly and provided steps to take, in a way we'd understand. They provided quick responses and kept in contact until the issue was resolved. I've also had other contact with Redstor employees from marketing and training, again they were very helpful, friendly and provide a great service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redstor Backup and Archiving?

It is more costly than other providers.

Not many reporting options on the console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Redstor Backup and Archiving solving and how is that benefiting you?

Redstor provides a seamless service that doesn't use much CPU, RAM or Disk meaning if needed it can be ran during the day and this doesn't affect server performance. It is providing us a secure, reliable and fast backup solution that is easy to use and manage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Redstor Backup and Archiving?

The interface is definitely one of the best features. On top of that, the application is very easy and simple to use even a customer can use it.

Automatic, encrypted backups, RedStor has been a leader in the industry for a long time.

RedStor's interface is simple to use and to understand. Very easy and quick to implement. Customer support is just top notch.

Integrating RedStor is one of the most simplest things compared to any other backup system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redstor Backup and Archiving?

The cost of per GB struggles to compete with Arconis Cyber Protect. This is correct, but.

Arconis interface and ease of use does not compare. Arconis can be a headache soetimes.

The only other thing I dislike about Redstore is that sometimes with an upgrade, it loses the credentials and has to be completely removed and reinstalled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Redstor Backup and Archiving solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest advantage is automatic backup and archiving and very easy and quick to restore data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Redstor Backup and Archiving?

The system is laid out simply. The functions are intuitive. You can group your clients and customers into different groups. There are limits so you can manage your client's storge. I get daily and monthly reports, as well as my clients, can log in to the system and manage their own storage. The support is great, and easy to log a support request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redstor Backup and Archiving?

The web interface is not where the console is, the functionality is coming, but slow. I use a Mac and thus the console I cannot use on my mac, as it is only windows supported. Online restore would be a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This will solve all your needs, and you will never look back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Redstor Backup and Archiving solving and how is that benefiting you?

I solve backup and business continuity, my clients rely on their data, and it must be there as soon as any failure. I also manage their Microsoft office 365 backups including Teams, SharePoint, One Drive and Exchange mailbox. Data backups are also very important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Redstor Backup and Archiving?

Redstor is ideal for O365, machine, Physical server and Virtual servers. With easy access to monitor and restore without the hassle of going onsite.

Also the biggest benefit is that no equipment is required as most Software these day require a onsite storage and then back to the storage and then to the cloud, where redstor skips all and goes straight to the cloud.

The support team is helpful aswell when assistance is need.

Easy and affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redstor Backup and Archiving?

Reporting is a little vague on the Office 365 end, it does need a little work. Best to be transparent with all errors if we need to troubleshoot. Reporting is something that needs work such as more information if we need to investigate something older than a month or with failed back ups on 365.

Thats about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Redstor Backup and Archiving solving and how is that benefiting you?

Redstor backup is currently helping us achieve our clients needs on a costing matter and on a data secure level. Data is offsite and available when needed to restore.

Redstor also assists clients that cannot afford extra equipment for storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Redstor Backup and Archiving?

Redstor backup does not require any Onsite equipment like most back up solutions. I like that you can register your device and simply run your back ups straight to the cloud instead of running it to a onsite Storage and then to the cloud as most Vendors require this method. TOP TOP TOP!

We use this frequently for our clients and simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redstor Backup and Archiving?

Just the reporting if you require to investigate a little deeper, however the redstor team assist quick enough for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Redstor Backup and Archiving:

Redstor backup and archiving is really reliable. It has not failed on us. Definitely a recommendation to keep all clients Data backed up and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Redstor Backup and Archiving solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly we are managing to solve that clients stress, keeping their minds at ease with backup and our keeping our minds at ease. Having a Redstor backup and archiving tool is probably the best Risk and Disaster management thing to have. It has solved many of problem when it came redoing a corrupted machine or a corrupted database due to loadshedding.

Another benefit is not pushing out clients to buying extra equipment! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Redstor Backup and Archiving?

It's all Cloud-based, allows us to recover up to 30 days of backups and is very easy to use. Give you a daily report of the backups so to check in case of any failures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redstor Backup and Archiving?

Does have glitches on the daily reports, most of which are proven to be nothing but gives you concern when you first see them. You do have to remember to close down the program after doing a restore or it will fail to do a backup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Redstor Backup and Archiving solving and how is that benefiting you?

Previous to Redstor i was manually backing our data and that was stressful and time-consuming and if i was on holiday on ill, the backups would not take place. It has given me complete peace of mind that backups are being done every night and safe in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
