We had to find "corporate grade" solution tailored for our needs. And that's the point Storware shows up with a solution. It's easy to configure and setup, does not need Windows host - works great as virtualized (VM) node as well as mixed - virtualized node with node on physical server (our setup). Storware Backup and Recovery has simple and clear GUI to manage backup and recovery process. From late 2020 we are satisfied clients/users of this solution, and during this period we received fixes on a regular basis on triggered by our actions.
