tinkererguy Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Like many of you, I've relied on Microsoft Windows based home server products for 7 or 8 years now. And I still like it, but there have been bumps in the road lately, even with R2. So I recently took notice of this: http://go.veeam.com/endpoint It does bare metal restores, and interesting that they're "paying" superstar beta testers with 6 Surface Pro 3 tablets. Any of you tried this yet? As for me, still awaiting my beta approval/download instructions. An excerpt from their announcement here: http://www.veeam.com/blog/announcing-veeam-endpoint-backup-free.html Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE is a product that allows you to backup your Windows-based computers to an internal or external hard drive, a NAS share or a Veeam Backup Repository. It writes the backups in VBK format, which is the same format as Veeam Backup & Replication. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Interesting Tinkerguy. I assume you're looking at this as a potential replacement for WHS*? *I'm using WHS as a general term for any of the MS products that include the WHS style client backup feature.

schoondoggy Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 We are a distributor of Veeam, one of my engineers worked under NDA on this. That's about all I can say for now. He did smile when I asked about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoondoggy Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Although free is nice, is it better than this at $23 per machine: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/brh/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikon Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I just wish there was another SIS option that isn't enterprise class, with enterprise type pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I just put this in shownotes for next week. I signed up for Veeam but I haven't been able to find the actual beta download! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppapete Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I signed up. So this is just like acronis only free! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technogod Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I wouldn't trust my data to a Beta I'd choose Acronis TI 2014 over Paragon Backup & Recovery 15 Home. Acronis seems to be much more user friendly and it has saved me more times than I can count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I haven't used Paragon, but I sure don't find Acronis user friendly in any sense of the world. If Paragon is worse that's pretty abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
