Client backup solution with central management

Superzuber · Oct 8, 2021

Hi folks,
I am looking for recommendations for backup software for clients with central management.
Till now we were successfully using Easeus Backup Workstation for imaging running Windows systems. As the number of computers grows we are looking for some central management. I have tried Easeus management console which is very simple, works well for deploying tasks to multiple computers but lacks some advanced reporting - e.g. if someone uninstalls the client software on the computer or the connection to the central management console/server is broken it will not notify because all the notifications (e-mail) coming from the client.
I was just quickly checking Acronis solutions and they seem to be a bit overkill for what we need.

I've had a lot of success with Macrium products.

Veeam Backup & Replication - maybe a bit overkill - but it gets the job done!

There are a few products. We have been having a lot of issues with acronis. The clusters fail constantly.

Veeam is the way to go if you are serious.
