We were planning on creating a VM on the virtual server and restoring to it from a backup and then removing the physical vm server or leaving it only for quickbooks.

This sounds like a perverse incentive to just RAID 0 everything :)

Wait, so you get a performance bonus if you don't spend money you need to? Every product I've every worked with would go ahead and throw a ZIP or rar into a backup file, and you can CERTAINLY encrypt compressed data.įoxyRayne wrote:We are a small business with less than 50 users and a tight budget so upgrade budget is slim to cut personnel merit raises and performance goal bonuses. I've never heard of a real backup product failing for this reason. Is that product certified for AD recovery (and more important have you tested a full recovery ever?).įoxyRayne wrote:Current problem: Quickbooks and EaseUS both use compression already and SyncBackPro fails to encrypt/transfer since it cannot zip a compressed file to encrypt it.
