About

BDRShield is a cloud-managed hybrid backup and cyber-resilience platform designed to help businesses, MSPs, and IT teams protect critical data from ransomware, system failures, and cyber threats. Formerly known as BDRSuite, the platform provides centralized backup management through both cloud-hosted and on-premise console options for flexible deployment. BDRShield supports a wide range of workloads including endpoints, virtual machines, SaaS applications, databases, cloud instances, and physical servers across Windows, Linux, Mac, Microsoft 365, VMware, AWS, and more. The platform includes ransomware-resistant features such as immutable backups, air-gapped storage, anomaly detection, encryption, malware scanning, and automated backup verification. Businesses can store backups locally, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments while managing all operations from a unified console with real-time monitoring and reporting.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • In my work we currently implement Vembu for our customers, and Vembu has greatly improved the level of security for our consumers in general. It is fast, easy to use and has attributes that most exceptional backup solutions also have no major difficulties in using. We and our customers are very happy with Vembu.

Cons

  • After a vembu web server is synchronized with an online account and, for one reason or another, the administrator's requirements to synchronize the server with an additional online account, the administrator has only a few options. It uninstalls and reinstalls the product to change the web server id and synchronizes with an online account or has a technology support to manually transform it into the data source for them. The other option is not saved, so most of the time, administrators will certainly just uninstall and reinstall, which is often turbulent. The recovery of the vembu web server is complex and would also require an administrator in deep knowledge of how to recover the server.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Hello, I am a 75 year old grandma that was desperately seeking backup software to meet my needs while not adding mega stress to my already stress-maxed-out life (lost my husband after a 4 year battle with aggressive dementia). I had specific needs, mainly these: wanted data copied in its own format, wanted to copy to its last main folder and not create the whole path to get there (i.e., pictures, not user/username/pictures), wanted one-way exact copy of data folders, wanted to exclude system files to avoid potential system issues, did not want encryption, wanted multiple backup profiles with some scheduled and some profiles manual, wanted to be able to trust the backup, wanted a log I could view to make sure the backup was good, wanted all source files within selected folders copied including empty folders, wanted files that no longer existed on the source folder in the same place deleted (only maintaining the files in the source folders), wanted a one-time reasonable price and NO subscription... I think I have everything covered. The GOOD NEWS is that SecondCopy does and provides EXACTLY what I needed so I purchased a license, and I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to all family and friends. Thank you, Second Copy! Please note that just because this software was made in heaven for seriously-challenged seniors does NOT mean it does not have advanced features for advanced users. But I will say that this is the ONLY software I could tolerate learning how to configure and use! So, again, thank you to the developers of this software!

Cons

  • Some may be bothered by issues with copying locked or system files (I am told there is a fix), but I was not since my backups are of data. Also, some may be disappointed that it does not provide cloud storage. I was not because I NEVER back up to the cloud.
