About

SIOS DataKeeper is a host‑based, block‑level replication solution that delivers real‑time, synchronous or asynchronous redundancy for Windows Server environments, integrating seamlessly with Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC). It enables "SANless" clusters—eliminating dependency on shared‑storage arrays—by replicating data across local, virtual, or cloud servers, including VMware, Hyper‑V, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, while offering optimized performance without requiring hardware accelerators or compression devices. Once installed, it provides a new SIOS DataKeeper Volume resource in WSFC, supporting geographically dispersed clusters via cross‑subnet failover and configurable heartbeat parameters. Built-in WAN optimization and efficient compression maximize bandwidth use over local and wide‑area networks.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to understand and use. Reliable backups and restores. Very good and accessible support.
  • Easy to use software whether it is for File restoration or a complete VM. Back-up checks and reporting tools give me detailed information about any possible concerns. The software saves me a lot of time and is well worth a try if you are looking for a new back-up software for your VM's.
  • Simple to use Reasonable Price Reliable Excellent Support

Cons

  • Error messages could be a bit clearer maybe. The support handles them so it's not that important though.
  • Loading big images from olders dates takes some time to load.. coffee time!
  • I don't have any cons that i can think of.
