	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.
