Very efficient backup tool with good price
We have 100 Xenserver vms run on our environment, given the popularity of Xenserver, it's not difficult to find a reliable backup vendor, but what stumps us is a comprhensive one with resonable price and reasurring protection guarantee. Vinchin happens to be the one fits our standards. Bitdetector, node expansion and data deduplication, all these technologies save a lot space and cost for us, not to mention the archive to cloud and offsite backup copy features, they can be strong support against disasters and accidents. And another one we choose it because Vinchin charges reasonably.
PROSVinchin has flexible installation options as a physical or virtual machine, the ease of deployment, and reliable backup strategies, all of them make it works really great with Xenserver. I like the agentless and lan-free backup for there's more reqiurement for agent and that makes things easier. But best of all, its customizable backup jobs would do everything it can to save storage and speed the whole process up. And the instant recovery is trully amazing, I like it very much.
CONSI have no negative comments about Vinchin solution, which works well for us. But it would be good if they have gfs retention policy.

Upgrades are easy
Great product. I've been using it in my home lab for 2 years and its been great. Backing up NAS shares, Windows Servers and VMware servers are all easy to setup and automatic scheduling and notifications work great.
PROSI had a two year old version and needed to upgrade. It was easy to find the patch files and apply them and my existing backups are accessible and my schedule just continued so that is a success.
CONSIt's a newer product, and although the basics work great for me, they are adding features every year, and I hope to see more like automatic drive rotation coming soon.

Very powerful backup and recovery tool
Overall I'm very satisficed especially the cross platform restoration. Currently I'm implementing backup from VMware vSphere on production server and restore to DR site which is using Sangfor HCI. This is a very good feature where users now will have something similar to "OPEN" networking where users is no longer limited by Hypervisor brand and platform.
PROSEasy install, configuration and restoration. It also provide V2V cross platform restoration where other backup and recovery software missing. With this cross platform restoration, users will not limit again by hypervisor platform. We can implemented Microsoft Hyper-V as production host and VMware vSphere as disaster recovery host.
CONSMissing replication feature where most of the data protection software now will have it.

Powerful backup tool for multiple platforms, including Sangfor and VMware
We are using Vinchin Backup in multiple environments with a very positive experience. It probably doesn't have all the features of other more famous software (for ex. Veeam), but it has a simple and clear license model, it has all major features you need, and it's easy to install and maintain.
PROSEasy to install, interface user friendly. It covers most of the features you need in a backup solution. Technical support is very efficient, they answer very quick and the operators are technically prepared. It supports Sangfor HCI platforms.
CONSThe software miss some features like: - allow easy monitoring of backup jobs from external tools (like SNMP for example). Actually it supports only e-mail notifications. - It does not allow to schedule a job to run when another job finish. - It does not support VM replication
Reasons for switching to Vinchin Backup & Recovery
Inefficient license model, expensive, missing Sangfor support.

Review by ion2s System Administrator
A few months ago, while the Exchange ProxyLogon Attacks, Vinchin helped me restore our Exchange Server in different Versions. Every Backuprestore creates a new VM automaticly. So i was able to switch between day-versions for running testscripts to find IoCs and export overwritten logs.
PROSI decided for Vinchin Backup and Recovery to save time for me for writing and for my collegues for explaining bash scripts. Vinchin gives me a nice and easy to use GUI to manage backup and restore processes for our oVirt VMs.
CONSThe backup log ist not showing the task duration for a single VM. Sometimes Vinchin is not able to delete a backup snapshot (not furter investigeted yet - maybe my fault) Since the update to v6 the backupjob duration increased by about 6 hours (not furter investigeted yet - maybe my fault)
Reason for choosing Vinchin Backup & Recovery
Vinchin works on Hypervisor Level. Intalling Software on VMs is unneccesary. Adding new VMs to a existing Backupjob is very easy.
Reasons for switching to Vinchin Backup & Recovery
We switched the complete infrastructure from HyperV to oVirt. Veeam was not able to handle RHEV on Hypervisor Level.

The most easy-to-use backup tool ever.
With the help of Vinchin Backup & Recovery, our whole IT team now feel rather relieved when it comes to data protection. Through a centralized web console, no matter how complicated and large the production environment can be, backup jobs on any VM can always be easily deployed with just a few clicks, bringing much convenience for us to better carry forward other essential work tasks, let alone the valuable benefits we've got from many other useful features like instant restore and file-level restore for fast and accurate data recovery.
PROSThe simple agentless backup compatible with most virtual platforms really impresses us a lot, which requires much less deployment cost than legacy solutions, saving us multiple times than before to achieve efficient data protection.
CONSMost of our demands on VM data protection have been solved, but it'll be even better if it could support CDP in the future. We feel how Vinchin continues to improve their product through each update, and I believe we'll get the service from them very soon.
Reason for choosing Vinchin Backup & Recovery
It easy to use and not expensive.
Reasons for switching to Vinchin Backup & Recovery
It more easy and more feature.

Best backup tool ever
Vinchin is the easiest yet most powerful and productive backup software I've ever used. The informative and simple management UI interface catches my eyes when I first use it. So I immediately started to test the features since every feature seems to be easy to find and config. Turns out it runs just as expected. The intelligent backup strategies with optional time scheduling. It's definitely the best backup tool ever.
CONSThere is really nothing to dislike as of now for virtual machine backup. Yet I would like to have OS backup option if possible.
Reason for choosing Vinchin Backup & Recovery
We choose vinchin for its profession and good price. As a multi-hypervisor environment, we have oVirt and vmware to run our business. We've used the software for several years, they didn't have v2v at first, but they listed to what we said, so the latest version attaches v2v for convenience. We could see how it keeps up with the time and user needs. Another reason for us to prefer vinchin is that it's really easy to use and efficient. It centralizes the backup tasks (AND the v2v task, if needed) in one UI interface. It's the best backup software we've used and we'll carry on with it.

The perfect compromise to backup a mixed Virtual environment
We have been using Vinchin for 2 months and we are very satisfied .. We would probably need more training videos on specific type of hypervisors. But the overall experience is great...
PROS- The ability to manage different type of Hypervisor - The web Visualization interface ( The most beautiful visual Monitoring interface I have seen ).. - The features offered ... - The performance and the simplicity of the backup process -- And definitely the update process directly from the web console .
CONS- Still some improvement to do in the "File backup management" ( not flexible enough ) - Admin cannot interact with file backup agents directly...
Reason for choosing Vinchin Backup & Recovery
Veam at that period was available only for Hyper-v and Vmware. Our environment was heavily based on 65% Xenserver and 35% Vmware plus some physical machines... The best choice for Price/Performance/Features/Versatility Ratio was VINCHIN.
Reasons for switching to Vinchin Backup & Recovery
We have been using Xen orchestra for a year+. But on the long run we realize that we needed a software for both our Xenserver and our Vmware environments.
