For companies where the network is managed and run by non-technical staff, a product like GFI Backup 2010 has a lot to recommend it. Ease of use is the key benefit with, once it’s been configured, very little expertise required to manage the backup process on a day to day basis. Data recovery is straightforward too, so we’d have no hesitation recommending it to small businesses looking for a simple and affordable backup and recovery solution. Unfortunately, the package does lack a few options which would make us hesitate before recommending it in more complex situations. The lack of support for Exchange and other SMTP mail servers is a major omission here as is the lack of support for bare metal recovery. Unfortunately, both are possible using alternative products, many of which rival GFI backup 2010 both on ease of use and price.
