General Questions

Hi guys,


If someone can help would be awesome:


About Altaro Physical:


- What granularity does it support? Can I restore single files? Can I restore individual disk drive?

- I have to install Altaro component in all Physical servers?

- Can you make offsite backups like Altaro Vm backup?


Thanks in advance.

Best Answer

Currently we support restoring the full machine to a VM, or restoring an individual disk to a VHD.

We do not currently offer file level restore but I have added your vote to that feature request - thanks for the feedback!


Yes Altaro Physical Server Backup needs to be installed on each physical server you wish to backup. There is currently no central management in the freeware edition but this will be added later this year in the paid editions, with full central management being done through Altaro CMC.


Offsite backups are indeed on our roadmap, but I cannot offer an ETA as yet, stay tuned :)

Thanks for the help Matt!!!

Hi Matt, would it be possible to add another vote from myself for the feature request for file level restore please?


We are in dire need of a replacement for Altaro Backup FS, however we would like to stay with Altaro for our Physical fileserver backups!


Thanks

Hi all, Hope you are all healthy and safe during these uncertain and unprecedented time. - What’s the first thing that must happen before we sell the Altaro product. - The difference between a reseller and a MSP - How long does the process take to install all users onto the database or cmc - What will the customer expect from a service level of an MSP - If i have 7 servers then I wanna back them up, where is Altaro software installed - On a physical server that runs VMs only as a agent list setup, is the any license required for that and where those that go to. - What capacity of that hyper v is allowed on Azure - When running a backup for a customer, where does his data go to. - If a customer buys Altaro VM backup license for Unlimited Edition and Standard Edition license where is there data sorted.( do they need to buy dedicated storage or how does it work) -In terms of the licenses if a clients buys Unlimited plus Edition do they get free storage.
