Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is really straightforward to both deploy and use on a daily basis. the high level of successful restores we have experienced is testament to the quality of the file verification processes and encryption Veeam use within their software. Support is simply excellent should you need to engage them. there is nothing they haven't been able to solve either via phone or email.

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus doesn't allow taking backup of the Meditech HIMS application, due to the unique nature of the database and its functionality. As it's a special case, the vendor supports only a few fully integrated backup solutions which resulted in using Bridgehead as a trustable backup option specific to the application.

I used Clonezilla several times, and while it's very rock solid since it's Linux-based and works very well, it's not for large deployments, and it's more of a one-time use. (You need to take an image before reinstalling something or such.) With Veeam, you can deploy it organization-wide.
