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.

Pros

I 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.

Cons

It'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.

Overall, Vinchin offers solid, friendly backup solutions. It supports multiple environments (physical, virtual, cloud) and provides efficient features. There are some drawbacks such as ransomware detection. Despite these, it is a reliable and flexible option for most data protection needs.

Pros

What I like most about Vinchin is its combination of ease of use, flexibility, and costs. The product supports physical, virtual, and cloud environments, and offers efficient backup options like incremental backups and compression.

Cons

Unlike some other backup platforms, Vinchin doesn't include ransomware detection or immutable backup, which are becoming more critical in today's cybersecurity solutions.

Great Integration Options

Reviewed on 2024/04/24

Pros

I recently started using Vinchin for my backup and disaster recovery needs, and I'm thrilled with its flexibility. One of the standout features is the platform integration; it seamlessly supports various hypervisors like VMware, Hyper-V, ZStack, and XenServer. This makes it incredibly easy to manage backups across my diverse infrastructure without having to switch between different tools. This level of versatility is exactly what I was looking for, and it's made my backup management much more streamlined and efficient. Highly recommended!

Cons

I only wished all the platforms are included in the Standard License, but for platforms like ZStack, you need to use the Enterprise license.

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.

Pros

Vinchin 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.

Cons

I have no negative comments about Vinchin solution, which works well for us. But it would be good if they have gfs retention policy.

Best backup tool ever

Reviewed on 2022/06/24

Pros

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.

Cons

There is really nothing to dislike as of now for virtual machine backup. Yet I would like to have OS backup option if possible.

Our tests are currently ongoing. I can say that the first experience was excellent. Finally, I am still in the discovery phase, as we have also received training on this subject.

Pros

I met Vinchin this year and a friend recommended it. I had some trouble with the first installation, but that may be my inexperience. In the ongoing process, I had a great experience, especially with online support.

The most excellent feature compared to other competitors is the addition of virtual servers and machines in a very short time. Also you have a very simple panel for backup.

Cons

The initial setup phase is quite difficult and complex. This area can be further developed.
