Hi everyone,
I’m evaluating backup solutions for our environment, and honestly, I’m hitting walls with most of the tools we’ve tried so far.
The setup is fairly complex and diverse:
- Around 120 VMs split between VMware and Hyper-V, spread across multiple sites
- A handful of physical Linux and Windows servers still in production
- 70TB+ of Microsoft 365 data across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams
- Hybrid storage: some local disk, NAS, cloud (S3-compatible), and SAN
- Proxmox and Nutanix used in R&D, with potential to expand
- Strong compliance requirements and need for immutable backup and granular recovery
- Limited resources for managing heavy infrastructure or additional proxies
Every solution I’ve tested either lacks proper platform coverage, becomes too resource-intensive, or fails to deliver flexible storage and full backup/recovery for everything we need. I’m trying to avoid stitching together 2–3 products just to make this work.
Has anyone here faced similar challenges and found one solution that can truly cover it all, across physical, virtual, cloud, and Microsoft 365, with reasonable resource demands?
Appreciate any real-world input!
