We are using Vinchin Backup in multiple environments with a very positive experience.
It probably doesn't have all the features of other more famous software (for ex. Veeam), but it has a simple and clear license model, it has all major features you need, and it's easy to install and maintain.
Pros
Easy to install, interface user friendly.
It covers most of the features you need in a backup solution.
Technical support is very efficient, they answer very quick and the operators are technically prepared.
It supports Sangfor HCI platforms.
Cons
The software miss some features like:
- allow easy monitoring of backup jobs from external tools (like SNMP for example). Actually it supports only e-mail notifications.
- It does not allow to schedule a job to run when another job finish.
- It does not support VM replication

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.

Rock solid, simple to user, good pricing, support really reactive, easy to setup (virtually od phisically). All the backup feature, archiving, cloud backup, deduplication and now also Files Server and DB backup!
Cons
If I want to find a weakness? the lack of some advanced feature that it's still only available for VMware (like VM verification lab)

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.

A few months ago, while the Exchange ProxyLogon Attacks, Vinchin helped me restore our Exchange Server in different Versions. Every Backuprestore creates a new VM automaticly. So i was able to switch between day-versions for running testscripts to find IoCs and export overwritten logs.
Pros
I decided for Vinchin Backup and Recovery to save time for me for writing and for my collegues for explaining bash scripts. Vinchin gives me a nice and easy to use GUI to manage backup and restore processes for our oVirt VMs.
Cons
The backup log ist not showing the task duration for a single VM.
Sometimes Vinchin is not able to delete a backup snapshot (not furter investigeted yet - maybe my fault)
Since the update to v6 the backupjob duration increased by about 6 hours (not furter investigeted yet - maybe my fault)
