Great Backup Product
Easy to set up and easy to use. After my initial backup of all files, I have it backing up changes during the day and at night. When it is done, it sends me an email. It takes advantage of the features of Amazon S3.

Flexible and easy to use
We evaluated several products to back up our office's Windows File Server. We chose CloudBerry Backup Server Edition because it is both easy to use and feature-rich (for example, it backs up files in use, allows us to limit bandwidth during business hours, provides many options for purging files, encryption).
The other appealing feature of CloudBerry is that it de-couples the backup product from the backups themselves. The backup files reside on S3 with the rest of our assets, streamlining our monthly billing and making things easier to manage.
The backups have been running without issue, and the price point is very appealing.
A nice, functioning, efficient tool!
Have been using it for some time now. The setup was a breeze and I like how discretely it has been doing the backups. Without fuss, everything has been backed up nicely.
Works great - great deal
This works amazingly well and is very full featured. There are many options available and we have not tried them all, but the basic functionality and the features we have tried have all been rock solid. We get great throughput without any issues at all. Simple mode provides a reliable method for syncing files into the cloud without using a proprietary file format.
Simple to use- good for small/medium sized business
This tool is great for a small/medium sized business. It contains much of what you'd expect from a more advanced tool (block level backups, AES 256 encryption, compression, etc), but it presents these features in a very user friendly way. It takes a multithreaded approach to increase performance.
It also has a plethora of different places to store the data, i've never even heard of most of them, there are so many (local disk is of course one of them for local backups). They also seem to keep up with the latest trends (Glacier is already supported).
The only thing to keep in mind is that they chose to use a sqlite database to store their metadata. While this allows them to keep their install simple- I have had conflicts with our server's antivirus software, and it doesn't seem quite as scalable as if they had used something like ms sql, mysql, etc. I don't think it was a bad decision, just something to keep in mind, and something to test.
Great Backup software
I'm using this product on a 2008R2 box I have sitting at home for testing purposes (school related stuff).
It has very nice features such as a scheduler for bandwidth usage & also already implements Amazon Glacier.
It can also give you an estimate of the monthly costs of your backup, which in some cases can be pretty useful (you can also configure a price limit, if the backup is too expensive, it wont start)
This is a complete backup software, but it is still very simple to use.
Support is great too, they answer all questions quickly & precisely.
Great Utility
No sweat, no tears, definitely no blood. Other cloud-backup solutions had failed miserably time and again, to push several hundred gigs worth of Server and shared-drive backups to S3, over a limping broadband connection. CloudBerry didn't drop the connection, managed the bandwidth over the course of a LONG first upload, and did all the features I'd hoped for in the software intuitively but without assuming too much. Great tool, great to use, and I'll be using it more often from now on.
Nice File Backup Utility
I am using this product in conjunction with DriveBender on Windows 7 64bit to replace Windows Home Server 2011. The lack of expandable drive storage in WHS2011 was a deal breaker for me so I needed to try something else out.
I found that DriveBender works perfect for me. I have 10 2TB drives in my tower plus an SSD for my boot drive. The pool of hard drives provides me almost 20TB of storage for all my files. On this pool, I also keep incremental backups of my client computers. I keep all my other files on this pool as well including music, video, game install files, software ISOs, personal documents, photos, etc. I do not use file duplication to maximize space within Drive Bender, so I needed a way to backup my files locally. I found that 2 external 4TB drives connected by USB 3.0 works perfectly using CloudBerry Backup with the local file option.
I have it setup to backup daily when files are added. It hasn't missed a beat, and I feel confident that my files are backed up. Once online storage gets cheaper, and the ISP's make upload speeds legitimate for backing up personal data to the cloud, I will invest in the online services provided through CloudBerry as well. I would love to know that I had onsite and offsite backups being made through one program.
My only con about the program is that it doesn't currently work with CrashPlan, which I find is the most inexpensive option for a home user to keep off-site backups.
Can't fault it and excellent customer service
Have been a user since Jan 2011, has all necessary features, and frequent updates to the software, the GUI is very easy to use.
The reliable software comes with excellent customer service which shows how much they care about their customers.
I would highly recommended their products.
Easy to Use and Reliable
Over the past six months I've tried several different products to backup one of my servers,including Windows Server Backup. Neither worked consistently and were difficult to use. Cloudberry Server Backup is working perfectly and is an inexpensive solution. No need to search further!
