      Looks like we can manage URB via CLI too.

        It's been a while since I've given URBackup a go. I'll spin up an instance of it in my lab and see how well it works.

        I know that it can work a lot like CrashPlan too... Your clients do NOT have to be onsite (or on the same IP subnet) for URBackup to work. IIRC, you specify the IP address / FQDN of the host you want the backups to go to.

          @dustinb3403 I have not used this product, but it sounds like something I need to review.

            Wondering if it could replace our Tivoli endpoint backup.

              I'd really consider it in a lot of situations, let me know how your review goes.

                You can use this for endpoint or server backups, it's capable of file and whole image based backups. It has a separate recovery medium to use from CD or USB as well.

                It seems to cover the entire range of things that most places would need.

                How it performs on huge systems is what I wonder. 100TB of data etc.

                      It worked great on the web interface but it was for a small non profit organization so it works and I believe it is still working. At the time I didn't think of this limitations:

                          No, it is all inclusive with Linux and Mac too.

                                I'm actually testing out the file level backups now. Throwing ~400 GB at it to see what happens.

                                    Yeah, that is probably why.

                                      It shoud be noted that limitation is only for the Image based backups.

                                        Why VHD instead of VHDX? Better yet, why not use qcow2 or raw images?

                                            Last time I used UrBackup was trying to replace Amanda Backup and Bacula.

                                            Did you succeed?

                                            It worked great on the web interface but it was for a small non profit organization so it works and I believe it is still working. At the time I didn't think of this limitations:

                                            0_1520611238723_2018-03-09_1100.png

                                            Is UrBackup more geared toward Windows?

                                            I think he was referring to the 2TB limitation for VHD files?

                                            Why VHD instead of VHDX? Better yet, why not use qcow2 or raw images?

                                            Dev here. It can backup to raw image files and there is no 2TB restriction then, but you need to use either ZFS or btrfs as file system for the backup storage (with Linux or FreeBSD/FreeNAS).
                                            You'd want to store the backups on a file system that can compress data anyway, so I recommend using either of those two.
