Our friends at Datto have a new video they’ve posted explaining the differences between backups using an agent and those that are so-called “agentless” backup. StorageCraft ShadowProtect is backup that uses an agent, which is a very stable, reliable way to perform a backup. Our backup agent leaves a very small footprint — so it won’t bog down your network or systems when a backup is running.
As Datto CEO Austin McChord explains in this video, Datto chose the legendary reliability of StorageCraft technology — and our backup agent — when they were designing their BDR solution for some very particular reasons.
And of course we always appreciate kudos from friends. Who doesn’t?
There is much more to the agent based versus agentless debate than what one can see on a five minute video. To learn more about the agent based versus agentless debate, here is a resource that you can use – http://www.asigra.com/pdf/architecture.pdf
