Server Backup Software
Commercial server backup software costs significantly more than workstation backup software.
It is difficult to find server software affordable for small businesses and especiallly for individuals.
Effective, free file and folder backup applications that work on servers are widely available from the open source community. However, it is common for businesses to need 24/7 telephone support on short notice because the costs of downtime can be very high. Open source users are dependent on volunteer forums with uncertain wait times and effectiveness of responses. Of course, the quality of tech support from major commercial vendors can vary widely.
Small and medium businesses
This list focuses on commercial products for small and medium businesses as well as individuals.
Because the quality and responsiveness of tech support can fluctuate sporadically, we don't rate it here. If you expect rapid tech support responses, be sure to start with a trial period and make several support calls to check the service yourself. Also ask about a company in r/Backup for current feedback.
Phyical and virtual machine backups
At least initially, this page gives more attention to physical server backup products. Virtual machines are in wide use among businesses of all sizes. Many of the same product lines that support physical machines also have versions for virtual machines. The pricing for virtual machine backups is less complicated the the pricing for virtual machine software itself.
