Advanced Vault Disadvantages




For Imaging agent, every backup is a snapshot of the entire C-drive.

The impact:
 User collects tremendous amount of junk data via internet temp files,
cookies, adware, spyware, youtube, video, audio, photos, downloads,
internet cache, system cache, etc.
 Non business critical data cluttering the backup process, network traffic and
misuse of valuable storage.
Cannot select specific folders or files within the root directory for backup.
Agent for folder/file level backup costs extra - $500/server and $75/PCs
No filters, no quotas, limited backup policy
 can limit agent to keep e.g. 1 week or month of backup only
 User backing up personal data – family photos and videos and mp3s….
