How Zmanda helps clients succeed

"Zmanda’s Amanda Enterprise Edition has an attractive GUI and it works well with Linux. I’m able to recover the system using basic Linux tar and gzip commands without Zmanda or Amanda. When it comes to recovering data, you don’t want a lot of dependencies. Every morning, I have peace of mind after looking at the Zmanda backup logs.”
