Not really meant as a backup tool, it's a management tool that just exposes the existing backup techology.
Even worse, just a wrapper for exiting tech - yeah way over priced.
For existing tech too!
those pesky letters have been missing all day.

Good points all! Makes sense considering I'm going to be sticking with the free version myself...

Same as physical. It's a "per OS" license model.

@scottalanmiller I'm not an expert on SC which is why I'm asking the questions. I just don't know how I'd restore a VM from SC. Even the link you posted earlier explains it. But not having seen it happen/done makes me uncomfortable.
Even now with the videos, you should try out their tools with what you have to do a test restore or two. You want the process to be tested and you to be comfortable with it so that when the time comes you have confidence.

I have seen a fair number of people take the "if it should work, that's good enough" approach. I don't get it, especially with regards to business continuity. I want to have done the fire drill a coupe of times before the fire happens. I think that's why they do fire drills...

One of the most important steps of taking backups is testing them. Not just the processes, but that is how you verify that the backups are being taken correctly too.
