BDRSuite is a comprehensive backup solution that helps you safely backup your workloads regardless of where they are located, be it Linux, Windows, VMware, Hyper-V, or the cloud – you can do it.
I have already covered several articles on understanding system requirements, installing the software, and performing backups from different platforms. Many times, I pointed out the fact that you can use BDRSuite for free in your home-labs.
In this article, I will share the differences between the free and commercial versions of BDRSuite. Let’s get into it.
