Asigra Cloud Backup vs XSIBackup

Asigra Cloud Backup is a backup service built for managed service providers, covering virtual machines alongside physical file systems, enterprise applications, SaaS services, and databases. Its Tigris system protects VMs on Microsoft Hyper-V Server, VMware vCenter Server, and VMware Cloud Director; VMware VMs can also be replicated between two vCenter servers. DS-Client coordinates backup and recovery over the local network without agents on individual endpoints. A web-based management console schedules operations for Windows, macOS, Linux, Microsoft 365, and VMware servers. Supported SaaS services include Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Google Workspace, while database support includes Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, Oracle MySQL, IBM DB2, and PostgreSQL. Security features include NIST-FIPS 140-certified AES-256 encryption, antimalware scanning during backup and recovery, and access controls using multifactor authentication and multiperson approval. Tigris can run on Windows, Linux, or Mac and use on-premises or public-cloud storage. Pricing is on request; the subscription is pay-as-you-go based on protected source data, with no upfront investment, unlimited retention, restores, and clients.

XSIBackup backs up and replicates virtual machines and host configuration on VMware ESXi, including free and licensed servers. It supports ESXi Free versions 5.5 to 8.0 and runs on Linux in an on-premises, self-hosted setup. Backup options include local and IP destinations, differential copies, replication, and cloud targets using SSH servers. A built-in block-level deduplication engine can write to filesystems mounted over NFS or accessed over SSH. Recovery includes individual-file restores and unlimited restore points across Free, Pro, and DC editions. The comparison lists Synology NAS compatibility when using the root user and XSIDirector support for automated deployments. Remote backup servers can use private-key authentication, and backups can be certified with SHA-1. The Free plan allows local backups up to 100GB. Pro costs 89.00 USD once; DC costs 169.00 USD once. Both allow unlimited VM size when licensed. 33HOPS is out of business and has not accepted new orders since July 15, 2024.
