Limitations 限制
Image backups only work with NTFS formatted volumes and with the Windows client. The drives must be MBR or GPT partitioned, the partition must be a primary one. Dynamic volumes are not supported. Mirrored dynamic volumes work, but are not officially supported. Backup to VHD files only works for volumes with a size of less than 2TB.
Explanation:

The image backup is mainly designed to backup the boot volume (C:) of Windows systems such that they can be brought back quickly e.g. after a hard disk failure or hardware loss. Other data on other volumes should be backed up and restored via file backup. If the server uses ZFS or btrfs as backup storage file system it can backup to raw image files which have no size restriction.

映像檔備份僅支援 NTFS、ZFS、btrfs三種檔案系統
備份成 VHD 格式映像檔最大至 2TB (目前僅支援 VHD)

其他優點
支援多國語言，包括繁中(部分)
Server and client 架構

快速使用步驟

1. 下載 server 端安裝
2. 選擇存放備份目錄
3. 去網頁管理介面設定備份目錄
4. Server 會自動搜尋 client 端
5. 安裝 client 端
   完成 開始備份

簡易實測心得

設定面也相當齊全，包含自動備份規則
傳輸加密規則
備份歸檔
速度限制…. 該有的都有

對比之前介紹的 Bareos
覺得花大把時間、精力根本傻子一樣
