A simple suggestion is to visually implement the backup time as far as your physical media.

"There are two primary improvements of the Asigra platform with the recent version 13.1 SP1: Virtualization: a tremendous variety of data protection solutions for virtual machines, and Cloud-2-Cloud for Office 365, Google, Amazon, etc., making this a full package of data protection platform."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."

"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"Asigra's client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
