Altaro Hyper-V backup

[CougTek]

Anyone ever used Altaro's Hyper-V backup software before? That's what we're eyeing to copy our VMs on our new virtualized setup. We plan to buy the Unlimited Edition. Of course, we'll try the free version before, but I would appreciate any feedback you guys would care to give.

As long as you're using at least Server 2012, the native Windows backup tool allows backing up individual VMs without any special software or preparation. In Server 2008, you have to go through a bunch of extra crap to enable VSS through Hyper-V, but 2012 just says "Hey, which VMs did you want to back up?"

So I guess the question is, what more would Altaro be giving you?
