plan comparison
The main difference between the VIPBackup Premium Edition and the Home Edition is that the Home Edition has a simpler, more basic interface and lacks certain business-class features found only in the Premium Edition (e.g. the Home Edition lacks support for UNIX/Solaris/Netware, MS Exchange, MS SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, Lotus Notes etc.) The following is a more detailed comparison between the two editions:

features planned for the future
The VIPBackup client software and service is continually being improved. The following are just some of the great new features you'll see in future versions:
- "Bare metal" backup / restore - if you happen to have a complete system meltdown, there is no need to re-install the OS/applications with this feature. Optionally restore your whole system "from scratch".
- More improvements are always in the works!
