What the product covers
The full UrBackup feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

- Client discovery
- Internet mode

People bring UrBackup in for a small office with windows workstations that needs bare metal restore without per seat licensing, schools and labs where machines are re-imaged often and a known good image must be recoverable, backing up a mixed fleet to one server on premises with a web interface non specialists can use, replacing an expiring commercial endpoint backup licence where the budget is the constraint. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to UrBackup are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for UrBackup
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
UrBackup runs on linux, windows, macos, freebsd, and is published by UrBackup of Germany. The full record is on the UrBackup review, and the rest of the category is under best backup tools.
