Features and Benefits

Designed to have a low footprint on CPU, bandwidth and storage usage, employing innovative and industry-leading technologies, Backup & Recovery is designed to have minimal impact on your systems and network performance.

The tables below list the most important features and benefits of Backup & Recovery:

Feature Set	Features	Benefits
True Delta Technology	True Delta Technology reduces backup volume Incremental backups only include block level changes You only backup the part of the file that has changed, not the whole document each time	<1% a day prevents using too much bandwidth to send to Backup & Recovery cloud storage
		<1% a day prevents using excessive cloud storage to store daily backups
		<1% a day prevents storing more than 100% of the selected data
Security	Client-side encryption	128 bit AES encryption, standard protocol used for all secure web transactions today
	Client-side encryption	Before sending, the data is encrypted. No need for an extra secure connection or extra security on your storage
	No cloud decryption	There is no decryption on the storage
Backup & Recovery Client	Client-side delta discovery	Fast discovery of the changes in directories and even within files, reduce backup windows up to 10 times
	Client-side deduplication	Deduplication on a very high level, block based. Prevents sending and storing data unnecessarily
	Client-side compression	Prevents sending and storing more data than needed
	Client-side cabinet caching	Before sending data to the cloud, it is cached client-side. This greatly reduces bandwidth load, files stored in the cloud and also the CPU overhead required
	CPU optimized client	Performing the backup takes less than 10% of a typical CPUs capacity
Documents Edition for Workstations or Laptops (Windows & Macs)	Fully automated configuration	Simply enable for the workstation, no further configuration is required
	Backs-up selection twice per day	Automatically backs-up data overnight (between 9pm and 6am) and during lunch (between 12pm and 2pm)
	Automatically selects and backs-up files based on type	Documents | .DOC | .DOCX | .ODT  | .PAGES | .PDF | .RTF | .TXT | .WPD | .WPS Presentations | .KEY | .PPS | .PPT  | .PPTX Spreadsheets | .CSV | .XLR | .XLS | .XLSX
Cloud Storage	Fully audited, highly secure datacenters Minimized security risks on datacenter usage	Redundant cloud management
		Maximum coverage SLA
		Datacenter's certifications: ISO 9001-14001-27001-50001, OHSAS 18801, PCI DSS, chapter 9 compliant SSAE16 SOC1
2-Tier Backup	Local Speed Vault	Storing a second local backup on the client-side makes it possible to perform restores using local storage
		For larger datasets, restores will not be limited by the speed of the connection to the cloud
		Customers feel safer, not only storing data in the cloud, but also on premise
Bandwidth	Low bandwidth usage	Cabinet technology and low delta's minimize the usage of the connection, both for backup and restore
	Advanced reconnect	When the connection fails during backup, backups will continue when the connection is restored
	Advanced bandwidth throttling	Limits the usage of the bandwidth during specific hours
Seed Loading	Perform initial offline backup and upload through Self-Service Seed Loading	Seed Loading offers the opportunity to speed up the initial backup upload process. Particularly for large datasets or where devices are on a slow or unstable internet connection
		Only applies to the initial backup with all subsequent backups upload directly from device
Monitoring and Management	Dashboard monitoring and management	Easily monitor and manage backups with an absolute minimum of time
	Dashboard Reporting	View reports containing the Session History and Selection for all or specific customers
	Dashboard remote commands	Push settings and commands from the Dashboard to the Backup Manager
	Remotely access the Backup Manager	Access the device's Backup & Recovery Manager directly from the Dashboard
	Agent auto-update	Automatically update agents from the Dashboard to the latest version of Backup & Recovery
	Daily Selected Size Check	Set a soft limit on per day usage and receive notifications when plugins/data sources exceed the configured threshold value
	Dashboard user roles/auditing	Different roles can be predefined, supports auditing
	Backup Manager advanced scheduling	Enables backups to be scheduled per plugin/data source, per hour or weekly
	Easy exclude	Selected file types can be easily excluded from the backup, prevents storing data you do not want to backup
	Easy selection	Easily select files to backup through a predefined set
	28 day retention policy	You can restore the last revision, or any revision from the last 28 days, either online or from the optional Local Speed Vault.
	Delta restore	The absolute minimum delta from the cloud will be retrieved to perform a restore, resulting in very fast restore times
	Archiving	With the Backup & Recovery Archiving Service you can specify a backup set for any device’s data source and designate this as a never to be deleted archive. This way you will always have a snapshot of your customer's date and can recover this from the archive, even if it was deleted weeks ago from the normal backup remediation.
Plugins / Data Sources	Database backups	All supported database backups can be backed-up and restored flat file, though there are some databases that can be processed live
	Oracle databases	Live Oracle backup through RMAN
	VMware	Application aware snapshot, easy backup and restore of a full machine, even to another ESX host
	Network shares	Backup multiple shared folders with one client
	Exchange stores	Live Exchange backup at the Information Store level using VSS
	Microsoft SharePoint (VSS)	Live SharePoint backup
	MySQL database	Select multiple database backup
	System State	System State backup using VSS
	Files and folders	Easily select the Files and folders to include in your dataset
	Hyper-V	Backup and restore Virtual Machines on devices running Hyper-V
	MS SQL databases (VSS)	Backup and restore MS SQL databases
Virtual Disk Recovery	Automatically restore a physical or virtual machine's System State and file level backups to a VMware or Hyper-V compatible virtual machine	Provide remote assistance to perform a Virtual Recovery at the end-customers location using the end-customer's' VMware or Hyper-V environment.
		Perform a Virtual Recovery to an ESX server. The recovered server becomes available to the clients for a short period of time
		Perform a Virtual Recovery to a *.VMDK file and ship it on a physical media to a customer
		Stage a Virtual Recovery to an ESX server and then perform daily incremental restores to keep a near-line copy for rapid Disaster Recovery purposes
		Perform regular, non-disruptive Disaster Recovery testing without a significant hardware or time investment
