BackupAgent
Solution benefits for the customer
BackupAgent provides users with a system for the backup and storage of their computer files. It is built around a client software program that runs on a schedule, typically once a day, and usually at night while computers aren't in use. The program collects, compresses and encrypts the data before transferring it to the off-site hardware located in a Tier 4 Datacenter in Luxembourg.
End user features
- Fully automated Backups are made automatically through a schedule. Therefore human intervention is unnecessary. The frequency can be defined per backup task.
- High availability With BackupAgent your data is continuously available and directly accessible. Should you happen to lose data, you can immediately restore it from your last backup.
- Strong security It is essential to guarantee the privacy of user data. This is achieved with security methods such as data encryption (256-bit AES with private key) and a secured internet connection (SSL). This data is stored in a Tier 4 data center in Luxemburg to guarantee maximal privacy. Only the user has access to his data.
- No initial investment BackupAgent is a service. For a fixed fee per month you have a secure backup, without the need to invest in hardware or expensive one-off software licence.
- Low cost of ownership BackupAgent needs to be configured once; thereafter all backups are executed automatically. The monitoring is fast and easy.
- Easily restored The restore of your data is straightforward. You select the backed up data and choose the target location; your files and folders are back on your computer in no-time.
- Multi-platform BackupAgent is available for the most common operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or Linux/Unix.
- Hot database backup BackupAgent can make backups of MS Exchange Server, MS SQL Server and MySQL databases without interrupting the operational processes (hot backup). Even the backup of individual folders within Exchange is possible.
