Benefits

Management & Architecture Control

Decentralized backup: Distributes backup workload across all network computers to eliminate server bottlenecks and network clogs.

Centralized control: Provides a single administrative console to configure, delete, and monitor backups company-wide.

Optional PlugIns: Modular licensing (Database, VM, Bare Metal & System State) ensuring you only pay for utilized engines.

Flexible Centralization Levels: Supports localized backup destinations for sensitive user data to bypass central administrative visibility.

Easy Setup & Intuitive UI: Quick wizard-based deployment taking under an hour with detailed embedded descriptions.

Backup Configuration & Execution

Multiple Backup Configurations: Allows customized department schedules with individual targets (e.g., accounting vs. production).

Scheduled or Manual Execution: Automates silent background runs with options for on-demand administrator triggers.

Granular Target Options: Permits targeting multiple independent folders or backup items.

Advanced Filtering: Excludes or targets files during backup based on file extensions, sizes, times, and attributes to optimize space.

Open File Backups: Leverages Windows Volume Snapshot for active files and securely buffers roaming client data locally until network reconnection.

On-the-Go Backups: Buffers roaming client backups until network reconnection (File and Database backups only).

Security & Optimization

Bandwidth Throttling: Controls maximum simultaneous network transfers automatically to maintain an un-clogged network.

Military-Grade Encryption: Optional AES encryption per backup to completely restrict access without the password.

Storage Optimization: Combines incremental backups (changed files only) with robust file compression to maximize destination space.

Decentralized backup & restore: Backup and restore performed on individual computers to avoid transfer of unencrypted or uncompressed data over network.

Recovery & Reporting

Decentralized Restore: Empowers standard network users to pull their own data without submitting admin tickets.

Structure Restore: Rebuilds whole broken directories to their most current state in a single action using sequential increments.

Restore Points & Filtering: Grants fine-grained recovery of specific older file versions alongside targeted parameter filters during recovery.

Comprehensive Audit Reporting: Logs success rates, transfer sizing, graphical data volume trends, and filters history reports efficiently.

Technical Details

  • WinBackup Business 'Administrator Console' helps you configure a backup. --
    a) PCs and servers, drives for each PC / server, folders in each drive
    b) The database engine (e.g., SQL Server, MySQL etc.), database instance(s), database(s)
    c) The hypervisor (e.g., Hyper-V, VMware etc.), existing VMs
    d) Bare Metal or System State
  • You can set the schedule for backups (full and incremental), backup destination, compression, encryption etc.
  • Backup is performed on each PC / server based on the options specified by you for that computer.
  • WinBackup Business generates a set of essential reports to give you full view of the backup process for the whole network over any time period. You will know which PCs and servers are included in the backup (vs. not), the backup schedule, success and failure of the backup attempts, currently running backups etc. In short you will know everything about the backup process, and can make adjustments as you need.
  • The Restore steps are done directly on the PC(s), for which the backed up data need to be recovered.
  • Restore steps include a number of standard as well as innovative capabilities, such as Manual vs. Structure Restore, Restore Points, Filtered Restore (for files & folders), and more.
  • In Version 3, you can also add support -- via optional plugins (license to be purchased separately) -- for backup and restore of a) Databases (starting with Microsoft SQL Server, followed by MySQL & MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle etc.) b) Hypervisors (starting with Microsoft Hyper-V, followed by VMware, Xen, VirtualBox etc.) c) System Imaging / Bare Metal Recovery.
