As part of
making backups easy, BackupAssist has built-in support for a wide variety of backup hardware. Your setup is simply a matter of point-and-click from the Wizard, and you'll never have to work around device-specific issues.
Our approach of rich hardware support also enables us to eliminate many of the pain-points that can plague other backup systems. And although there are subtle differences between different backup technologies (for example, imaging versus file-based backup), BackupAssist presents a common interface between them all.
Case Study: Seamless USB hard drive support
BackupAssist solves the two biggest problems with USB HDD backups:
- Safely removing (ejecting) the hard drive after the backup
- Making sure that the correct drive letter is assigned before the backup. With the media tracking option, BackupAssist will reassign the drive letter if it gets changed by the OS, and when it is safe to do so.
Excluding files
BackupAssist will observe the system file exclusions (such as the page file) and exclude them from the backup. You are also able to specify additional custom exclusions, such as MP3 files (as shown below).
Case Study: eliminate hassles with tape drives and RSM
Problems with the Removable Storage Manager and NTBackup are a thing of the past thanks to our unique tape drive communication techniques.
Case Study: FTP support
Our in-built FTP support (including SFTP and FTPS) makes offsite replication easy.
