BackupAssist is the world’s first backup software solution that addresses the specific needs of small to medium businesses. With the right mixture of value, features and functionality BackupAssist enables you to setup a reliable backup strategy in minutes, and enjoy the reassurance of secure data protection.

BackupAssist makes backups and data protection simple by performing automatic, scheduled backups of Windows Servers. With solutions for both local and Internet-based backup, the ability to back up everything from individual files to complete servers (including Active Directory, Exchange and SQL) - both physical and virtual - and support for a wide range of backup devices, BackupAssist is unmatched for its flexibility and versatility.

1. Easy to set up, and use. Save time, avoid frustration
BackupAssist is designed for ease of use by non-technical users. We perform the  “hard work” usually associated with setting up backups, so you experience a convenient, yet powerful graphical user interface. The Initial Setup Wizard makes it easy to install and use. And afer the initial setup, there’s no extra maintenance that you have to do! It’s truly hassle free so you don’t waste time writng and testing batch scripts.

 2. Implement a reliable strategy “out of the box”
A reliable backup strategy allows you to restore data from different points in history. This is done through a media rotation scheme, and for the new user, it can be complex to implement.
BackupAssist™ implements your choice of media rotation schemes, at the click of a button! You enjoy the security and reliability without going through the learning curve. Regardless of the type of backup hardware or media you are using, BackupAssist has schemes to suit all devices.

 3. Intelligent Reporting to avoid silent failures
Just like a second hand parachute, conventional scripts and scheduled tasks leave businesses vulnerable. You simply don’t know that a backup has failed in the past until you try to restore - and by then it’s too late!
BackupAssist™ overcomes this by monitoring and verifying the backup process, and emailing the backup results to your administrator. This gives you back control and confidence so if a backup fails,  you’re informed and can take appropriate action.

 4. Simple instructions so you can’t go wrong!
Of course, a backup strategy is only worthwhile if it’s followed. BackupAssist™ ensures this by emailing simple instructions to your office administrator or secretary. When action is required (usually daily) an email is sent, clearly stating which tape or media to put in the drive. This minimizes the possibility of human error, so you know with confidence that your data is protected.

 5. Integrates with Microsoft’s Windows Backup Facilities
Because BackupAssist employs Microsoft’s backup technology, you can be confident in quality of the backups. This core technology comes standard with Windows, so your backups can be restored on any Windows machine, even if BackupAssist is not installed there! And you are not locked into the proprietary formats of other sofware vendors.

 6. Priced competitively
As a bonus, because we use the existing infrastructure provided in Windows, we are not re-engineering the wheel. We pass this benefit onto you in the form of cost savings. BackupAssist is priced very competitively in the marketplace, meaning that you save money without sacrificing quality.
