Easy, Fast & Simple!

Simple, reliable and affordable!

BackupAssist makes Windows backups simple for your small or medium sized business (SMB). It gives you best practice data protection solutions at the click of a mouse, providing automatic, scheduled backups for the full range of Microsoft Windows Server and Windows Small Business Server (SBS) products in one software package that almost anyone can use.

BackupAssist is designed to be both fully comprehensive and affordable for SMBs. It gives you exactly what you need without the complexity and large price tag that goes with other brands. You get local and Internet/online based backup solutions, the ability to backup everything from individual files to complete servers (including Active Directory, Exchange Server and SQL Server), control over both physical and virtual environments, plus built-in support for a comprehensive range of backup devices.

BackupAssist just works.

BackupAssist is designed to be simple and easy to use. No certification is required and you won't need a computer science degree to understand it. There are no lengthy training manuals needed, because the software guides you through each task and helps you troubleshoot problems and errors. It emails you a daily backup report and will even send you a reminder when it's time to change backup media!

By minimizing the complexity and possibility of human error, BackupAssist makes it easy to achieve more reliable backups and better data protection. In fact, BackupAssist is so reliable that it's not only preferred by tens of thousands of Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) in more than 120 countries worldwide, it's also the pre-eminent backup software package of choice for schools, government institutions, charities and not-for-profit organizations.

Flexible levels of protection, flexible pricing.

BackupAssist offers you a product that's right in terms of both functionality and price. It will deliver exactly what you need at a price you can afford — whether you're setting up your very first backup and need a basic solution, or looking for a comprehensive solution that covers both local and Internet/online backups for disaster recovery, point-in-time versioning of files and near-continuous protection for SQL databases, multiple servers, multiple offices and more.

BackupAssist gives you more affordable backup software because it uses a sensible pricing model that allows you to only pay for what you need. You purchase a BackupAssist base license, then add more features using BackupAssist Add-on products, as your requirements or the complexities of your IT setup increases. And no matter how complex your Microsoft Windows Server backup and recovery requirements, you'll find the BackupAssist solution does the job better!

Trusted, proven backup technologies.

Ask yourself: if your current backup software supplier went out of business, would you still be able to retrieve your backups?

Instead of reinventing the wheel, BackupAssist builds upon the best available backup technologies — standard programs that are proven and widely supported. This means your backups will always be readily accessible, unlike other backup software that may lock your data into propriety formats, making it difficult to retrieve in future.

With BackupAssist, you get the added advantages of more effective data protection at a fraction of the price, without compromising on quality. Many backup software companies regularly spend a fortune on writing new, obscure backup programs (and you never really know what you're getting). But at BackupAssist, our research and development budget goes entirely towards helping you maximize your investment in Microsoft's Windows technology and making it work better for you — eliminating the hassles you encounter every day with data protection issues.

Stay ahead of the game with BackupAssist.

At BackupAssist, we listen to our customers. You can rest assured that the BackupAssist development team cares about your needs and is constantly looking for easier ways for you to achieve best practice backup standards.
