Automatic scheduling
Super-fast scheduling with preconfigured media rotation schemes
Unsure about scheduling and media rotation? Backup schedules can be implemented in BackupAssist with a few clicks of a mouse. A range of preconfigured media rotation schemes, such as the powerful 'Grandfather-Father-Son' scheme, can be selected from a menu. Beginners and experienced users alike can have an industry-standard rotation scheme up and running within seconds, without fiddling with tedious scripts and batch-files. The calendar view shows users exactly which tapes or disks - daily, weekly, monthly and so on - to use each day, according to the selected rotation scheme.
Scheduling really is that quick and simple! Implement a backup scheduling that involves the rotation of tapes or disks - daily, weekly, monthly, and so on - with a few clicks of a button.
Powerful options with custom schemes
BackupAssist's custom schemes provide advanced users with greater flexibility. Users can choose the backup method (full, incremental or differential backups) and backup mode (overwrite or append to media) for each day of the week.
Custom schemes give you exceptional flexibility when choosing advanced backup options.
File and directory selection
Intuitive, flexible file and directory selection
BackupAssist's interface provides ultimate flexibility when it comes to selecting which files and directories to back up. Browse the directory tree, including or excluding individual files or entire directories.

Email reminders and notifications
Daily email reminders for easy media rotation management
BackupAssist can send daily reminder emails to users, telling them which tape or disk needs to be inserted into the drive. This is aimed at minimizing the possibility of human error in the backup process, and it also makes the media rotation scheme exceptionally easy to follow because the user doesn't have to remember which tape or disk should be used each day.
Daily email reminders slash the probability of human error when changing tapes or disks, and make the media rotation scheme exceptionally easy to follow.
Email notifications after each backup
BackupAssist can send out detailed HTML or text backup report emails to system administrators or technicians, keeping them informed of the result of each backup. This is a key feature that keeps users informed of any errors that may have occurred, and allows them to take the appropriate action.
Receive a report of each backup via email. You'll never forget to check if the previous night's backups succeeded or failed, because a concise report will be sitting in your mailbox when you check your emails.
Viewing reports
Report Viewer for a quick-view of backup history
BackupAssist's built-in Report Viewer provides you with a quick-view of the full history of backup report logs. Each entry can be opened in order to view a detailed report about the backup.
