Hi all,<\/p>\n

To coincide with Microsoft’s worldwide launch of SBS 2008 and EBS 2008, we’d like to formally announce our support for these two latest operating systems.<\/p>\n

The current version of BackupAssist (v5.0.5) supports these operating systems with the following features:
\n– Drive Image backups – building upon the block-level backup features present in Windows Server 2008, while adding extensive scheduling, strategy, hardware support, monitoring and reporting. For more details, visit Drive Imaging Fact Sheet<\/a>
\n– File level backups – backup specific files and folders by replicating them to another location. Our Single Instance Store saves space and extends backup history, while intelligent differential backups make it very fast. For more details, visit
\nFile Replication Fact Sheet<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition, our next version 5.1, due in December, will also support:
\n– Internet based backups – by Rsyncing your files and folders via the Internet, using a bandwidth efficient transfer method
\n– EBS Administration Console plug-in – so you can view the results of jobs and perform basic administration through the EBS Administration Console.<\/p>\n

Of course, all these features are in keeping with our philosophy of making straightforward backup solutions that are easy to use, manage and monitor, and “just work”.<\/p>\n

So download and try<\/a> BackupAssist today for a great backup experience!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
