 Backup & Recovery Champion | In a total of 1,224 interviews with users of I.T. security solutions, across 50 different criteria, BackupAssist achieved the highest award possible – “Champion” status – beating out many market giants including Veritas, IBM, CA and Commvault. |
 2019 Review | "The Best Cloud Storage and Online Backup Services of 2019" BackupAssist is an ideal backup solution for a small business because it combines intuitive software with performance and affordability. |
 Product of the Year - Finalist 2017 | The extremely prestigious and competitive TechTarget awards, BackupAssist achieved finalist status, along with six other vendors that included IBM and Veeam. BackupAssist was the only vendor focused exclusively on SMEs, and the only vendor with a product priced starting at under $500. |
 User Rating of 4.8/5 | “Hassle-free backups everyday!” We've been using BackupAssist for 7 or 8 years now and have been very happy with it. We back up our servers to a NAS device in another one of our buildings. The backups always run as expected and we receive a detailed report via email after the backup is complete. |
 Community Rating of 4.5/5 | "Very high performance/price ratio" Works almost flawless in a small company setup (4 servers/26 workstations). We are fine with filesystem, SQL and Exchange backup. |

Within 30 days, you'll master:
- Backup for essential and enhanced cyber-resilience.
- Full server recovery and Hyper-V rapid recovery.
- Restoring files, mailbox items in Exchange, and other common data retrieval tasks after user accidents.
- Advanced tasks like restoring Hyper-V VMs, SQL databases
Here’s a typical plan to become cyber-resilient within 30 days. It’ll take about 2-4 hours per week over the next four weeks. After the free trial, you won’t just have backups; you’ll also have a well tested disaster recovery plan that you can put into action when disaster strikes.
Week 1
Backing up for essential cyber-resilience. Preparing for full system recovery, and setting up onsite, offsite and offline backups. Reviewing your goals and budget.
Week 2
Test recoveries: performing dry-runs of full server recovery (BMDR), and where appropriate, Hyper-V Rapid VM Recovery and Exchange Granular Restore.
Week 3
Backing up for enhanced cyber-resilience. Implementing multiple layers of protection that will complement each other – including cloud offsite backups, file replication for extensive version keeping, backing up workstation shares, and where appropriate, archival backups to tape.
Week 4
Putting together your Disaster Recovery Plan, with the assistance of our template. For large deployments, free trying Multisite Manager.
You too can join the other hundreds of thousands of organizations in 165 countries that we've helped become cyber-resilient.

As a public services organization supported by tax dollars, we are extremely cognizant and cautious in how our budget is allocated. We didn’t have an ‘enterprise-sized’ budget to spend on ransomware protection. However, we would be negligent if we didn’t invest in protection against the type of malicious software that could block access to our computers and data, and therefore our city services, until a sum of money is paid. And, that sum can be large – too large for an organization like ours.
This is exactly the position some of my colleagues have found themselves in – it was ugly – and it wasn’t anything I wanted even the remotest possibility of having to deal with here. BackupAssist’s CryptoSafeGuard will deliver the extra layer of protection organizations need at an affordable price.

About backupassist
Linus Chang
Founder and CEO
of BackupAssist
Hello, my name is Linus Chang and I’m the creator of BackupAssist.
I first became aware of the need for backups when I worked at my university’s helpdesk. A PhD student come in with a broken floppy disk, asking for help. We tried some recovery techniques which failed… and then she broke down uncontrollably, seeing 3 years of her research and her mostly-complete thesis simply vanish.
Fast forward a few years, I saw the same problems in a business context. Why was it so difficult to back up a Windows Server? We were using batch scripts, and silent failures were a huge risk.
As a long time computer programmer (I started in 1985, aged 8, on the Apple //c), I decided to take action and write BackupAssist. That was in 2002. Fast forward to today, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of I.T. administrators get reliable backups, and most importantly, get their data back when it matters the most. We’ve done the thinking and hard work, so you can follow a simple plan.
In the age of cyber crime and ransomware – let’s all stay cyber-resilient.

Craig
Client Success
Hello there, I’m Craig from Client Success.
First and foremost, I am a consumer just like you, faced with personal and business choices every day.
I suspect that something we have in common is that we have, somewhere along the line, shared the disappointment associated with making the “wrong choice.” Either the product or service we choose or the support available after the purchase, failed to live up the hype and our expectations.
My mission at BackupAssist is to insure that our Clients can confidently proclaim to their friends and colleagues that their decision to choose BackupAssist is the “RIGHT CHOICE.”
We are all human and things don’t always go as planned. The great news is that you can count on us to be helpful, available, and ready to provide solutions.
It is our privilege to serve you and I readily welcome your feedback, whether we exceed your expectations or have room for improvement.
