“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.

About backupassist

Linus Chang
Founder 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.
Wilson Nheu
CEO at BackupAssist

Hello, I’m Wilson Nheu and I’m the CEO at BackupAssist.

I spent nearly 10 years leading the R&D department at BackupAssist before taking on my current role. That first-hand insight into the nuts and bolts of our software, combined with a passion for market strategy have led me to where I am today.

There have been so many changes in the backup industry in the past few years, and I’m certain there will be even more in the years to come. We here at BackupAssist want to ensure that your business is cyber-resilient enough to keep up with the ever-evolving cyber-threat landscape, but at a cost that provides exceptional value for your money.

My goal is to ensure that BackupAssist evolves with the changing landscape while continuing to provide you with the products and services that meet your business needs.
