BarracudaWare Yosemite Server Backup

BarracudaWare Yosemite Server Backup Overview:

Yosemite Server Backup is a complete and affordable data backup and protection solution, enabling you to backup all of your data and restore it quickly in the event of a disaster. With broad support for multiple server applications, operating systems, and backup devices, Yosemite Server Backup provides a centralized interface to manage your entire backup strategy.

Features:
 

Powerful:

Based on over a decade-long development history rooting from its origins as Tapeware, Yosemite Server Backup is a mature, reliable, and trusted solution protecting the data of millions of users worldwide. With cross-platform support across your Windows, Linux, and NetWare environments, you can apply consistent data protection policies from a single interface. Agents for Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft SharePoint enable you to perform online backups without the need to take your applications offline or make separate exports. “Bare metal restores” are also supported from backup archives.

Data encryption protects your data at-rest, and data compression makes the most of your media. With heterogeneous support for disk-to-disk backup, CD/DVD, tape drives, tape autoloaders, and robotic tape libraries, Yosemite Server Backup offers industry-leading backup performance by supporting concurrent streams for backup and recovery. Moreover, by streaming continuous data feeds at full-speed, Yosemite Server Backup also helps minimize starts and stops of your backup hardware, extending both operating life and reliability.

Easy to Use:

Scheduling backups is easy through a simple calendar interface. For removable media systems, Yosemite Server Backup can automate and guide your tape rotation strategy. For automated media libraries, Yosemite Server Backup can automatically control any robotics that load your media. Automated email notifications can keep you informed of your backup completions or any problems encountered during backup operations.

Affordable:

Yosemite Server Backup combines the best of both worlds, offering superior performance and flexibility over backup utilities bundled with operating systems and devices without the complex licensing and administration models of other commercial backup solutions. With just four options ranging from single server to unlimited usage, Yosemite Server Backup is the most affordable data protection solution available.

Feature Details:

Bare Metal Disaster Recovery
Enables a one-step restoration of a complete system (operating system, applications, user data, system state) directly from backup media.

Microsoft Exchange Agent
Enables “hot backup” of Microsoft Exchange while online. Performs full and incremental backups and offers granularity of selection to individual storage groups and information stores. Automatically purges log files following backup. Supports Microsoft Exchange 2000 and higher for backup and restore.

Microsoft SQL Server Agent
Enables “hot backup” of Microsoft SQL Server while online. Performs full and incremental backups and offers granularity of selection to individual databases. Automatically truncates transaction logs following backup. Supports Microsoft SQL Server 7 and higher for backup and restore.

Disk to Disk to Any (D2D2NE)
Integrated virtual archive architecture abstracts archive data from the physical media. Facilitates easy staging of backups across tiered backup hierarchies over the network. Least Recently Used (LRU) policies can automatically move lower priority data to the next storage tier (e.g., from disk to optical media or tape). Replication policies can automatically maintain redundant archives to offsite locations to disaster recovery. Secure erase technologies ensure that data moved to next storage tier can be completely eliminated.

Tape Library Expansion
Provides integrated support for multiple drives in robotic tape library systems.
