General Features

Complete Backup Solution

    BackupEDGE is a dependable backup system that is both easy to use and inexpensive. It has all the features you’ll need to safeguard your system’s data.

Robust Backups

    BackupEDGE can safely archive every file, directory, device node, and special file on your filesystems. Unlike standard UNIX tar, which ignores many important files on your hard drives, BackupEDGE protects them all! And BackupEDGE doesn’t have limits on things like pathnames that give tar and most commercial products problems.

Full Data Verification

    BackupEDGE can verify every byte of data on an archive against the original, to ensure the archive is an accurate reflection of your data. It also has full-file checksum verification to ensure that archives are readable months or even years later.

Data Compression

    To fit as much data as possible onto the archive medium, BackupEDGE has the best software data compression system available in any product in its class.

Encryption

    Data protection and security are major concerns. BackupEDGE delivers the most flexible and robust encryption system ever devised for a backup product. (Encryption is a chargeable option.)

Menu Interface

    Every major function of BackupEDGE can be accessed through an intuitive menu system. This includes device configuration, manual operation, and unattended cron (nightly) backup setup.

Remote Device Support

    If you have more networked computers than archive devices (tape drives, DVD drives, etc.), even those computers without archive devices can be backed up across the network by BackupEDGE

High Performance

    With its advanced write techniques, BackupEDGE can get the maximum performance from your hardware!

Virtual File Support

    BackupEDGE can backup and restore virtual files (also called sparse files), which are common to many database applications. When restoring a sparse file, BackupEDGE will automatically “re-virtualize” it to its original state.
