BackupEDGE 03.02.03†
BackupEDGE™ is a high performance, easy to use, fully integrated backup, restore and bare metal disaster recovery software product for Linux® and UNIX® operating systems.
It manages
the entire process of protecting critical data
while shielding the user from the headaches involved in directly managing individual actions
It supports
the industry's widest variety of storage devices,
including traditional tape drives, Blu-ray Disc™ (BD-RE), DVD and CD writers, tape changers, libraries and autoloaders, and USB and SATA† flash drives, disk drives and cartridges.
It supports
backups to network-attached storage
(NAS) devices, servers and appliances over the local network or Internet using the FTP, FTPS, SMB/CIFS, and NFS protocols†
BackupEDGE fully supports
Cloud (Internet) backups
to the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) web storage cloud and many other sites around the world who use the S3 storage API, such as Google Cloud Storage and Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage.
BackupEDGE
uses a modern, standards-based data format
that allows for very long pathnames, very high compression ratios, ACLs (access control lists), multiple archive verification strategies and highly secure data encryption.
Its modular architecture
providing great flexibility
in implementing and maintaining backup strategies.
Its Scheduler
is one of the most flexible in the industry,
combining Date, Time, Domain and Backup Type with Resource Quotas and Retention Times, to allow users to create simple or highly configurable storage strategies.
BackupEDGE
has an industry exclusive management interface
called EDGEMENU. The tri-mode interface runs on the graphical desktop or can be enabled as a web service and run remotely from a Java-equipped web browser. It may also be run in legacy character mode from the character console or from terminals and terminal emulators.
† Operating system dependent.
