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, NFS and Object Storage protocols†

BackupEDGE fully supports

Cloud (Internet) backups

using the S3 object storage protocol. Backup to Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Backblaze B2, Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage and others.

BackupEDGE

uses a modern, standards-based data format

This 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 dual-mode interface runs on the graphical desktop in Linux or may be run in character mode from the character console or from terminals and terminal emulators.

† Operating system dependent.
