Powerful Backup Features

  • BackupChain detects what has changed inside a file and only stores  the difference. (In-file delta or delta compression)
  • Because only file differences are stored, you can back up virtual machines, databases, and other large files quickly. This allows you to back up files efficiently to a remote location over the Internet and hold on to even hundreds of file versions.
  • Backup your database without stopping the database server (MySQL SQL Server, Oracle).
  • Efficient handling of large files (ZIP, delta compression, etc.) larger than 4 GB
  • Support for ultra-long (32768 characters) file and path names, even with ZIP compression
  • Support for international characters in file names (Unicode file names)
  • BackupChain supports also eSATA and USB external hard drives and other backup media.
  • Cluster Shared Volume Backup and Failover Clustering support.
  • Purchase includes a 1 or 2 year update subscription.
  • Lifetime developer support

Data Backup to External Hard Drives, Network Drives, and FTP

BackupChain performs fast incremental backups to external hard drives, network drives, and FTP. The built-in FTP backup server permits receiving files from another computer.
To meet the needs of IT professionals, BackupChain contains specialized proprietary technology to handle millions of files and so-called "in-file deltas". Delta compression is ideal for very large files, such as database and virtual machine files, because only file changes are stored rather than the entire file. BackupChain is the only USB data replication system available that provides delta compression, which significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements.


Secure Online Backup for Servers and Workstations -- You Own Both Sides

  • Set up and control your own online system using the built-in FTP server. Running your own server at another site eliminates online storage costs and your data is stored on your own computers.
  • Send your files to any other PC running BackupChain or any FTP hosting site on the Internet.
  • Copy your office files to your home computer and vice-versa.
  • Synchronize your servers and PCs at several office locations.
  • Secure your data with secure transmission (FTPS) and military-strength encryption (FIPS, HIPAA compliant).

Configurable File Versioning

  • Configure precisely the number of versions you want to keep depending on the file type and file location.
  • Compress specific file types the way you want (in-file delta, zip, rar, gz, etc.)
  • Specify different settings for each folder and file type
  • Specify specific file types to omit

Protect System and Locked / Open Files

  • BackupChain processes locked files of any type.
  • Backs up databases while the database server is running (Microsoft SQL, Oracle, etc.)
  • Backup live virtual machines on Hyper-V, Virtual Server, VMware, and other platforms.
  • Applications and system files can be processed while applications are running.

Simple Backup Drive / Target Rotation Scheme

  • Rotate external hard drives as you like.
  • Backup continues where it left off for each backup target. Deduplication continues separately on each drive.
  • Rotate any type of backup target (hard drives, folders, network shares, FTP, etc.)
  • All information is stored in the backup folder. Any one drive in rotation scheme restores entire backup.
