Backup Software for IT Professionals: BackupChain

Backup software for IT professionals


Fully Configurable Workstation and Server Backup Software

  • BackupChain Hyper-V Backup Software is fully compatible with Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008 Server Core Installations. Hyper-V Installation Instructions are available for GUI-less environments.
  • VMware backup, local and remote live virtual machine backups
  • Backup virtual machines while running
  • BackupChain backup software 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 efficiently to a remote location over the Internet and hold on to even hundreds of file versions.
  • Backup databases without stopping the database server.
  • Efficient handling of large files (ZIP, delta compression, etc.) larger than 4GB
  • Support for ultra-long (32768 characters) file and path names, even with ZIP compression

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. Using delta compression, BackupChain 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

System File Backup and Open Files Handling

  • BackupChain Processes locked files of any type.
  • Backup databases while the database server is running (Microsoft SQL, Oracle, etc.)
  • Backup VHD while running (Hyper-V, VMWare, Microsoft Virtual Server, etc.) while running.
  • Applications and system files can be processed while applications are running.
