IBackup
Professional offers very advanced and powerful features, yet has a very simple
and intuitive user friendly interface. The user interface is as simple as selecting
files from your computer and doing an interactive or scheduled backup of the files.
The previously selected files are remembered during subsequent backup sessions.
Fast
and Efficient Backups
IBackup
Professional efficiently uses your Internet bandwidth by compressing data files
during transmission. Incremental backups are done by transferring only the modified
portions of a file that was previously backed up thus resulting in faster backups.
File
Versioning
Each
backup creates a new backup set identified by the backup date and time. Users
can restore up to 30 prior versions including the most recent version of their
data files. Users can also restore latest versions of all their files or versions
of files as of a specific backup set.
Mapped
Drive Support
IBackup
Professional supports backup of mapped drives in NT service mode even if the system
has been logged off.
Security
The
data files backed up using IBackup are encrypted on transmission using 128-bit
SSL and the data files are stored by default encrypted using 128-bit RC4 and automatically
decrypted during restores. The encryption is done based on a user defined key,
so the data stored on IBackup Professional servers cannot be decrypted by anybody
other than you.
Efficient
Storage Computation
Total
storage space is calculated only for the latest version of any file and is not
based on historical versions. Moreover, you can retrieve any of the previous versions
of a file, storage space is calculated only for the latest version of a file.
For example, if you have 30 versions of a file then storage space is calculated
only for the 30th version of the file and not for the previous 29 versions.
Data
Integrity
Each
file goes through an extensive set of 128-bit MD5 checksum comparisons to ensure
secure backups.
Incremental
Backups
During
an incremental backup, IBackup Professional backs up only the changed or modified
portions of the file and hence consumes less time for backups.
Application
Integrity
Data backed up using IBackup Professional can only be accessed and restored via
IBackup Professional. There will not be any other mode of access allowed from
any other application. This further helps preserve and enhance integrity and security
of data.
Automatic
Selection
The
'Automatic Selection' feature is introduced in IBackup Professional version 1.x.
By default, the application will select the list of 'most commonly used user data'
and the 'most common application data types' that need backup.
Sync
The ‘Sync’
feature lets you match the contents of your IBackup Professional account to exactly
the same as that on your ‘My Computer’ for the selected files/folders
existing on your IBackup Professional account. This is a very useful option if
you have been backing up regularly, and now you have cleared up some data on your
computer and wish to clear the same on IBackup Professional account as well as
to bring them in sync.
Bandwidth
Throttle
By
default the application uses maximum bandwidth. This will affect the performance
of other Internet applications especially when you have large scheduled backup
jobs that are scheduled during your working hours. To circumvent this, users can
reduce the application bandwidth and access other Internet applications without
any interruptions.
Automatic
Power off after scheduled backup
A
very handy feature if you have scheduled a backup and your presence is not available.
You can set this option to automatically shut down the machine after the scheduled
task.
MS
SQL Server backup
Backup
MS SQL Server databases without interrupting running MS SQL Server services. Features
scheduling and log reporting options.
System
state backup
System
state backup creates a backup file for critical system related components. This
backed up file can be used to recover the critical system components in the event
of a crash.
Proxy
Friendliness
Advanced
settings enable users to setup connections via proxy servers to be able to connect
to IBackup Professional servers and perform backups.
