We are thrilled to announce the release of BackupAssist Classic v14, marking a significant leap forward in data protection and disaster recovery solutions. Designed to empower both individual users and businesses, this release introduces groundbreaking features that redefine how we safeguard critical data in today’s dynamic digital landscape.
Introducing Disk-to-Cloud Backup (D2C)
A standout feature of BackupAssist Classic v14 is the introduction of Disk-to-Cloud Backup (D2C),* revolutionizing the way you secure your systems. With D2C, you can now back up your entire system directly to the cloud without needing to store the backup locally first. This capability is particularly beneficial for scenarios where local backup storage is impractical, such as with laptops, or cost-prohibitive, such as with cloud servers.
*Cloud Offsite Add-on required for D2C functionality
Key Benefits of D2C Backup:
- Regulatory Compliance: Meet stringent regulatory requirements for disaster recovery with the ability to perform System Recovery directly from your cloud backup, from anywhere.
- Business Continuity: Minimize interruptions to your operations even after a catastrophic building-wide disaster by using our VM instant boot capability with your restored cloud backup.
- For Resellers and MSPs: BackupAssist Desktop (formerly BackupAssist WFH) is now available under our MSP subscription program, and offers enterprise-grade backup capabilities including D2C, at a highly competitive monthly rate.
Enhanced Cloud Backup Resilience
Building on our robust cloud backup solution, BackupAssist Classic v14 now boasts enhanced stability and resilience. Backups are designed to persist through network instability, ensuring your data remains protected even under challenging conditions. Dynamic responses to cloud vendor control requests optimize backup success during congestion within their infrastructure, further enhancing reliability.
With the new Classic v14, you gain enhanced flexibility with backup scheduling and retention, allowing customization to align with specific Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs).
Improvements to Advanced Imaging Engine
The latest iteration of BackupAssist Classic also extends support for the Advanced System Protection and Test Restore engines, with dedicated RDX destinations for sophisticated air-gapped backups. This capability ensures your critical data is isolated from online threats and readily available for recovery when needed most. Moreover, the improved engine can recover from interruptions like server crashes during critical backup operations, preventing corrupted backups and minimizing downtime.
Conclusion
BackupAssist Classic v14 represents a monumental advancement in data backup and recovery technology, tailored to meet the evolving needs of modern businesses. Whether you’re securing desktops, laptops, or cloud servers, our comprehensive suite of features ensures your data is protected, compliant, and readily recoverable.
