In an increasingly mobile world, corporate "road warriors" or mobile workers require reliable, user-transparent data protection that runs in the background while they`re working.
The reality is that mobile users aren`t always connected to the network or even too busy to bother with data protection, that`s why they need automated solutions that can, for example, initiate the backup connection without a network connection.
CA`s BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops version 11 is optimised to cater for the somewhat erratic and usually unpredictable needs of mobile workers. Here are 11 reasons why you should buy it:
1. Minimise business risks and maximise revenue potential
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops provides automated data protection that minimises the business risks associated with catastrophic loss of laptop data due to theft, hardware failure, virus, natural disasters and human errors. Also, data, settings and Web browser bookmarks can be quickly restored onto a new laptop or desktop, reducing disruption to business processes.
2. Integration with BrightStor ARCserve Backup Release 11 for Windows
Integration with this backup/restore product provides complete protection of users` information as well as efficient use of server disk space as BrightStor ARCserve Backup migrates data from BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops to tapes without increasing the administration of the backup infrastructure.
3. Standard and expert graphical user interfaces (GUIs)
A standard GUI is provided so novice users can perform basic backups/restores, while an expert GUI provides more advanced customisation/options, offering flexibility while maintaining ease-of-use.
4. Automated backup processes
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops starts the backup process automatically, based on predefined schedules without user involvement.
5. Backup acceleration
Using the File Change Recorder (FCR) algorithm to detect new, changed or deleted files, the solution eliminates the need to perform disk scanning for every backup, increasing backup speed and minimising resource consumption.
6. Reduce data storage costs
Every time a backup process is initiated, the user`s hardware and software information, as well as any modifications to files, are stored in a database. The administrator can access this database to help resolve technical issues, therefore reducing time and saving money.
7. Secure data transmissions
Not only is data protected from catastrophic loss, it is also protected from unauthorised users as it is encrypted before transmitted to the backup server. In addition, a username and password is necessary to access it, preventing accidental or unauthorised restorations.
8. Open file backup
There is no longer a need to stop working on important application files or documents when a backup process is initiated. Open file agent technology ensures that all your files, even those open documents and applications, are included in the backup process.
9. Disconnected backups
The backup process can be initiated without the user being connected to the network. The scheduler initiates the backup process so that when the user connects to the network, the TCP/IP agent will automatically forward the backup data to the server. Since the agent can sense the connection, the process is automated and transparent.
10. Analysis and repair tool
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops automatically checks and reviews the consistency of the server data and status before starting backup jobs, helping you avoid any issues that may cause a serious problem.
11. Quick and easy restores
In the event of a catastrophic failure, the user can quickly and easily restore business-critical files, Windows settings, preferences and Web browser bookmarks. The recovered data can be exported from the server to the user`s drive or to removable media such as a CD.
