IASO 2011 features

Setup Wizard

Features added in previous releases:

Setup Wizard	User interface element where the user is presented with a sequence of dialog boxes which lead him through the installation steps. The main steps are: Server name entering and language setup; Username and password entering; Encryption method setup; Encryption key setup. The encryption key should be at least six characters long; Entering e-mail address for daily reports; Simple schedule setup (time of daily backup, check/uncheck backup on system shutdown); Exclusion filters setup.
Setup language (GUI)	Possibility to set the application language on default during the installation via GUI Setup Wizard. Supported languages: English, Dutch, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese and Swedish.
Setup encryption method	Possibility to set the type of encryption during the installation via GUI Setup Wizard.
Setup encryption key	Possibility to set the encryption key during the installation via GUI Setup Wizard.
Setup exclusion filters	Possibility to set up exclusion filters during the installation via GUI Setup Wizard.
Setup simple schedule	Possibility to set up a simple schedule during the installation via GUI Setup Wizard.
Setup e-mail address for Dashboards	Possibility to set up an e-mail address for Dashboards during the installation via GUI Setup Wizard.

Backup

Features added in previous releases:

Online backup	Opportunity to perform data backup on a remote server with a network connection.
Offline backup	Possibility to perform the first backup without sending the entire data to a remote server over the Internet (perform backup to local disk → give backed up data to BSP → BSP applies it to the server → continue with delta-backup).
Delta backup	Ability to perform the second and subsequent backup operations (these take much less time than the first backup).
Automatic backup (on schedule)	Opportunity to backup data automatically according to the specified schedule.
Backup on shutdown	Possibility to backup data automatically on the system shutdown.
System state backup	Opportunity to perform a system state backup.
MS SQL backup	Possibility to backup MS SQL database.
Exchange VSS backup	Ability to backup Exchange on database level.
Backup of shared (Network) folders	Possibility to backup data shared over the network.
Open files backup (VSS)	Opportunity to backup open files with VSS.
Exclusion filters	Possibility to select certain file types to exclude them from the backup on default.
Backup user rights	Possibility to restore data with the same security permissions that were used during the backup.
Pre/post-backup actions	Possibility to add pre- and post-backup commands that will be executed before or after a backup, respectively. Read more »
Encryption	Encryption of backed up data. It is the most effective way to secure your data during the backup process. Access to the appropriate password or security key is necessary to read an encrypted file..
Simple scheduling (license-dependent)	Setting up a daily backup time and backup on system shutdown.
Advanced scheduling (license-dependent)	Ability to plan backup of My Computer, Microsoft SQL or Exchange Server by choosing the type of backup to be performed and by selecting the interval, date, and time for the backup to run. Read more »
Remote backup (from Management console)	Possibility to launch backup via the Management. Read more »

Restore

Features added in previous releases:

Restore	Possibility to perform the restore of the backed up data stored on a remote server.
Delta restore	Possibility to perform the second and subsequent restores (these take much less time than the first restore).
System state restore	Possibility to perform a system state restore.
MS SQL restore	Possibility to restore MS SQL database.
Exchange VSS restore	Possibility to restore Exchange database.
Restore of selected files only	Possibility to restore not the whole backup session but only selected files.
Restore to the original/alternative location	Possibility to restore data to the original or to another selected location.
Selection of backup session for restore	Possibility to select any backup session for the restore operations.

Updates

Features added in previous releases:

Manually update	Possibility to update the application manually.
Autoupdate	Possibility to update the application automatically.

Technologies

Features added in previous releases:

Deduplication	Eliminating duplicate of redundant information.
Delta slicing	Technique which allows scanning all data files for any changes made to the files since the previous slice level backup and send to the backup server only changed slices.
True Delta Discovery	Delta backup technique which allows to skip unchanged directories without testing the contents.
Cabinets	Advanced technique of backed up data storage.
FTP over SSL protocol usage	Technology which allows to use FTP over SSL protocol.

Other

Features added in this release:

Remote management	Possibility to manage application via remote GUI.
Local cabinet cache	Feature is used for restore optimization and is extremely efficient for big files with lots of daily changes like MSSQL or Exchange databases (especially together with long history). During restore necessary data is downloaded from the server in relatively big portions (cabinets) and stored on the local disk. Only local data is used further, thus decreasing overall restore time due to small cabinet random access times.
UAC	Support of User Account Control.
Search	This new feature allows to search and restore backed up files by their names.
Priority	This new feature allows to set the priority for the data in backup/restore sessions.
WebDAV	WebDAV protocol is now supported. Read more »
Multiple connection to BackupFP	Implemented the possibility of multiple clients' connection to BackupFP.

Features added in previous releases:

GUI	Possibility to manage application via GUI.
Management console	Presence of console for management. Read more »
Visualisation of backup/restore processes	Presence of the window displaying the backup/restore progress.
Software runs as a service	Application runs as a Windows Service.
Conveniently arranged tree-structure	Tool designed to handle data arranged in a "tree" structure whereby all necessary files can be easily found.
Branding	Technique that allows to brand the software GUI elements. Read more »
Skinning	Basically it means that the presentation layer of the software — the part the user sees — can be completely redesigned and altered without reprogramming the software.
Backup Register	Backup database is now client-side, so it makes backup operations faster (the copy of the backup database is stored on the server).
Client driven cleaning	Cleaning of non-actual data behind the retention period.
Multi-lingual support	Support of most common European languages.
Deep branding	Technique that allows to change the appearance of an application in accordance with any configuration changes made to the software. Read more »
Proxy support	This new feature allows users to set proxy settings. A proxy server acts as a security barrier between your internal network and the Internet, preventing other Internet users from accessing the information on your internal network.
Status window	This window was developed instead of the progress window which was displayed during the process of backup and restore. Now the total size of files in backup and restore queue, the total size of cabinets that are not synchronized with the server yet and current traffic usage are displayed in graphs with a summary.
Tray icon notifications	This new feature enables the monitoring of your backup and restore status via a pop-up tray icon.
Dynamic slicing	Smarter analog of delta slicing that uses knowledge about data structure of files being backed up for cutting them onto non-fixed size slices to achieve more efficiency in delta-backup.
Limits functionality	This new feature allows Bussiness Service Privider to limit files size and selection size which Clients send to the Server. There are two limits: size limit and data limit. If the size of sent file exceeds the size limit it will not be backed up. If the size of selection exceeds the data limit backup process will not start.
Deep Brandable Common Users	This new security feature allows to change your common user which will improve the security system in whole.
Connection State Viewer	This new feature watches the status of Network Connection.
Local databases	Local copy of Backup Register.
Virtual Drive	This new feature allows you to easily and very quickly get access to all your backed up data and its contents through any file browser without any additional step of restoring them. Read more »
