Backup Features - Includes Automatic Scheduling

Install the Backup for Workgroups Client software on a Windows server, desktop or laptop to backup all of the files on that computer, including:

  • the Windows Operating System
  • the Windows Registry database
  • Application files
  • Closed files
  • Open files in which the parent application allows access
  • User-created files, including:  documents, spreadsheets, databases, graphic files, etc.
  • IIS Metabase information
  • File and folder security settings
  • Additional stream information stored on files, such as Macintosh files on Windows file servers

Need to backup a Windows Server?  Purchase one or more of the Backup for Workgroups Add-On products to expand support for Windows Servers by including the important databases for running services such as Active Directory, Exchange Server, MS-SQL, etc. in the backup process.

Configuration Options

  • Backup set customization - create backup sets for different groups of data.
  • Custom Email Reports and Daily Summary Reports keep you informed of what has been backed up and when.  Great for multi-client installations.
  • File Revision History - every time a file changes, Backup for Workgroups will store a revision of that file in the Data Repository.  The default limit is set at 25, but you can adjust this number to be as large or small as you need.  When it comes time to restore a file, you can choose from any date or time.  ( more...)
  • Stop/Start Services Feature - many applications lock their data when running as a service.  You can backup the data associated with these applications only when they are not running.  To do so, you can instruct the Client on that computer to use the "Stop Selected Services" feature to stop selected services while the backup is running.  Any service stopped by Backup for Workgroups will be automatically restarted after the backup completes.  (more...)

    If you don't want to stop a service, use an Add-On product to backup the files associated with any service while they are in use.
  • Automatically Close/Open Outlook and Outlook Express to properly backup the Outlook database on any Windows desktop or workstation.

Flexible Scheduling

Backup for Workgroups comes with a built-in Scheduler program that automatically runs backups according to a schedule you define by day and time.  The default setting for any backup set is "Monday - Friday at 12:00 noon", but you can change it to any other time that best fits your schedule. 

You can also have different schedules for each backup set you create.  Backup your entire computer with the "All Local Drives" backup set every day at 5 pm.  For data that changes more frequently, include it in its own backup set and schedule it for automatic backups every 2 hours.  The choice is yours.

Scheduling options available are:

  • Separate scheduling for each backup set you create
  • Multiple backup times can be scheduled for any backup set
  • Backups can be scheduled when the computer is turned on or off, or when a connection to the Internet is detected (great for remote backups)

You can also run a backup on demand using the "Backup Now" button located on the Client backup panel, or by using the Backup for Workgroups Client icon from the system tray right-click and choose "Backup Now").
