EdgeSafe File Backup software is a unique incremental File/Folder backup solution to seamlessly and incrementally backup files; providing a managed backup solution for files that are located on the users' laptops or desktop onto a central storage area (local USB HDD is also supported).
EdgeSafe File Backup has the ability to backup data files that are located on the users' workstations even if Office application is open. (does not backup files such as MDB database file while they are in use). This ensures consistent and automatic backup. Since the backup is incremental, it can happen even while the user is working and since it is very light in resource usage, the user barely notices when the backup is running.
EdgeSafe File Backup is composed of EdgeSafe Control Station software and EdgeSafe File Backup Agent and it targets organizations that have data file information stored on laptops and or desktops.
Every predefined period, EdgeSafe FileBackup Agent simply checks if the backup destination is available. Then it copies any file that had been created or changed since the last backup run into a secure, per user backup folder, which is located on a central backup/archive location.
Since only new and/or changed files are copied, the backup is incremental, very fast, and consumes minimal storage space and resources. This also allows the backup to work even over VPN lines.
Other features reduce the size of the backup by: A. Filtering out unwanted folders. B. Using a patent pending method allowing multiple one-pass reoverable versions without multiplying the backup space.
Even in very large deployments EdgeSafe File Backup is able to perform even over low bandwidth lines, by staging the first full backup run-- overcoming the network overload.
Another unique feature is the ability to restrict the backup process to run only when the user is logged into its "home base network". This feature helps mobile users avoiding a backup process while logged into the airport network for example.
Compatibility: Microsoft Windows 2000; Windows XP; Windows Vista; Windows 7, backing up various types of files and folders, including Office 2010 files produced by applications such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint.
