Professional backup software
Much more advanced than free backup software, professional backup software offers you real possibilities for configuring your backup, keeping track of the changes you've made, or even preserving a complete image of your disk. Let's take a look at the features available with professional backup software!
Basic features
These are the same features offered by free backup software. Each function is described in detail in a separate article, so we'll just give you a brief list here:
- ZIP compression,
- incremental backup,
- differential backup,
- automatic backup,
- Windows system backup.
Indispensable features not available in free backup software
- File synchronization: Very practical, indeed essential, if you work in a network or with several colleagues. There's nothing more annoying than working on a document that hasn't been updated or isn't the latest version. You'll then have to make the changes manually. That's why professional backup software makes content changes on all storage spaces.
- Image of your disk: Professional backup software will make an exact copy of the state of your disk and create an archive for you to keep track of. You can track changes by selecting a specific date. This is a highly reliable backup copy.
- Tape backup: No need for human intervention. Backup is performed on a tape whose cassette is changed by a backup robot. Previously, the computer system administrator was in charge of changing the cassette. In other words, they often forgot. With backup software, there's no need to make changes.
- Online backup (cloud): Accessible 24 hours a day, wherever you are, as long as you have an Internet connection, online backup is very practical for businesses. What's more, data recovery is much faster with this solution.
- Database backup: Customer files, invoices, company lists - you can keep all your databases safe, and avoid losing valuable business information.
- Encryption: Don't overlook this feature! Encrypting your information is a must. Imagine if they were hacked or leaked by a dishonest person. You'd be in real trouble. So you need to make sure that your backup software provides optimum security for your computer data. The problem with free backup software is that it doesn't guarantee this.
The advantages
Mobility is a major advantage with this type of professional backup software. With constant access to your information, there's no need to perform tedious manipulations to restore a faulty file or retrieve a folder deleted by mistake.
They are also suitable for a variety of media, and are not limited to use with the Windows operating system.
By guaranteeing real security for your data, you can also enjoy greater peace of mind on a daily basis.
Disadvantages
Data confidentiality is not guaranteed for services in the USA. Legally speaking, there's a real nebula surrounding this issue, and companies are asking a lot of questions about the security of their data placed on the Cloud.
