StorageCraft File Backup and Recovery with Backup Analyzer

Overview:

 

 

 

Duplicate files, folders for apps no longer in use, music downloads, and family photos don’t need to be protected on the company’s dime. But backup options—whether image-based or file-and-folder—don’t differentiate between valuable data and irrelevant, unnecessary data.

Except for StorageCraft File Backup and Recovery with Backup Analyzer. Rather than backing up all the data on the laptops and desktops in an organization, this online backup solution protects only the data that’s important.

This solution accomplishes this with its web-based data analyzer. This data analyzer, called the StorageCraft Backup Analyzer, features built-in intelligence that identifies what data on a given computer should be backed up and what should be excluded.

Use StorageCraft File Backup and Recovery with Backup Analyzer for these scenarios:

• Gaining intelligence around the data the business is saving and automating backing up the important data
• Using backup storage for data that’s important to the client organization—and not for obsolete spreadsheets, 20 copies of the same document, or employees’ pet photos
• Protecting the business data of employees who travel, work remotely, or sometimes neglect to connect to the office server
• Allowing clients to find and access files and folders from the cloud, fast
• Managing a file backup solution for an organization or multiple organizations remotely and from one dashboard

StorageCraft File Backup and Recovery with Backup Analyzer

Traditional storage management is undergoing a revolution and StorageCraft is leading the way. The storage industry’s solution to this massive data growth is just to add additional storage. Organizations are constantly working to find better ways to back up and protect their most important asset, their data. When a disaster happens, they need to be able to retrieve it quickly and completely. Even though the cost of storage has been decreasing, the amount of data that needs to be stored and efficiently managed is increasing at an exponential rate. Gaining backup and recovery efficiencies is critical.

Many organizations back up all the data on every computer without regard to the data’s relevance or need. A company’s backups could include as much as 30% irrelevant and unnecessary data or in today’s Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) workplace, the machine may include the employee’s personal photos, audio files, personal documents, etc., which an IT Administrator may not want to pay to backup. There could also be 40 copies of the same file or large folders for files and applications that are no longer in use. Also, the recovery process may require sifting through myriad unnecessary data, the challenge of retrieving only the critical data is compounded. Since not all data is equal, if organizations could differentiate between what data is critical and what is not, they would have the foundation for quick, efficient, cost-effective backup and recovery.

StorageCraft Data Analytics, including StorageCraft File Backup and Recovery with Backup Analyzer, is different from other file-based backup and recovery products on the market. It expands the StorageCraft Recovery Solution through intelligent data analysis. StorageCraft’s Backup Analyzer recognizes which files on a computer that are critical and those that are not. The StorageCraft File Based Backup solution also includes a Manage Anywhere web-based dashboard for centralized licensing, installation, deployment, configuration, monitoring and reporting. These tools maximize control, minimize unnecessary backup and allow for a faster recovery time objective of an organization’s critical data when the need arises. This next-generation approach to intelligent tiered data architecture provides a forward-thinking data backup process for organizations of all sizes.

Backing Up All Critical Data on Laptops and Remote Computers

StorageCraft File Backup and Recovery with Backup Analyzer makes it easy and efficient to back up critical organizational data that is stored on laptops, workstations and home computers that are not regularly backed up to protected servers. This solution also makes it easy for these users to find and recover individual files and folders from the intuitive web-based interface.

The Key to Our Solution – The StorageCraft Backup Analyzer

Since not all data is equal, the StorageCraft Backup Analyzer provides an intelligent review and analysis of the data on a computer. It aids the user in deciding what data is backed up and what is excluded. The Backup Analyzer analyzes and configures without interrupting user’s daily tasks. It quickly separates the data into categories of what to protect, what to exclude, and a third very important category of “Unaddressed Files.” These unaddressed files are often the diamonds in rough; files that might be important to the user and should be backed up. Once an unaddressed file is discovered, additional backup rules can be defined and applied on the fly to the computer wherever it is located. These additional rules can be applied to some or all computers under management by StorageCraft File Backup and Recovery with Backup Analyzer in one step.

StorageCraft Manage Anywhere Dashboard

The StorageCraft Manage Anywhere Dashboard, directs all function from a single web-based portal. Through the portal, the user can apply backup configuration templates, set up monitoring and alerts, and end-user reporting. The Manage Anywhere Dashboard also allows the partner to install a single backup license or deploy the solution to hundreds of computers at once with the click of a button by utilizing automated Windows installation scripts generated in the dashboard and deployed via the partner’s RMM application.

Technical Information

Back up only the business-critical data living on laptops and desktops with StorageCraft File Backup and Recovery with Backup Analyzer.

This online backup solution identifies the data that should be protected, backs it up to the cloud, and enables easy file and folder recovery. StorageCraft File Backup and Recovery with Backup Analyzer features a web-based management portal and the client, a simple application that runs on the endpoints targeted for protection.

The solution’s key technology, the StorageCraft Backup Analyzer, determines what data is important to the organization. The Backup Analyzer scans and analyzes data without needing to interrupt users, and it doesn’t even require their computers to be on. It quickly separates the data into three categories:

• what to protect
• what to exclude
• unaddressed

Administrators can view the unaddressed files, create rules for those file types, and immediately apply those rules to one computer or hundreds, all from the management portal. This solution is particularly ideal for those computers that are remote and not regularly backed up to protected servers.

Should a folder or file disappear, users with an Internet connection can easily find and recover that item via Windows Explorer.
