Wolfhound Software Products

BackupAssist makes Windows backups simple. It gives you best practice data protection solutions at the click of a mouse, providing automatic, scheduled backups for the full range of Windows Server Products in one software package that almost anyone can use.

BackupAssist is designed to be both fully comprehensive and affordable for small to medium businesses. It gives you exactly what you need without the complexity and large price tag that goes with other brands. You get local and internet based backup solutions, the ability to backup everything from individual files to complete servers (including Active Directory, Exchange and SQL), control over both physical and virtual environments, and built-in support for a comprehensive range of backup devices.

1. Easy to set up and use. Save time. Avoid frustration.

BackupAssist is designed to be simple and easy to use. No certification is required and you won't need a computer science degree to understand it. There are no lengthy training manuals needed, because the sotiware guides you through each task and helps you troubleshoot problems and errors.

After the initial setup no extra maintenance is required! It's truly hassle free so you don't waste timme writing and testing batch scripts.

2. Implement a reliable strategy "out of the box".

A reliable backup strategy allows you to restore data from different points in history. This is done through a media rotation scheme, and for the new user, it can be complex to implement.

BackupAssist™ implements your choice of media rotation schemes, at the click of a button! You enjoy the security and reliability without going through the learning curve.

Regardless of the type of backup hardware or media you are using, BackupAssist has schemes to suit all devices.

3. Intelligent reporting to avoid silent failures.

Just like a second hand parachute, conventional scripts and scheduled tasks leave businesses vulnerable. You simply don't know that a backup has failed unless you try to restore - and by then it's too late!

BackupAssist™ overcomes uncertainty by monitoring and verifying the backup process, and emailing the backup results to your administrator. This gives you control and confidence so if a backup fails, you're informed and can take appropriate action.

4. Simple instructions so you can't go wrong!

Of course, a backup strategy is only worthwhile if it's followed. BackupAssist™ emails simple instructions to your office administrator or secretary when a backup tape or drive needs to be changed. This minimizes the possibility of human error, so you can be confident that your data is protected.

5. Integrates with Microsoft's Windows technologies

Instead of reinventing the wheel, BackupAssist builds upon the best available backup technologies - standard programs that are proven and widely supported. This means your backups will always be readily accessible, unlike other backup software that may lock your data into propriety formats, making it difficult to retrieve in future.

Backup Assist also has a range of easy add-on extensions:

Exchange Mailbox Add-on
Perform brick-level backups of Exchange, including public folders, for simple recovery of individual mail items or entire mailboxes.

BackupAssist for Rsync
Fully automated secure, set-and-forget internet backups using the proven Rsync protocol.

Zip-To-Tape Add-on
ZIP backups to tape: an easy, cost-effective replacement for NTBackup on Server 2008 that allows you to continue maximizing your investment in tape drive hardware.

SQL Add-on
Backup your SQL Server with a choice of daily or near-continuous (every 15 minutes) database backups. Use the SQL Restore Wizard for simple database recovery, including point in time restore.
