BackupAssist is a suite of backup software for physical and virtual Windows servers that targets small and medium-sized businesses. It includes the products BackupAssist Classic, BackupAssist ER, BackupAssist WFH, and BackupAssist 365. The products support on-site and cloud backup and allows users to restore anything from a few files to an entire server (Bare-metal recovery).
Backup
BackupAssist can perform several kinds of backup, each offering a different level of redundancy against data loss. The BackupAssist 365 product allows users to make local backups of cloud data. BackupAssist ER allows for AES-256 encrypted backup of data to an AWS or Azure cloud.
Data Recovery
Data recovery can be performed on an entire server or on individual files. For instance, an Exchange Server can be restored in its entirety, just the database or individual mail items (E.g. E-mails, attachments, calendars, contacts).
