BMS's Professional Online Backup uses Asigra Televaulting and offers some of the best features and benefits available from any online backup solution

• Agentless: Simple, fast installation, no need to install software on every target machine you need to protect, just backup all machines and servers across the network from one single source, No additional agents for databases such as Exchange or SQL resulting in cost savings.
  
• Lower backup costs: Unlimited-seat licensing means you pay only for the total amount storage used –no matter how many machines you are protecting.
  
• Lower admin costs: Centralized administration eliminates many local costs associated with staffing, technology and tape storage. Upgrades are silent and automatic, without user
  intervention.
  
• Centralised management: Web portal and Java client enable remote management of client’s backup functions
  
• LAN Discovery Tool: complete inventory of a current/prospective customer’s data. Identifies all data on the defined systems and tracks its activity over the duration of the scan including Gross file quantities and storage usage, Breakout by file type, A List of duplicated files, a Database list, Exchange servers, the exchange server and PST files stored elsewhere on the network are identified. File Age, Data Growth and Data change.
  
• Statistical Backup: run test backups without uploading any data to quantify storage
  requirements, daily transmission amounts and compression yields
  
• Windows, Linux & Mac OS clients: Clients available for all three platforms, but all are capable of backing up all Operating Systems
  
• System state backup/restore: Registries, Active Directories and other system data can be backed up to enable bare metal restores of windows computers.
  
• SharePoint backup: Live complete backups of Microsoft SharePoint data and easy wizard based partial and full restores.
  
• Message level backup and restore of mail servers: Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes/Domino and Novell GroupWise mail servers can be backed up and restored right to the individual
  message, rather than having to work with complete mailboxes or mail stores.
  
• Hot backups of Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL, PostgreSQL and MySQL databases: Databases can be backed up and restored while the database is still active and available for use.
  
• AS/400 backup: IBM iSeries Minicomputers can be backed up as part of the overall Company backup.
• VMware Agentless Backup - ESX level backup: The agent-less architecture performs online backup and recovery of the vmdk files at block level. Giving the ability to recover an entire virtual machine to the same ESX or to a different ESX for Disaster Recovery. Virtual machine backup: The agent-less architecture performs online backup and recovery without overburdening shared physical resources such as the CPU and memory on the ESX server. It centralises administration of local and remote physical locations and virtual server environments, providing file and application level backup and recovery in virtual machine
  
• Backup windows: Backup jobs can be setup to pause when the internet connection is needed for office use.
  
• Compression: All data is compressed before transmission. Data that has already been compressed (i.e. ZIP files) is identified and skipped, because this often results in an even larger file
  
• Data De-Duplication: Only a single copy of each file is uploaded to the vault. Identical files will be identified even if their file names and creation dates are different.
  
• Delta incremental: Even uploading only new and changed files can still lead to large uploads each night. Asigra Televaulting will compare a modified file with its previous version and identify the changed portions and only upload this piece (a “delta”). This feature on its own leads to a typical reduction of 70% in daily upload traffic.
  
• Local Cache: Backup data can also be stored locally, to speed up restores. Rather than waiting for large quantities of data to download over the internet, it can be retrieved from a local NAS or file server.
  
• Continuous Data Protection (CDP) -The CDP functionality is designed to virtually eliminate data loss by providing event based real time backup of changed data in Windows, Linux and Microsoft Exchange user environment. It immediately detects and backs up changes.
  
• Autonomic Healing - This module constantly scans the stored data and immediately notifies Support when it encounters a corrupted or otherwise problematic file. This ensures that client data is 100% protected and fully restorable in the event of a disaster.
  
• Disk/Tape Request: Client can request a snapshot of data to be written to tape by us, either for emergency bulk restore or long term archival purposes.
  
• Validation: Client can validate their data against the copy stored online to assure them of total data integrity.
  
• Backup Lifecycle Management: Old data can be archived to lower cost disk, enabling infinite generations.
  
• No local action needed: The fully automated process uses your existing IP-WAN to take data offsite securely, eliminating the old courier-based manual tape process.
  
• Fast and efficient data recovery: Restore critical data quickly to any location on your WAN from the online vault in our enterprise data center.
  
• Flexible and scalable: Supports thousands of sites or “data islands” across virtually any type of IP network.
  
• Data security: fully NIST certified security infrastructure (an industry first), Advanced security and authentication algorithms, including AES encryption, random number generator, digital signature and HMAC modules all being NIST certified to ensure the safety and confidentiality of your data “in-flight” and “at-rest. Includes Data destruction with digital certificates.
  
• Data Protection: Fully complies with the data protection Acts of 1988 and 2003 which place a legal obligation on companies holding information about members of the public to ensure they use “appropriate” security measures for protecting that data from loss or inappropriate access.
  
• Single Managed Product for All Backup & Restore: Application servers, Databases, Email servers, Archival, Desktops & Laptops.
