![]() ![]() You can restore either an entire system or perform item-level restores. There are two restore options driven by yet another simple wizard. The ZIP files can also be password protected and AES encrypted.īackups can be scheduled and include options for email notifications to backup administrators. In my test this saved about 50% space for the Windows Server 2008 server. The backup files themselves can optionally be compressed using ZIP compression. This is again very useful for PC backups, as they can be configured to backup their most important user files to a second hard drive on the machine without consuming more expensive server disk or tape capacity. Backing up to central location (can be disk or tape) on one main server is available, but each agent can also be configured to backup to its own local drive instead. The backup destination is quite flexible. The default backup inclusions/exclusions that define a broad range of common productivity file types are useful especially when creating backup jobs for PCs. This would seem to be the greatest weakness of GFI Backup however for small businesses that run in a workgroup configuration without Active Directory, or have their email service hosted in the cloud these aren’t going to present a problem. There is no option to backup Exchange Server or Active Directory. If you want to save time you could script the server agent install but whether that saves you time will depend on the size of your environment and your scripting skills.īackup types are file/folder, or SQL only. ![]() For servers the manual agent deployment is best, though the most effort. The GPO deployment option would be suitable for deploying the remote agents to desktops and laptops but not as convenient for servers. There is no push option available to roll out remote agents. Remote agent deployment can be performed using Group Policy or by manually initiating it from the remote server. Though I found this very easy to install I had to manually open firewall ports on the Windows Server 2008 server to allow remote administration access as they weren’t opened automatically by the installer as with some other applications. GFI Backup installs its own web server and listens on a custom port (you can change the port if you wish) for administration access, as well as ports for communications with remote agents. There are no complex set up requirements such as SQL databases to worry about. ![]() I installed it on a virtualized server running Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 2.
