Backup & Recovery Documents for Workstations and Laptops (Windows and Macs)
Not all customers need a complete backup of all of their systems and data sources, but they still want the security that comes with regular backups of the key user files on their Windows workstations and laptops to ensure that if the unexpected happens (ransomware attack, lost laptop or other emergency) their documents are safe and restored in moments.
Documents is a one-click solution that offers purpose-built, fully automated protection for all key user files based on their extension including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, PDF, and more.
Details
- Available for workstations and laptops running Windows 7 or later and Macs from 10.6 Snow Leopard (64-bit)
- Cloud-only backup and restore (no LocalSpeedVault)
- Enable for all workstations and laptops or at specific clients, sites or computers
- Fully Automated, all backup settings are pre-determined and non-configurable, either through the interface or via remote commands:
- Selection: only includes the supported document types (see below), not the full system. Backed up as a Files Folders data source. Eligible files that match the supported extensions are automatically detected and added.
- Scheduling: backup runs twice per day. Overnight (between 9pm and 6am) and during Lunch (between 12pm and 2pm)
- If a scheduled backup is missed (i.e., the computer was powered off) it runs as soon as possible once back online
- No limit to the number of protected files
- Self-service restore for users, no password required
- Restore any file version from the last 28 days (up to 56 restore points)
Requirements
- Windows Monitoring Agent 10.7.0 or later
- Mac Monitoring Agent 3.1.1 or later
- Backup Manager 17.9 or later (automatic deployment)
