Exchange, SQL & VSS Applications

Backup and recover the mission-critical VSS applications your business depends upon. BackupAssist provides VSS-Aware protection for any application that uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service.

Protect Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, Active Directory and any other VSS application

Restore individual Exchange databases, or recover all databases on the Server using application-consistent backups

Supports VSS for applications on guests, when backing them up from the Hyper-V host.

Backup multiple SQL Servers with a single backup job, whether those servers are local or remot e, from one machine using a single BackupAssist installation.

VSS-application aware backups, so Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint and Active Directory servers can all be backed up while live and in use.

Quick, easy restores of SQL and Exchange backups with a fully-featured integrated restore tool

Powerful protection for Exchange Servers

BackupAssist will automatically detect your Exchange Server and allow you to perform backups while Exchange is still running.

The base license allows you to backup and restore the entire Exchange Server, or select databases within that server.

Exchange Server Restore

Selecting Exchange Server Restore automatically lists your backups and launches the right tool, saving you time and hassle. Within the console you can choose to restore an Exchange database or even your entire server. BackupAssist displays all of the Exchange backups and brings up the appropriate restore tool. It also helps you filter and browse your backups to find the one you need.

The restore process will guide you through every step until the restore is complete, making for painless, fast Exchange data restoration.

Comprehensive support for Microsoft SQL Server

With the BackupAssist Base License, you can backup, restore and recover a complete Microsoft SQL Server.

Fast, simple SQL backups

BackupAssist’s base license makes SQL Server backups and recoveries a painless process, allowing you to protect an entire server and all of its databases with a single backup.

SQL Servers and databases can then be recovered in full, including to bare-metal with same or dissimilar hardware.

Customize your backup destination

Save your SQL backups to secure, fixed media with a selection of custom options to manage:

How long the backups are kept
How many backups are retained
How much storage space each SQL backup can use.

Managing multiple backups means you have multiple restore points if one of your backups is corrupted or unusual.

Plus native support for Sharepoint, Active Directory and more!

BackupAssist also makes Sharepoint backup and recovery easy using our powerful imaging backup type, System Protection. You can quickly and easily backup and recover entire Sharepoint Servers, offering fast, reliable protection for your web-based infrastructure.

What’s more, BackupAssist can also reliably backup Active Directory, and any other applications that operate using Microsoft’s Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).

Here's what they have to say.

BackupAssist was, by far, the easiest and most reliable backup solution I have used in many years.I have been in the Information Technology field since 1987 and have seen many software vendors come and go. If BackupAssist keeps their products as good as this one then I suspect they will be in the market for the long haul. Thanks, BackupAssist!
John Binford, Information Technology Director, Texas

After first several weeks of testing your software, I can say that being in this business since late 80's, I never run into backup tool giving so many options, way above average performance and at the same time staying wonderfully transparent and user friendly! It has been all pleasure working with BackupAssist.
Stan, Government of Ontario, Canada

It's a simple, effective, up to date and powerful backup tool... its user friendly interface and ease of use are its greatest strengths... Great Backup-tool, excellent and quick response from your Company!
Peter, Mapivalues NL, The Netherlands

Simple. Works. Easy to install and use. Thanks for making a product that makes my job EASIER!!!
Cynthia Calvin, Benchmark Ventures, USA

All our clients want is a simple backup strategy that's secure, easy to follow and implement, and BackupAssist provides just that. It's an excellent product, and I do like the emailed logs as it allows me to remotely check progress.
John Dance, Managing director, Rebooted Pty Ltd, Australia

The greatest strength is without doubt the easiness of implementing a working backup schedule. Combined with the email capability it provides everything I need for our business' backups at a very competitive price level!
Johan Sandqvist, AB Gyllenhammar & Sahlin, Sweden

Have used [competitors' products] - too expensive, complicated architecture for majority of servers we use. Advantages of BackupAssist are simplicity. Cost. Ease of use. Easiest I have used so far - [competitors' products] etc. Complete novice could use this software. Full marks for ease of use / clear explanations.
Kieran Murphy, Powerscreen International Ltd, N. Ireland

It's very easy to use. Other solutions were too expensive with almost same capabilities.
Gerardo Arlotto, Jefe de Sistemas Compania Uruguaya de Cemento Portland, Uruguay

We needed a low-cost backup solution for one of our servers... BackupAssist has an advantage over expensive software solutions because it's simple, cost-effective and gets the job done without creating a complicated mess like some of the expensive packages do.
Jim Ficarra, Cross Current Corporation, USA

BackupAssist's greatest strength is its automation. We needed a solution where the person at the remote site has NO admin rights, just needs to change the tape - nothing else!
Aaron, Direct Wines, UK

Found it to be the most cost effective solution to backing up our two Windows servers.
Bruce Segal, Decarie Motors, Canada

We tried lots of software. Among those evaluated were [major competitors' products]. All of the packages except yours operated inconsistently (or not at all), several would not read backup tapes it created an verified, some could not access hardware or access was inconsistent, some caused system lockups or blue screen crashes... all of the above packages ranged in price from $900 USD to > $3,000 USD.
Mr. Charles D. Amata Jr., CPTechnologies Inc., USA

We needed to backup Exchange and SQL Server but didn't want to spend a fortune.
Gary Baldwin, Davison C E High School, UK

I purchased BackupAssist because I was tired of pulling my hair out with [a competitor's] over priced and overly complex software. BackupAssist was the third or fourth demo I downloaded via Google. Ease of use. BackupAssist provided me with all the features I needed with a very easy to use setup/configuration interface. Good job with BackupAssist. Other backup software companies should take follow your lead.
Jeff Lowe, Network Administrator, Indigenous Gaming Regulators Inc., Canada

Another Computer consultant evaluated, purchased and recommended this software. Since then, we are so impressed, that as far as I'm concerned any of our new servers will have a license of BackupAssist to make the media management simple.
Scott Young, Network Integration Solutions Inc., Canada

Thank you for your product; I am very pleased with my decision to purchase this software. Coming from a non-profit background, it was very affordable compared to other products on the market.
Tricia Sanchez, Westshore Dispute Resolution Center, USA

Really great performance. I highly recommend BackupAssist based on my experiences to date, and I know one consultant who has already purchased the software for a Windows server with a Synology DS1815+ NAS unit. I use one myself, with an iSCSI interface connection that makes a large NAS partition appear to be mounted as a local hard drive. BackupAssist finds it easy to locate and use. The price reduction compared to SAN storage is amazing.
