Multiple computers
It is easy to configure multiple PCs and/or Servers to share one
account. The computers do not have to be geographically co-located. You
can define separate sub-user accounts and allocate storage for each
computer. This enables every computer (sub-user) to have their own
login, preferences and configuration - all controlled by and billed to
a single administration account.
Backup
Users can define one or more backup sets to be run automatically at one
or multiple times each day. Your initial backup will compress, securely
encrypt and backup every selected file to a DWS Backup secure data
center via 448-bit Blowfish encryption.
Subsequent backups are performed incrementally - meaning only the
changes made to the files are sent to the DWS Backup server.
Incremental backups greatly reduce storage requirements and Internet
bandwidth, thus optimizing backup times and server storage space.

Backup File Conditions |
 |
|
New Files: Files added to any backup set folder will automatically be sent to the DWS Backup Server during the next backup. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Changed Files:
Updated files are backed-up using Incremental binary patching. They are
compressed, encrypted via secure 448-bit encryption, transferred and
archived for 30 days (user configurable up to 27 years). |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Deleted Files:
When you delete a file on your computer, the file (and it's
corresponding versions) remain available on the DWS Backup Server for
30 days (user configurable up to 27 years). You can immediately delete
a file from the DWS Backup Server via the DWS Backup Client user
interface.

 |
|
Moved Files:
When you move a file to a different location on your computer, it is
treated as a Deleted File in it’s original location and a New File in
the new location. |

Open Files
DWS Backup Professional automatically backs up all open, locked and
in-use files including those opened for “exclusive access”, i.e.,
Outlook, Quickbooks, RDMS databases, etc. You’ll never have to log out
or close a program at backup time again.
Most backup services support VSS (MS volume shadow copy service).
However, VSS is only compatible with the latest Windows OSs (like XP
and 2003) and is NOT compatible with most client/server applications,
legacy systems or some mainstream applications. It can also conflict
with various LAN based backup programs, which is a major consideration
for many users.
DWS Backup Professional’s open file technology is compatible with all
modern Windows OSs. We support virtually all applications too. Further,
we allow you to back up open files across mapped drives and network
shares - a service level that our competitors simply don’t support. |

Outlook
Small businesses and individuals often use Outlook for email, calendar
and contacts. DWS Backup Professional's Open File Backups make it easy
to backup all of your Outlook data. Simply include your Outlook .pst
files in one of your backup sets. (Note: DWS Backup Classic customers
must close Outlook prior to backing up the .pst files.) |

 |
 |
|
QuickBooks
Many businesses utilize QuickBooks to manage their critical financial
data. DWS Backup Professional's Open File Backups make it easy to
backup QuickBooks and QuickBooks Pro without having to close the
application. Simply include the .qbw (QuickBooks work file) in one of
your backup sets. (Note: DWS Backup Classic customers must close
QuickBooks prior to backing up the .qbw file, or use QuickBook's backup
and recover facility to create a .qbb file for backup). |

 |
 |
|
System State
Simply select System State in any backup set and DWS Backup
Professional will back up your Windows System State (Windows registry,
user settings, and Windows system files). |
| |
|
 |
 |
|
Sql Server
DWS Backup Professional will automatically detect and backup Live SQL
Server at the bit-level – without having to stop the critical services
that support your business. |
| |
|
 |
 |
|
Exchange Server
DWS Backup Professional will automatically detect and natively back up
your Live Exchange Server at the bit-level. While other services
require that you restore the entire Exchange DB, DWS Backup
Professional can quickly restore a single user or multiple mail folders
on demand. |
| |
|
 |
 |
|
Active Directory
If Active Directory is installed, DWSBackup Professional will
automatically detect it and enable it to be selected for backup. |
