In order, if you answered "No, Yes, Yes" to any of these, we understand - our customers gave us the same answers. Copiun was built from the ground up to eliminate desktop backup issues such as these.
Desktop Backup Challenges
“Light” Server Agents – Many well known server backup companies deliver desktop backup software that extends server-type features such as schedules that may interfere with users’ productivity.
Network Share Copy – Users want to save files locally and often reject policies forcing them to save to a network share, where files are included in server backup rotations.
Mountains of Duplicate Data – Unless you can deduplicate files, you will likely experience bandwidth bottlenecks and storage headaches when trying to store data centrally.
End User Training – Traditional desktop backup solutions require an interface that users must be trained on in order to perform their own restores. At the enterprise, this is a recipe for failure.
Copiun offers a fresh approach, keeping key stakeholders in mind; IT administration, End Users, and General Counsel/Governance.
- Backup Deduplication – Copiun Data Manager can deduplicate files at the object level, a significant advancement over mere block-level technologies.
- Near Zero Administration – Configure service-level error thresholds to indicate alerts on “real issues” while the Copiun Data Manager automatically handles random disconnects and bandwidth drops.
- Central Administration - Policy settings, adding users, and software updates are all managed from the Copiun Data Manager interface – there is no need to visit the desktop.
- Secure and Integrity Tested – Stored data is encrypted end to end and subject to constant integrity tests to ensure recovery.
- Hidden Agent – End users are not burdened with an interface to learn. The desktop backup agent runs near continuously, when the desktop is idle, to avoid performance degradation.
- Native OS Restore Utility – Much like a user searches “My Documents” for a file, the user can also search “My Backups” using the same Windows search utility.
- Global Search and E-Discovery – With the desktop data secured in the Copiun Data Manager server, authorized administrators can search across the backup repository or place a legal hold on targeted data.
