  • No external devices, tapes, etc. are needed, all you need is the software and a network connection.
  • The software supports a wide variety of operating systems, Windows, Unix, Macintosh, etc.
  • The software can be customized to how many versions of a file you want and how long to retain that file and its version.
  • Scheduled Backups - you can leave your computer on and the scheduler running and the backup will complete automatically according to the schedule set on the server.
