GRSoftware: GRBackPro V7.3 Server Backup Software

Based in Italy, GRSoftware, provider of software solutions for data availability and protection, announced the version 7.3 of GRBackPro – Professional Server Backup software.

GRBackPro is a Windows data backup program designed to run under Windows Server.

With GRBackPro, the Backup Administrator can define multiple backup sessions, backup a whole disk, a single folder or just a few files. An integrated scheduler will start a backup automatically without user intervention and conditions can be set such as paths available, no user input, and CPU load to fine tune the backup process.

GRBackPro supports network shares, USB drives, hard drives, DVD-RW, CD-RW, all removable hard drives, any drive that can be seen as a drive letter, and UNC names (but not tapes). GRBackPro will span a backup across multiple removable media, prompting the sysop as needed.

GRBackPro is typically installed as a Windows Service in order to have backups start even if no-one is logged in. It supports Windows Volume Shadow Copy on 32bit systems in order to be able to backup open and locked files. GRBackPro handles long path names up to 1024 characters. Unicode file names are supported even inside the zip archives, and Zip64 is supported. Multiple destination disks can be spanned so as to build a multi disk backup set. There is a split mode to burn DVDs after the backup has been completed. There is a History mode to keep multiple backup sets, and an Integrated Restore facility to restore files (just one file, multiple files, complete folders or complete backups).

One or more tasks can be executed before and/or after the backup, such as start/stop/restart services, close an application, start a program, pause the backup, open a message box, end a process, or send an E: (which, among other options, will send the backup log report if any error has been found in the backup).

GRBackPro will do a full Registry backup either locally (for an easy manual restore) or on the destination disk. NTFS security attributes can be backed up within the regular backup, and there is an option to compress or copy the files and folders. There is an automatic software update facility. This is featured backup software with professional options built to solve any data backup problem. GRBackPro is easy to learn as it has an integrated Backup Wizard to guide the sysop through the process.

The release of version 7.4 of GRBackPro Professional Server Backup Software adds some new features and will handle data backup for a single computer up to a large network. With this new Server release, GRSoftware introduces Service Administration featuring access control for specific groups and/or users. Also featured is a new administrative dialog, displayed when a backup is running in Service mode. E: sending now supports SSL/TLS so that E: can be sent to, for example, gmail.com accounts. Another new feature is the conditional backup execution based on paths available, user input and CPU load.

These new features facilitate the customization of backup solutions. It lets administrators backup their network server’s valuable data and supports Windows Server 2008. GRBackPro is a backup software solution for the Windows platform and works in the backgroundt.
