Laptop Solution for Backup and Restore From DS3 DataVaulting

DS3 DataVaulting  announced an alliance with BackupAgent B.V., a software vendor providing disk-based remote online backup and recovery solutions. Through this new technology relationship, DS3 DataVaulting combines its market leading online, off-site backup and restore solution with BackupAgent’s PC-based data security to give the mobile workforce significantly increased information protection and integrity.

According to the Ponemon Institute, over 600,000 laptops are stolen a year from airports alone. Another Ponemon study shows that 80 percent of businesses have had laptops lost or stolen. Through its alliance with BackupAgent, the DS3 DataVaulting Laptop Solution is a lightweight application that is loaded directly onto laptops through a simple software download. Setup and configuration can be accomplished with a few mouse-clicks through templates designed to automatically backup data held on the laptop including corporate, personal and email (PST) files. The easy to use solution backs up laptop files without user intervention or burdensome computer interruptions. The solution also works with disk encryption products such as TrueCrypt. Data restore is accomplished through the local laptop or, if the laptop is unavailable, through a web portal. Four levels of security ensure that only authorized personnel can access and retrieve files through the web portal. Information technology personnel can easily manage accounts and quotas from a single console. Management reports show who is backing up, how much they are backing up and, most importantly, who is not backing up their files.

“As organizations are looking for ways to streamline operations, employers are increasingly seeking reliable workforce solutions that ensure the highest level of productivity without compromising security,” according to Stacy Hayes, DS3’s co-founder and COO. “The DS3 DataVaulting Laptop Solution combines the market leading technology of BackupAgent to give organizations mobile backup and restore capabilities that resolve their data integrity challenges. This newest innovation underscores our commitment to delivering solutions that empower organizations with data management that is driven by business success.”

“When we looked at partners in the marketplace who shared our passion for data excellence, DS3 DataVaulting rose to the top,” said Edward van der Jagt, Director Sales of BackupAgent. “Our commitment to trust, confidence and reliability when it comes to critical business data makes this alliance a win-win for our mutual customers. We continue to prove that our solution is one of the most successful in the market with a substantial and continuously growing base of satisfied partners.”
