Backing up your business Server is becoming a critical piece of the data management puzzle. As even the smallest of companies migrate to a networked office environment, the number of servers in use is increasing dramatically. Choosing the correct server backup software is now one of the most important decisions an organization is faced with during network setup. When you have a Windows Server running in your office, it is important to include it in the backup process. GBData backup software makes it easy and affordable to backup this important part of your business.
Servers are typically computers that operate as a shared resource on your network for the benefit of all your employees. Some servers perform dedicated tasks and other servers are multi-purpose.
When you have a dedicated server, such as a domain controller or an Exchange Server, you need to select backup software that supports the dedicated activities of this particular server. When you have a multi-purpose server, you may need a backup program that can backup a broad range of applications to make sure everything gets backed up.
Backing up a server is different than backing up a desktop computer Servers tend to be a shared resource in which an employee does not “sit in front of it” to monitor its status
Servers need to run continuously without interruption, and Servers tend to have files that are in use all the time.
When an employee uses an assigned computer, the employee can make sure backups are running in two ways – they can manually run the backups as needed or they can use automated backup software and check on this periodically to make sure the automated backup software is doing its job. Because an employee usually does not sit in front of a server every day, you need a backup program that can send you reports letting you know the status of the server backup program.
Servers are always running to provide you and your employees with the ability to use the resources that they provide. As a result, you need a backup program that does not interrupt the server activities while the server is running.
Since servers tend to have files that are in use all of the time, you need a backup program that can handle backing up open files. GBData online backup software runs scheduled backups of your server, which include all of your open files, at a time that you choose. You can even run continuous backups, which means that you can immediately backup those vital files without waiting for the scheduled time.
