System Backup and Recovery

The new System Backup and Recovery (KSBR) module provides robust disaster recovery, data protection and system migration by creating and managing backup image files remotely. Fast and reliable StorageCraft ShadowProtect™ technology means each backup image represents the exact state of a managed machine at a given point-in-time. Integration within the Kaseya framework ensures centralized management and a streamlined configuration of the entire backup process.

Dashboard

Provides a graphic display of System Backup and Recovery module statistics. Lists the machines that have been backed up, backup status counts, and backup results.

Status

Displays the backup status of each current backup.

Mount

Mounts selected backups so that files and directories can be accessed.

Backup History

Displays the history of all backups on a selected machine.

Profiles

Three pages--Manage, Assign by Machine, Assign by Profile--create and assign System Backup and Recovery profiles. Use profiles to configure full, differential or incremental backups for multiple machines. Profiles are typically LAN-specific. Other profile options include:

• Volume selection
• Split images
• Include/exclude free space
• Password protection and encryption
• Differential for subsequent full backups
• Write caching
• Concurrent backup creation
• Self-healing incremental recovery
• Performance throttling
• Auto-execution if last scheduled backup missed
• Retention policy

Schedule backups once, weekly, monthly or continuously.

• Continuous backups require ShadowControl® ImageManager™ to consolidate backups on a continuing basis, so you never have to create another full backup.
• ShadowControl® ImageManager™ is also used to manage offsite replication and image restores.

Alerts

Configures alerts for events that can occur when backing up a system:

• Backup Canceled
• Backup Completed Successfully
• Backup Completed with Errors
• Backup Failed
• Image Location Low Storage
• Missed Scheduled Backup

Application Logging

Displays a log of System Backup and Recovery module activity.
