MSP360 File Backup Software Features

MSP360 file backup software is a feature-rich solution that offers high reliability and strong security standards, providing MSPs, small businesses, and home users with all the essential features needed for complete data protection.

Intuitive design

Create file-level backups in just a few clicks without complex configuration settings: MSP360 Backup software allows you to set up backups in minutes with step-by-step backup plan wizards.

File and folder backup

Make sure the most important files are backed up regularly in case of hardware malfunction or accidental deletion.

Fast way to back up data

File backup software is also the fastest way to back up data, as you don’t copy the whole system to the storage, as you do with an image-based backup. Single files and folders don’t take much time to transfer both to the storage, and back again.

Safeguard data with encryption

Keep your sensitive information safe from hackers, breaches, and unauthorized access with encryption. Without encryption, your backups are vulnerable, putting personal data, business documents, and client information at risk.

Object lock (immutability)

Strengthen the safety of your data with object lock: a feature that locks backup datasets for a period specified by GFS retention policy. Within this period, backup data is kept unmodified and is protected from human errors or ransomware.

Flexible Backup Scheduling and Retention

Create different backup schedules for different folders according to compliance or other rules you fall under. Set up periods for keeping yearly, monthly, and weekly backups. Create a flexible archival strategy and keep your files safe for long periods of time.

Cloud storage of your choice

Connect to the cloud storage of your choice, and back up data to any leading cloud storage provider like AWS, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, or other S3-compatible options, and ensure complete data protection.

Local backup

Ensure you’re following the 3-2-1-1-0 backup rule, and include local backups in your data protection strategy. Configure backup routines that automatically copy all your data not only to cloud storage but also to local storage.

Centralized backup management

Use a single console to create and run workstation backups remotely and centrally manage all your backups and restores.

Managed

Advanced monitoring and reporting

Safeguard your data and identify issues early with proactive monitoring: closely track user backup activities, review failures, check warnings, and analyze trends.
