Unlimited MSP360 Backup Edition

MSP360 Backup Ultimate is designed for businesses with large data sets and diverse Windows infrastructure - environments that span desktops, servers, SQL Server, and Microsoft Exchange. Where other editions impose a cloud storage limit or cap the number of network shares that can be backed up, Ultimate removes both: no software-imposed cloud storage limit, no cap on network share backup.

Ultimate Edition covers file and image-based backup, bare-metal restore, SQL Server backup with transaction log support, - all through the MSP360 Backup agent installed on each protected machine.

MSP360 Backup Ultimate Features

Ultimate Edition combines file, image-based, SQL Server, and Microsoft Exchange (on-premesis) backup with unlimited network share and cloud storage support. Feature availability varies by backup type, storage provider, and backup format.

Windows Desktop Backup

Protect Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 workstations with file-level and image-based backup. Configure scheduled backups, retention policies, and encryption — and store directly to cloud or local storage without intermediate staging.

Windows Server Backup

Full protection for Windows Server environments — file-level backup, image-based backup, System State backup, and bare-metal restore. Supports domain-joined environments and Windows Server operating systems.

Microsoft Exchange Backup

The only MSP360 Backup Pro edition that includes Exchange backup. Supports Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016. Exchange Database Availability Group (DAG) backup is supported. Item-level restore is available for Exchange 2010.

Microsoft SQL Server Backup

Full, differential, and transaction log backup plans with independent schedules within a single plan. Transaction log backups are available for databases using the Full or Bulk-logged recovery model. Point-in-time restore to a specific available point within the retained backup chain. Supports Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 through 2022, including Express editions. Copy-only mode available to avoid disrupting an existing backup chain.

Image-Based Backup

Block-level volume snapshots capture the full system state – OS, applications, settings, and data – without first creating a full local image file on the protected machine.

File-Level and System State Backup

Back up files, folders, and Windows System State. Configure granular inclusion and exclusion filters and set recurring schedules. For supported file backup plans, block-level backup transfers only modified portions of large files after the initial full backup.

Synthetic Full Backup

On supported cloud storage, create a new full restore point using backup data already in the destination – reducing source-side upload traffic and backup windows. Available for supported backup types and storage destinations.

Unlimited Network Share Backup

Back up an unlimited number of network shares. Server and SQL Server editions are limited to 5 network shares – Ultimate removes that limit.

No Software-Imposed Cloud Storage Limit

Ultimate Edition has no software-imposed cloud storage limit. Server and SQL Server editions are capped at 1 TB of cloud storage. Cloud storage is purchased separately from the selected provider – Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Storage, or supported S3-compatible providers.

GFS Retention

Grandfather-Father-Son retention preserves weekly, monthly, and yearly restore points for long-term retention alongside the regular backup retention policy. Availability depends on the backup type and format.

Object Lock Immutability

Store backups in a locked state that cannot be modified or deleted before the configured retention period expires – protecting backup chains against ransomware and accidental deletion. Requires Object Lock-compatible storage (AWS S3, Wasabi, and others). Availability depends on the storage provider, backup type, and backup format.

Client-Side Encryption

Client-side AES encryption (128, 192, or 256-bit key) protects backup data before upload – storage providers never see unencrypted data. For Amazon S3, server-side encryption with AWS KMS can also be configured as an additional layer. Optional compression is available to reduce the amount of data transferred and stored.

Hybrid Backup (Local + Cloud)

For supported legacy-format backup plans, store backup data locally and copy it to cloud storage for off-site protection. Configure separate retention policies for local and cloud storage independently

Bare-Metal Restore and Cloud VM Recovery

Restore image backups to the same or dissimilar physical hardware, or spin up directly on Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure VM – no manual reconfiguration required.

MSP360 Backup Ultimate FAQ

What does MSP360 Backup Ultimate include that other editions don't?

Ultimate Edition is the only MSP360 Backup Pro edition that includes Microsoft Exchange backup. It also removes the cloud storage limit present in the Server and SQL Server editions (capped at 1 TB each) and supports unlimited network share backup.

Does Ultimate Edition include virtual machine backup?

No. VM backup (VMware and Hyper-V) requires the VM Edition license, which is a separate SKU. Ultimate Edition covers file, image-based, SQL Server, and Exchange backup on Windows Server and desktop operating systems

Which versions of Exchange are supported?

MSP360 Backup Ultimate supports Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016, including Exchange Database Availability Group (DAG) configurations. Item-level restore is available for Exchange 2010.

Which versions of SQL Server are supported?

MSP360 Backup Ultimate supports Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 through 2022, including Express editions.

Is there a centralized management console?

No, Ultimate Edition is managed locally on each machine using the MSP360 Backup local agent. For centralized deployment, monitoring, and management across multiple machines or clients, MSP360 Managed Backup provides a web console with comparable backup capabilities.

How does Exchange backup work in MSP360?

MSP360 Backup captures a consistent snapshot of the Exchange mailbox database while the server remains online. After restore, Exchange database files are recovered to a selected location and can then be used to recover the database in a compatible Exchange environment. Item-level (mailbox-level) restore is available for Exchange 2010.

Can I restore to a different machine or a cloud VM?

Yes. Image-based backups support bare-metal restore to the same or dissimilar hardware, and direct restore to Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure VM. SQL Server databases can be restored to a compatible SQL Server instance, subject to Microsoft SQL Server version and database compatibility requirements.

What is the cloud storage limit for Ultimate Edition?

Ultimate Edition has no software-imposed cloud storage limit. Cloud storage is purchased separately from your chosen provider – Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Storage, or supported S3-compatible providers.
