Full System Backup and Recovery with Windows Server Backup Software

Servers are generally considered to be reliable. However, without backups, restoring critical systems requires manual operations for reconfiguring all processes, which lead to business continuity disruptions. Windows Server backup software addresses these issues through scheduled backups with usable recovery points, deduplication to optimize storage, and quick restore of entire systems.

MSP360 Windows Server Backup Software Features

MSP360 Windows Server backup software is a feature-rich solution that protects mission-critical data. Back up Windows Server environments with the highest level of reliability and security.

Image-based (full system) backups

Image-based backups overcome the limitations of file-level backups by capturing a complete snapshot of the system, including the OS, applications, and settings. This method allows for quick and consistent recovery from hardware failures, even to different hardware or virtual environments, greatly minimizing downtime.

Bare-metal restore

Restore the entire system to similar or dissimilar hardware. Recover OS, applications, and settings, minimize downtime and ensure business continuity by quickly bringing servers back to their exact pre-failure state without manual reinstallation or configuration.

Restore verification

Backing up data ensures it's safe and recoverable during disasters. MSP360 offers two key features for validating backups: Restore Verification, which tests recoverability, and Consistency Check, which confirms that all backed-up data is consistent and stored properly.

Object lock (immutability)

Make your server backups indestructible with object lock, and ensure the highest-possible level of backup protection to safeguard your data from ransomware attacks.

Flexible Backup Scheduling

Multiple backup schedules are used in most backup infrastructures to make backup processes more efficient. Customize your schedules as granularly as you need, and back up daily, weekly, or set a monthly backup to an external drive or the cloud.

GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) Retention

With the GFS setup that creates full backups with different retention routines (weekly (son), monthly (father), and yearly (grandfather)), MSP360 Backup creates a flexible archival strategy and optimizes the number of full backups to significantly reduce storage costs.

Client-side encryption

If your files aren’t encrypted, anyone who gets access to your storage could see your personal or business data. Don’t leave your data exposed - enable military-grade AES encryption with MSP360 Backup, keep your data safe from hackers, breaches and unauthorized access.

Bring-your-own cloud storage

Our Windows Server backup software is natively integrated with leading cloud storage providers like AWS, Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, IDrive e2, and other S3-compatible options. Connect to the preferred storage account, 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.

A surprising amount of functionality is present: there are full and incremental backups; scheduling that’s granular down to minutes; culling of backups (purging older backups, including grandfather/father/son options; as well as pre- and post- program execution).

Product Interface

Image-based backup

Make a full copy of all the partitions that contain your system files, as well as applications, services, permissions, configuration, and user data.

Image-based backup

Custom schedules

Power outages happen, so without a solid backup schedule, you could lose your data entirely. Schedule your backups to run daily, weekly, or monthly and avoid hardware failure consequences.

Custom schedules

GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) Retention

Keep backups on a hierarchical schedule and restore data from multiple points in time to meet compliance requirements and ensure reliable long-term data protection.

GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) Retention

Enhanced data security with object lock

Once enabled, object lock (immutability) ensures backups remain unmodified until the GFS retention period expires. This feature is available for Amazon S3, Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage, and Backblaze B2.

Enhanced data security with object lock

Verify backup integrity and restorability with a consistency check

Restore Verification ensures your system image backups are recoverable. When enabled, it creates a file structure that can be restored to a virtual machine for testing. Consistency Check, enabled by default, verifies that all necessary files for restoration are present and that no data is lost.
