Solutions for data backup and recovery are the frequent theme of reviews, and this frequency has an explanatory background: there is not a more important task than keeping corporate or personal vital data in a safe place.
But this task (backup, namely) has one less commonly discussed aspect: what is the *overall purpose* of data backup? Don’t answer immediately; let?s think. The common answer is: «to keep data safe.» But much more correct answer would be: «to be able to get backed up data quickly and easily when the necessity occurs».
Here is an interesting, uncommon and serious solution: Backup prOxy Server (BOS), software by Chief Applications. It operates as a dedicated server that stores all data to be backed up from the entire local network on the server’s HDD. The solution is like the mix of the best aspects of snapshot-taking (files and directories are stored in their natural form, allowing «restore by copy») and «regular» back up routine (all backup done in background, by schedule, there can be any number of backups stored, allowing restore of newest and most ancient versions of data.)
Some other goodies, besides the main concept, are: BOS File server doesn’t require any client software installed on computers where the backup is to be performed; the client computer can have any OS and environment; not only plain files, but MS Outlook and MS Exchange data can be flexibly backed up and restore — BOS software allows immediate access to any document backed up from the mail server, even when the server is down, not operating, or even not there at all (e.g. was stolen!)
