There are two kind of computer users:
Those who have experienced data loss due to hard drive failure, lightning damage, fire or theft and those who will experience it.
Data loss can spell disaster for your business or for yourself.
Imagine losing your accounting data, financial records, day to day documents, all your music or your photographs.
Minimum data storage strategy
- A Primary Storage area for day to day access
- An Onsite Backup Copy for quick restore when needed.
- Manual verification of backups should be quick and easy
Minimum requirements for a strategy that works
- Backups should be made automatically without the need of any user input.
- Automated reports must be send to the user to let them know that backup system is active and working.
- An Off Site Backup Copy in case all onsite data are lost
AeoN Computer provide Backup Solutions that actually work.
Backup Feature Summary
- AeoN Computer’s sofware work with all backup options below. You do not have to pick a specific backup option as we can configure your custom backup profile to work with any combination of Backup Options. Selections can be added or removed at any time.
- If any errors prevent your backu from being completed the backup software will notify you via e-mail.
- Faster backup/sync of large files. The backup software identifies the specific pars of a changed file and only backup/sync that part of the file. This significantly increases the speed of the backup and use much less bandwidth.
- If the backup stops due to connection loss it can be resumed form the point where it stopped when the resource becomes available again.
- File renames and moves are detected and only the changes are synced. This also provide significant speed increases and time and bandwidth savings.
- Backups runs in elevated mode, so it handles file operations that would otherwise cause Access Denied errors and require User Account Control elevation.
- Backup software can be configured to to give access to data from another location via the internet using secure login and encryption. Forgot that file at work? Use the backup software to browe your work data and retrieve the file.
Key Features
- True Bi-Directional Synchronization
The software can automatically detect and synchronize creation, deletion, and all other changes, made by the user in folders, subfolders, and files. - One-Way Synchronization Provides an Easy Backup Solution
Easy to setup One-Way Synchronization provides an easy and reliable backup solution. - Deletions Are Propagated
The software can propagate your file deletions, even through a chain of Syncs. - Chained Synchronization for Multiple Devices
Changes performed by The software can be transferred to other computers/devices.Example: You can synchronize files between computers A and B which
are not connected to each other, by synchronizing Computer A to
a USB disk, and then syncing USB disk to computer B. - Lightning Fast Speed, Low Memory Requirement
The software is much faster than other synchronization programs and it takes
less memory. It can analyze a job with 1M files and folders on each side in
less than 10 minutes on only 500 Mb of memory. - Syncs not just Windows folders but also FTP, WebDAV, SFTP, S3
The software can sync any two folder located on Windows Local Disk, Windows
Network Server (SMB), FTP server, WebDAV server, Secure FTP (SSH) server, Amazon
S3 server. - Selective File Synchronization: Exclude and Include Filters
Files can be excluded from synchronization based on name pattern, size, modification
time. - 64-bit version, not just
32-bit
The software for Windows comes both in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. - Portable Paths for Removable Drives
You can specify folder path that starts with volume name, so that your volume
is found no matter what disk letter it uses.
Sync Algorithm
- No File System Monitoring Is Required
Changes in files are automatically detected by comparing current file status
to the stored file status, so no OS-based file monitoring is required. - Embedded Jobs Handled
One folder and its subfolders can participate in more than one sync job, some
of these jobs syncing folders above or below this folder. For instance, you
can sync folder C:\work\project to USB key, sync folder C:\work to portable
hard drive and file state changes registered in one job will be accounted for
by the other job. - Case Sensitivity
For The software file and folder names are case-sensitive, that is, Folder/File.txt
is not the same as folder/file.txt. So you can easily sync with Internet servers
that are case-sensitive. And The software makes sure your file names are the
same on both sides of the job, including the case of letters. - Time Shifts Are Detected And Fixed
When modification time of number of files is different by the same whole number
of hours, The software can correct file modification time without copying the
file. - FTP File Modification Time Sync
The software uses MDTM FTP command (where available) to get/set precise file
modification time. - File Mod Time Translation For Non-Preserving File Systems
For file systems that do not preserve file modification time when copying, The
software implements a novel time translation technique that make mod time appear
to be preserved by copy action. - Sync Just File Modification Times for Time Shifts
If you think that files are the same and they have different modification time,
The software can copy just modification time, without copying the file bodies.
File Manipulation
- Encrypt Backups using EFS
You can use Windows Encrypting File System (EFS) to encrypt your backups. In
The software you can specify encrypted/decrypted status of sync folder. - Compression in NTFS
The software can compress one or both sync folders using NTFS compression. - Copy Locked Files
The software can copy locked files using Volume Shadow Copy Service. - Copy Symbolic Links or Drill Down
Symbolic links can be copied as links (copy as is) or as files to which they
are pointing. - Copy Symbolic Links or Drill Down
Symbolic links can be copied as links (copy as is) or as files to which they
are pointing. - Speed Limit for File Copy
The software can limit bandwidth consumed by a sync job by limiting its file
copy speed. - Unix Diff Integrated
Can call Unix Diff utility to compare text file line by line. - Online Backups Via Encrypted Channel
If you backup to Secure FTP or WebDAV + SSL online file systems then all files
transferred are encrypted en route.
User Interface
- Visual Comparison of Folder Trees Made Easy
File and folders from both sides are displayed in one combined tree making visual
comparison easy. - Slice It and Dice It With Tree Views
File to be synced are sorted into different groups (All, Left to Right, Right
to Left, New Files, Deleted Files, Excluded, etc) and Tree Views allow to see
all these different groups in File Tree. - Job List Pane as Main Control Panel
Job List pane shows status of all jobs. - Total Bytes and Counts At All Levels
At every level of your folder tree you will see how many files and how many
bytes will be copied. - Mini Window for Specialized Applications
The software can be pre-programmed by system administrator to perform a specific
sync jobs and show only minimal Mini-Window GUI.
Automation
- Start On Timer or Windows Scheduler
Analysis and Synchronization can be automatically started every N minutes, or
on a schedule by The software in Task Scheduler. - Start When Files Change
Analysis and Synchronization can be started when any file in sync folders changes. - Start On When Folder Is Connected
The software start synchronizing two folders when both of them connect. This
includes:- Network Share appears due to connection to local network
- Remote server appears due to connection to the Internet
- Portable disk appears due to insertion into computer
- Windows Mobile phone appears due to docking to desktop.
- Start When The software Starts or Windows Logs Off
The software may starts synchronization automatically when you start The software,
say, on Windows Logon. Or when you logoff from Windows session. - Auto Mount of Network Shares
The software automatically mounts network share folders when “Analyze” is started. - Logs of Actions and Changes Report
All changes are reported, with file modifications, on the tree. All file operations
performed by The software are logged to log file and on screen. A change report
is available for tracking and analysis. - E-Mail Log of Automatic Sync
The software has an option to send e-mail with synchronization session results,
once the sync session has been completed.
Reliability and Robustness
- Automatic Reconnect for Remote Folders
The software automatically reconnects remote folders if they lose connection
during Analyze or Sync. - Portable Paths for Removable Drives
Portable paths for sync folders ensure that the volume that has unique Volume
Name will be found no matter what disk letter it gets. - Auto Backup of Replaced Files
You can set-up The software to automatically save a copy of the file that The
software is about to replace when syncing. This setting allows you to always
maintain the last two versions of any file. - Free Space Required Predicted
The software computes Free Space needed to complete Sync before you start it,
so you know whether you have enough disk space before you start. - Fast Pre-Analyze Option
Do not run Analyze on server side if only The software changes server side.
File Backup
The Software backs up files by copying from a source folder to a destination
folder. Files are changed by the user only on the source folder, with changes
sent to the destination folder for backup.
Backing up your data is a necessity so when important images, spreadsheets,
MP3s, financial documents, and emails are lost, you are able to easily restore
them with your backup copy on the destination folder. With file backup, your
data is sent in one direction, to a destination folder on a location where it
can be safely stored.
Backing up your files is important whether you want to completely restore a
computer following a crash, or to restore small numbers of files after they have
been accidentally deleted or corrupted. Backups are typically the last line of
defense against data loss. With the software you can back up files to a
different location or device, including but not limited to flash drives,
servers, laptops, desktops, or other external drives. The Software also supports
FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, and Amazon S3. All file backups are fast and secure, and can
be completed locally, over a network, or over the internet.
Why is our file backup superior to traditional backup?
- It is faster and more efficient. It file backup employs a
sophisticated synchronization algorithm to detect which files on the
source folder have been changed, and only backs up the files that have
been changed by the user. This is much more efficient than backing up
the entire source folder every time files are backed up like traditional
backup services. - It provides easy access to your files. Unlike traditional file backup
services, it directly backs up and updates the actual data files
themselves. Instead of creating an image of the source data that has to
go through a cumbersome restoration process, it makes an identical
replication of the files in the source folder when transferring to the
destination folder. In the event of data loss in the source folder, this
means that files in the destination folder can be launched immediately,
thereby reducing any unnecessary downtime. - It has the most options for file storage. It backs up files that are in
folders that are located on a hard drive, network, removable drive, FTP,
SFTP, WebDAV, or Amazon S3. It can backup files locally, through a
network, or through the internet. It is available for Windows and Mac
and can be installed on a workstation, usb drive, or a server.
File Synchronization
File Synchronization is the process of ensuring that folders in two or more separate locations contain identical up-to-date files. If you add, change, or delete a file from one location, the synchronization process will add, change, or delete the same file at the other location. Files are copied in both directions, keeping the two or more locations in sync with each other. The Software will not only synchronize all your data, but analyze, filter, and display results, ensuring you avoid duplicates and synchronize only the files you need and do not delete the wrong files by accident.
File synchronization allows users to access the same version of files on multiple locations, such as directories on a computer, or removable storage devices such as flash drives. The Software also supports file synchronization over the internet to folders on FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, and Amazon S3. Wherever your files may be, when two locations are synchronized with The Software, the most current version of a file is available at all locations, regardless of where and when it was last modified.
Why is file synchronization useful?
Although it is possible to copy files between directories manually, using The Software is faster and less error prone. The Software’s powerful file synchronization algorithm takes all the guesswork out of keeping all of your important files up-to-date.
Why is This Software the best file synchronization utility?
- The Software has the most automation features. The Software allows you to automate the file synchronization process by giving the option to synchronize regularly at a given time of day or whenever a particular system action occurs (eg. when a USB drive is inserted or during system start-up). The Software also has strong filtering technology that allows you to include (or exclude) only the folders and files that you wish to sync.
- The Software has the most options for file storage. It synchronizes files located on a hard drive, network, removable drive, FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, or Amazon S3. It can synchronize files locally, through a network, or through the internet. It is available for Windows and Mac and can be installed on a workstation, USB drive, or a server.
- It has the most robust technology. It’s sophisticated algorithm and bit-by-bit synchronization ensures complete accuracy and protects against data loss. Even if there’s a power outage in the middle of a synchronization, The Sofware will pick up and finish the synchronization right where it left off. The Software is scalable enough to withstand synchronization jobs ranging from five files to five million files without fail.
