Robobak: Data Protection Suite Software Version 8.1

ROBOBAK, in agentless data protection software designed for remote and branch offices, announced the immediate availability of Version 8.1 of its Data Protection Suite software. The improved software enables companies to protect their data in a fraction of the time required by earlier versions, giving them greater confidence that they will be able to backup increasing amounts of data in ever-shrinking windows, while restoring lost or corrupted data in less time and enabling them to resume full business operations.

Tests conducted earlier this month at the ROBOBAK Testing Laboratories using Version 8.1 produced initial backups of 500 gigabytes of data on commodity hardware in one-fifth less time; subsequent, incremental backups, adding 100 megabytes of information, were conducted in almost half the time, a dramatic improvement over earlier versions of ROBOBAK’s already-speedy performance. Version 8.1’s data recovery capabilities were even more impressive: ROBOBAK Labs personnel performed a restore of 1.6 million files (totaling 500 gigabytes) using Version 8.1, in 30 percent less time than required under Version 8.

“We’ve always prided ourselves at developing software that enables administrators to rapidly protect their data, regardless of where it’s located. This is more important than ever, as companies must backup more data from more locations than ever before,” said Ron Roberts, ROBOBAK’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The superior performance delivered in Version 8.1 gives us our customers the ability to laugh at what were shrinking backup windows, while restoring information lost from a variety of disasters with greater assurance and speed.”

Roberts said Version 8.1 also introduces improved ability for administrators to use any Web browser to recover lost data. The software, he said, enables point-and-click simplicity in the restore process, while allowing recovery of any version of a file previously backed up, a key factor at businesses where information may be accidentally ‘fat-fingered’ and lost.

Introduced earlier this year, ROBOBAK’s Version 8 Data Protection Suite software offers a full range of advanced features, enabling companies to adopt a unified approach in protecting data from remote and branch locations. With advantages such as agentless installation, ‘real-world’ continuous data protection (CDP), auto-discovery, source-based file de-duplication, and support for Microsoft Exchange 2007, SQL Server and more, ROBOBAK has rapidly become the leader in agentless remote data protection software.

ROBOBAK’s Version 8 Data Protection Suite software is available exclusively from the company’s worldwide channel of authorized resellers.
