CloudBerry Lab LLC has released CloudBerry Backup version 2.4, an application that allows users to backup their data online to their cloud storage accounts such as Amazon S3, Windows Azure and Google Storage.

Disaster recovery planning is often times an afterthought that comes to light when disaster strikes. Very seldom do companies fully recover from loss of critical data which could lead to loss of business. CloudBerry Backup provides an online backup and restore software designed to leverage Amazon S3 online storage to make disaster recovery plan simple, reliable, and affordable.

New version of CloudBerry Backup comes with an ability to backup only the modified blocks of the files of any size to the Amazon S3 making the overall backup process faster and more efficient. Block Level Backup is useful if you want to copy large files such as SQL Server Backup files, MS Exchange Database, Outlook PST files and virtual machine images.  

CloudBerry Backup leverages its own data format to process the files of any size and to provide for data compression, encryption and data versioning. Furthermore, CloudBerry Backup is a client program that doesn’t require any additional server software to process the modified blocks.

CloudBerry Backup is also available as a Windows Home Server 2011 and Small Business Server 2011 Essentials add-on. It integrates with the WHS console and offers scheduled backup to cloud storage, hosted on Amazon S3.

CloudBerry Backup is designed to work on Windows XP/Vista/7 and Windows Server 2003/2008. Command line interface allows partners and advanced computer users integrate backup and restore plans with other routines.

CloudBerry S3 Backup for Windows costs $29.99 (US) for a single-user license. Volume discounts are available. CloudBerry Backup will be offered without charge to students, educational institutions and non-profit organizations. You will continue to pay Amazon directly for their S3 charges.
