KineticD Hybrid Cloud Backup for Mac

KineticD
announced that its
Backup for Mac supports end users who are looking for a solution
for backing up files continuously and automatically, and restoring
data lost from a system crash.

More than 66 million users have chosen
Mac today and while it’s true that Apple has developed backup
mechanisms into its software, TimeMachine and iCloud were designed
for the consumer market. As the Mac user base continues to grow, SMBs
are looking for a cloud backup solution for both Mac and PC systems
that supports and protects ongoing data entry and file versioning
that occurs throughout a business day.

When systems integrator, Colin Doll,
president of Vast-IT, Inc. in
Pickering, ON, received an emergency call from his customer, a Mac
user, he learned that their accounting program had crashed, taking
with it several hundred invoices. Not only was the entire network
down but employees were unable to utilize the system until it was
repaired and the data was restored.

"Many of our customers use PCs
and Macs within their environment, so one of the key elements in
choosing a cloud backup provider was to support Mac and
PC users equally," said Doll. "Four years ago, we
conducted extensive research before we chose KineticD as our backup
vendor of choice. Since then, this partnership has allowed us to
extend our services without the cost of installing and maintaining
our own cloud. They are in one word, amazing."

In 45 minutes, Doll had walked his
customer through the steps to log in to the KineticD cloud and
download the latest backup set from the server. After 90 minutes, the
application restored and the customer found out that all but three
invoices had been restored as well. More importantly for Doll and his
team was the ease of use in supporting his customer from his office,
without the need for a site visit.

"With the proliferation of Mac
devices in the corporate world today, it is important to provide our
customers with a well rounded solution for their data protection
initiatives," said Jamie Brenzel, CEO, KineticD. "We
know that our clients have multiple devices at their disposal and our
goal is to make sure that every laptop, workstation and server is
protected, regardless of the operating system."

It provides the option of backing up
and restoring corporate data from the company’s cloud, using the
centralized web portal. With this technology, SMBs are able to
restore any combination of files, folders and backup sets across any
number of Macs, including a system restore of application
and files. KineticMobile iOS app is compatible with iPhones,
iPads and iPods, providing control over access to corporate data
whenever needed.
