GFI Max Adds Usability Features to Backup Solution for MSPs

GFI MAX (GFI Software) announced the latest version of GFI MAX Backup, its hybrid cloud backup and recovery service for MSPs.

The service offering includes enhanced client discovery and remote deployment features, as well as simpler VM restore capabilities, which reduce the amount of time and effort that need to be expended by MSPs to ensure that their clients’ systems are backed up and safe and deliver optimal RTOs.

Features include:

Client Discovery and Remote Deployment – Previously a task that required MSPs to manually access each of their customers’ systems to deploy the backup client, customers can now deploy the Windows client on a single machine on their customer’s network and then automate the discovery of the remaining systems present in the organization, choosing which they would like to deploy software on and include in regular backup processes.
Easy VM Restore – Simplified restore capabilities for VMware preserves VM system configurations during backup, enabling a direct restore to an existing or alternate VMware host without the need to manually configure the target VM and volumes beforehand. This improves usability and recoverability for VMware backups by eliminating the manual steps previously required.
Skip Files During Restore – Customers have the option to skip or ignore processing files that are already present during a file system, network share, SQL, SharePoint or Hyper-V restore, increasing restore performance.
Multi-threaded Restore – Multi-threaded restore enables parallel processing during restore operations and improves performance when sufficient bandwidth and system resources exist.
Fully Web-Based Backup Manager – A HTML-based backup client that maintains existing functionality while providing usability and simplified branding capabilities.

“Our managed backup solutions allow our MSPs to increase recurring revenue and build stronger relationships by delivering best-in-class backup and recovery services to their customers, protecting their data and ensuring continuous and uninterrupted business operations,” said Dr. Alistair Forbes, GM, GFI MAX business unit. “With these new enhancements, GFI MAX MSPs are better positioned to provide simple, effective and customizable backup and DR services that meet the unique needs of each of their clients.“
