Carbonite Server Backup

Before most of us heard the term "cloud," Carbonite Server Backup (Formerly EVault) was the forerunner of "Cloud backup." Carbonite was built from the ground up to work in the cloud, rather than adapting existing backup technology to work over the internet.

Key advantages of Carbonite Server Backup:

  • Deduplication, compression, and CBT (Changed Block Tracking) techniques on the source side reduce the amount of data that needs to be backed up.
  • It provides encryption of data with a private key on the source side, making data recovery impossible if the defined password is forgotten (no backdoor).
  • If the source server's CPU usage is high, the smart and adaptive compression technique adjusts the backup performance according to the density; this benefit is reflected in the fact that the source server's performance is not adversely affected during the backup.
  • It supports a wide range of applications and operating systems. (Windows, Linux, Unix, AS400, IB MAX, SQL, Oracle, VMware, Hyper-V, and a variety of other operating systems).
  • By simply installing a backup agent, you can protect your data in the cloud or in a hybrid (on-premises + cloud) model.
  • It's a cloud/hybrid data protection solution that's extremely practical, fast, agile, and reliable.

Carbonite Backup for Microsoft 365

Carbonite Backup for Microsoft 365 offers comprehensive backup for the entire Microsoft 365 suite. With an unmatched level of flexibility, it allows businesses to recover individual files and folders and permission settings. It also protects data from a variety of daily data loss scenarios that are not natively covered in Microsoft 365. Additionally, it is easily deployed through Microsoft Active Directory integration.

Key advantages of Carbonite Backup for Microsoft 365

  • Protect the entire Microsoft 365 suite, including SharePoint, OneDrive, Email, and Teams, with this all-in-one solution.
  • Fast recovery: Undo or recover individual items such as mailboxes, conversations, and files at the site level.
  • Backup and retention: You can schedule automatic backups up to four times per day.
  • Legal hold, audit reporting, role-based access, APIs, and export all help to simplify administrative tasks.
  • Protect against data loss threats such as human error, hardware failure, and ransomware with data loss prevention.

Carbonite Availability (HA)

By preventing downtime and data loss, Carbonite Availability software ensures organizations maintain peak availability of Windows and Linux servers. The software accomplishes this through a continuous replication mechanism that keeps a backup copy of the data without putting a strain on the primary system or network bandwidth. It's a comprehensive, seamless replication solution for organizations with physical, virtual, or cloud-based IT environments.

Key advantages of Carbonite Availability:

  • Support for physical systems: Physical systems that are typically critical to operations are frequently left out of disaster plans. The Carbonite Availability solution can replicate Microsoft Windows or Linux servers on any underlying platform and to any target: physical, virtual, or cloud, ensuring that all IT systems are protected. This allows IT to unify the business continuity solution across all platforms into a single solution.
  • No lag, and no data loss: Carbonite Availability replicates changes in the source environment to a secondary target anywhere in the world on a continuous basis. The changes are transmitted in real time after the initial replication is complete, keeping the copy in sync. Files, applications, or the entire server, including system settings, are replicated by the software.
  • Fast failovers prevent downtime: In the event of a system or data center disaster, failover to a secondary location can be initiated quickly. With only a few seconds or minutes of downtime, secondary systems start up and users are redirected.
  • Zero performance impact: Carbonite Availability-protected production servers will not experience any performance degradation because of replication. The impact on network performance is minimal because changes are captured and transmitted at the Byte level.
