Data Backup Software
If you are concerned about losing any of your data stored on hard drives, then data backup software is an important issue. The following will list the reviews of the top ten data backup software available for 2007.
1) FalconStor Software
This Data backup software uses centralized IPStor platform and disk-based methodology. FalconStor has changed the traditional way data backup software is used. FalconStor's innovative approach provides flexible storage solutions that are easy to deploy, allowing companies to minimize downtime, rapidly recover, optimize efficiency, recognize fast ROI, and meet or exceed RTO and RPO requirements.
2) BMC Software When a customer's company is large, the bigger the data management problems usually are. Data backup software for these types of customers is the segment which BMC focuses on. That makes this particular company and data backup software very specialized. The current selection of data backup software is not designed for the home PC user. 3) Microsoft Although the benefits from Microsoft's "SSD-aware" features in the Vista OS did not perform as expected - at least the company tried. It will do better next time. Microsoft does however offer other types of data backup software for both businesses and the PC user. Programs such as 'XP' come with internal data backup software, but for this type of backup you have to have the disc room. 4) Tabernus This company was originally known for helping oems write better driver software for SAS and FC drives (drive to drive back up)- the company was one of the first to make a splash in the disk sanitizer market (hard drive cleaning after backup)- a move which eventually led to them also selling hardware. 5) Quest Software The LiteSpeed for SQL Server data backup software compresses data up to 95 percent, in half the time required by other backup solutions. LiteSpeed speeds up restore times through its ability to recover individual database objects and encapsulate complete database restores into a single file to reduce time and conflicts. 6) Symantec Although best known for its many security and anti malware products - this company is also one of the world's biggest storage software ISVs due to its merger with VERITAS Software in 2005. In August 2007 Symantec launched version 6.5 of NetBackup which is their version of data backup software. Among other things the new version of NetBackup supports data duplication, encryption and virtual tape - which are common themes in data backup software. 7) Atempo
This company is best known for its Time Navigator data backup software and recovery product line. Atempo supports more than one platform; Unix, Linux, Windows and MAC OS. 8) Arkeia Arkeia is another example of a software vendor, who edged into data backup software sales - with its EdgeFort disk to disk backup appliance and software which started shipping in July 2007. 9) NTI The company is best known for its desktop data backup software products with the Ninja line. January 2007 NTI launched a new version of its Ninja encryption software that runs on the encrypted external USB drive to enable password protected file sharing between PCs that don't have Ninja installed therefore enabling more control over utilizing data backup software for shared files. 10) Exanet Exanet continues to break the data backup software storage limits with its ExaStore clustered NAS software solution. Designed for mainly large enterprise customers, ExaStore delivers capacity-on-demand for data-intensive applications while simplifying network storage management with its tremendous data backup software. Microsoft still seems to lead the way when it comes to data backup software for the PC user although MAC is rapidly gaining ground.
