This requires no activation by the end user and he is not even aware of what files are being backed up as this is established by your IT resources manager.
In addition, the software provides the IT manager with a series of reports on the status of each laptop as to what programmes are on the laptop, the files recently accessed and the performance and hardware assets of the said laptop.
Brightstor Mobile Backup effectively returns the control of the mobile network to management.
Brightstor Mobile Backup uses a byte delta analysis technique that extracts only the changed bytes from your target files and then sends only these bytes, compressed and encrypted, back to the central server.
What is more it computes these backup packets off-line providing further savings on telecommunications costs.
Naturally, the data that is backed up, either in your file server or a separate Data Vault is under your security in case of damage, theft or loss.
The replacement of all of the current data (to the date of the last backup or previous dates if required) can be easily downloaded to the replacement unit with a minimum of effort.
Data replacement is no longer a time consuming and security conscious issue with the use of Brightstor Mobile Backup.
One extra feature of Brightstor Mobile Backup is that it will provide management with an easy to use file-reporting system that can be accessed by management at any time.
This provides an asset snapshot of the machine and provides such information as BIOS levels, Windows release levels, changed files and much more.
Because of the byte delta approach to backup full file history is maintained which provides a "back in time" capability.
