Technical Features

Continuous data protection

iHost Offsite Backup Service‘s advanced continuous data protection (CDP) technology captures every version of the data a file that has been saved to your hard drive. With CDP, even if your hard drive crashes completely after you have worked for a full day without invoking backup manually yourself, the saved copy of your working files will still be intact on the backup server. It provides a highly dependable means of real-time, continuous data protection for servers, desktops, and laptops effortlessly and transparently, without any human intervention.

Back up Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express

Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express are the two most popular email readers used by businesses and home users. Equipped with the capability for storing large amount of data efficiently, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express are now being used by many users to store large amount of important data in addition to being merely a communication tool. However, backing up data stored in these two email readers is a headache to most users, as few users know where to find the related files storing the personal information (e.g. “.pst”, “.dbx”) and address book (“.wab”) used by these email readers to back up. With the iHost Desktop Backup Manager or iHost Server Backup Manager, users can back up these data easily by simply checking a single checkbox (see below).

Moreover, with iHost Offsite Backup Service backup and restore operations for large amount of data in these two email readers wouldn't be headache anymore because our aforementioned in-file delta technology has made backing up of data files (e.g. Microsoft Outlook's ".pst" files) with size up to 20GB an operation that can be completed within a few minutes even over slow Internet connection. Backing up of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express has never been easier before without iHost Offsite Backup Service.

All platforms and common databases supported

iHost Offsite Backup Service supports all leading operating systems which can run Java2 Runtime Environment 1.4.2 or above, which are essentially all operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac, NetWare, NAS devices, etc. Besides, iHost Offsite Backup Service – Server Edition comes with modules specially designed for backing up common database applications, including Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Lotus Notes/Domino, Oracle and MySQL. This allows you to back up all these databases professionally as recommended by their respective software vendor easily without requiring you to know how it works technically behind the scenes. If the databases or application you are using in-house are not listed here, don’t worry. Our extensible and easily configurable command line tools enable you to add custom backup logics to basic backup operation through simple scripting.

Back up 500GB in one night

Our seed load and in-file delta technologies enable backup of a large volume of data to be completed in a very short period of time. The seed load feature allows backup of the large volume of data to a local hard drive. With our proprietary in-file delta technology, the original file is required to be backed up once only, i.e. in the first backup job. Subsequently, only the changes within the file made since the previous backup are necessary to be backed up.

For example, for a file that is as large as 500GB, you can simply seed load the full backup to a removable local hard drive and then deliver the seed loaded data in the removable hard drive to the backup server. Since only the changes made within the 500GB file, normally less than 1%, i.e. 5GB, of the original file size, are required to be backed up again, this amount of data can be backed up easily to the server via the Internet or Intranet in one night. As a result, instead of having to back up 500GB everyday, you just need to back up 5GB everyday to keep the file up-to-date on the backup server.
