With Retrospect Backup, businesses around the world can now protect their critical infrastructure on Retrospect Cloud Storage, with complete support for immutable backups and anomaly detection, as well as on-premise with Retrospect’s deep support for NAS devices and tape libraries.
Businesses need to understand not only what is in a backup but what changed between backups. Using anomaly detection and backup comparison, administrators can identify exactly which files changed to signal an anomaly and evaluate their contents to isolate valid ransomware infections.
Many ransomware variants depend on unpatched systems for infiltration. Retrospect Backup now utilizes its extensive footprint to aggregate system information and identify systems that are out of compliance with the latest version of each operating system.
Retrospect Management Console dashboard will be redesigned to better aggregate information for larger environments to address reporting pains in significantly larger backup infrastructure.
Cloud backup is significantly faster with multi-part upload support across the major cloud storage services.
Retrospect will support an additional type of retention where Retrospect extends the period on past backups instead of including that data in new backups.
Retrospect will support blob storage on Microsoft Azure for Government to enhance support for state and local agencies looking for data protection in a US-based high-security data center.
Identity protection is important even for on-premise applications. Retrospect Backup will support configuration encryption and multi-factor authentication (MFA) combined with a password prompt. Even if an attacker gains administrative access to the computer where Retrospect Backup runs, they will not be able to access the program or the configuration files. In addition, Retrospect Management Console supports multi-factor authentication.
Retrospect Backup supports LTO-9 tape libraries for fast data protection to tape storage.
On Retrospect Management Console, administrators will be able to access a full audit log for actions taken by any users on their account.
On Retrospect Management Console, organizations will be able to assign roles to individual users, with "Administrators" able to access any function within the service and "Viewers" able to utilize the extensive reporting capabilities without worrying about changing any settings.
Retrospect's high-level dashboard provides a high-level view of the entire state of your backup environment.
Heterogeneous networks are protected using Retrospect’s native client software, ensuring perfect backups regardless of operating system.
Retrospect supports a variety of encryption algorithms, including AES-256, for both at-rest and in-transit security options.
Intelligent incremental backups enable Retrospect to backup up only new or changed files.
Retrospect always restores exactly the files that belong on a volume; no unwanted files get restored and later require cleanup.
Grooming allows customers to stay protected with a long-term backup retention policy to ensure recovery from yesterday, last month, or five years ago, using storage that fits their budget.
Retrospect integrates with the latest monitoring systems, including Nagios, Slack, and IFTTT.
Retrospect maximizes storage usage by only copying unique files—even across multiple computers—to the backup media.
Boot media can be created for nearly every Windows system protected by Retrospect to provide fast recovery from a non-bootable state.
Retrospect supports most types of magnetic media for backup, including hard disk drives, network-attached disk, cloud storage, flash media, and every major tape format.
To include or skip specific files, folders, and volumes, or to back up only specific data to cloud storage, Retrospect includes both built-in and user-definable selectors that filter data based on a multitude of conditions, including file names, dates, and types.
To reduce the overall power demands for backups, Retrospect awakens sleeping/stand-by mode computers to back them up and then allows them to return to their low-power state.
Use the free Retrospect iOS app on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch to keep tabs on backups over Wi-Fi or 3/4G.
Protects open files on NTFS-formatted volumes on Windows servers, desktops, and laptops. This add-on makes it possible to protect line-of-business applications—such as accounting, CRM, and proprietary database systems—while they’re running, even those with data files spread across multiple volumes. Retrospect’s Open File Backup Unlimited add-on extends to all Windows systems protected by your Retrospect host server, including end-user desktops and laptops.
Makes it possible to recover an entire boot volume—including the OS, applications, registry, and data—to a different physical computer, such as a newer model or even one from a different manufacturer entirely. Retrospect’s Dissimilar Hardware Restore Unlimited add-on extends to all Windows systems protected by your Retrospect host server, including end-user desktops and laptops.
