Gillware Remote Backup Overview

Gillware Remote Backup was designed with the intention of eliminating many of the shortcomings that plague conventional data backup solutions.  The Gillware Remote Backup software launches automatically at computer start-up, and runs in the background as the computer is used.  Two key product features help to automate the backup process.  First, Gillware Remote Backup runs automatic scans of the user's computer looking for files marked for backup, and backs up any marked files according to a backup schedule that the user sets.  Four default scan schedules are available allowing the user to define how often particular files and folders are scanned for backup.  

Second, Gillware Remote Backup allows the user to individually mark any file or folder  they would like included in their remote backup volume.  When marking a file or folder for backup the user also defines how often they would like the file to be backed up, and how many revisions they would like to retain of the file.

The user can also perform an instant backup by simply right-clicking the file or folder they wish to backup and selecting "Backup Remotely Now " from the menu.  Icon overlays allow the user to easily view the backup status of any file.

The Gillware Remote Backup Status Viewer provides a window through which the user can monitor the activity of Gillware Remote Backup.  From the viewer the user can see what files are actively being backed up and restored.  Files being uploaded can also be canceled from the Gillware Status Viewer window pane.

Another unique feature of Gillware Remote Backup is that it allows the user to easily view all files and folders currently stored in their backup volume at Gillware Data Services.  Users can browse through their backup volume real-time in order to see the files and number of revisions of each file they have backed up.

One of the key benefits of Gillware Remote Backup is that the user can retrieve a file from their remote backup volume with the click of a button as long as they have access to the internet.  In order to retrieve a file or folder   the user simply navigates through their remote backup volume to the file or folder they are interested in restoring to their computer.  They then right-click the file and select the "retrieve" or "restore to." option.

The user can monitor the progress of their restore from the Gillware Remote Backup Status Viewer.  In instances where it is necessary for the user to restore large amounts of data, or perform a full system restore, Gillware Data Services will provide the user with a full copy of their backup data set on an external USB drive.  This allows the user to quickly restore all of their backed up data to their computer.
