From CEOs to sales representatives, unprotected business critical data on mobile and remote PCs increases the exposure to lost revenues and productivity due to data loss. IT departments are very diligent about backing up data on servers, but often have difficulty in ensuring that mobile and remote clients are backed up in an automated, secure and scalable way.

dso’s i-stor PC and laptop backup service allows you to backup business critical information held on personal computers and laptops and quickly and easily recover it whenever the need arises. The i-stor service uses the Internet to backup and restore data so that as long as you are connected to the Internet, you’re backed up data is always available, always on-line.

i-stor utilises Brightstor Arcserve for Laptops & Desktops from CA, one of the largest software companies in the world which means that you can be confident that i-stor will provide the best of breed reliability, performance and features, both now and in the future.

i-stor infrastructure is provided in partnership with NTT (Nippon Telephony & Telegraph), the worlds largest telecommunications company.

Easy to Install and Configure. Individual users can simply install the service using the intuitive set up wizard for the ultimate out-of-the-box experience.

Low Bandwidth Optimisation. Rather than transmitting entire files, only byte-level or block-level file changes are backed up. In addition, the data is compressed before transmission to the i-stor backup servers. The user can also specify that the backup occurs only when the machine is not in use. Other advance features, such as bandwidth throttling, means that the on-line backup uses only a fraction of the Internet bandwidth available to the PC.

Disconnected Backup and Restore. Initiates the backup process without an Internet connection, processing file changes according to the user’s backup set and storing them for transmission when an Internet connection is available. This helps ensure that backups and restores occur regardless of the user’s environment or location.

Open File Agent. Allows users to backup all information, even if it is in use.

Point in Time File Restorations. The restoration functions also include an easy to use search facility which allows users to restore files by version or date, providing a point-in-time restoration of the information in case of virus, deletions or file corruption.

Recovery of Multiple Revisions. The number of revisions stored of each file is simple to set up. The block-/byte-level tracking minimizes the amount of space required to store multiple versions of files.

Deleted File Retention Rules. Provides the option to keep deleted files for a period of time, keep them indefinitely or remove them permanently.

Data Encryption Protects the information as it is transmitted to the i-stor servers over the Internet.
