Backup and Restore

Modern solution proven to provide business continuity.

Discover how Gsoft protects systems both onsite and in the cloud with flexible restore and rapid recovery.

The exponential growth of data worldwide has made managing backups more difficult than ever before. While the cloud offers better scalability, building cloud-enabled backup solutions requires careful consideration of existing IT investments, recovery objectives, and available resources. Gcloud back up is a secure, agent-based backup and recovery solution for physical, virtual and legacy systems. Recognized for its flexibility, Gcloud offers various deployment options and the ability to restore current or historical data from the cloud or a local appliance. It also reduces costs by providing a fully integrated cloud component from a single vendor.

How it works

Customizable layers of protection
  • The local backup server connects to the host and takes a backup of the selected systems

  • The backed-up data is compressed, reducing the data footprint, minimizing the impact on the network and accelerating uploads to the cloud, since less data needs to be transferred.

  • Once seeded, the server performs incremental backups, recording only changes.

  • The backup server updates on a set schedule, while sending changes securely on a separate schedule to the cloud.

Benefits

Disaster Recovery

The benefit of having backup data in Gcloud is the access you have to cloud-native tools that can evolve your backup solution into one for disaster recovery. Use gcloud services to rebuild on-premises environments and create resiliency against natural disasters and failures.

Flexibility & scalability

Scale up your backup resources in minutes as data requirements change . With Gcloud, you no longer need to wait weeks-to-months to procure disks, and other IT resources to increase your storage infrastructure. This ability to scale on demand can improve operational flexibility, innovation, and business agility.

Affordable

 Small businesses don’t have unlimited IT budgets. It’s important to use a solution that makes sense and won’t require your customer to incur a capital expenditure. For as low as a few hundred dollars per year, your customers can have all of their data backed up to the cloud.

Automatic

Time is one of the most commonly stated reasons companies aren’t backing up their data. Cloud backup doesn’t require an additional time commitment for you or your customer. Computer files are backed up to the cloud automatically and continuously, whenever you’re connected to the Internet.

Security & compliance

Protect backups with a data center and network architecture built for the most security-sensitive organizations. Manage access, detect irregular activity, encrypt data, and perform audits with Gcloud Security services. Gcloud also maintains compliance programs to help you meet all of your regulatory requirements.

Hybrid cloud backup

With cloud connectors and gateways, customers can begin backing up their on-premises data to Gcloud for durable data protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gcloud Backup allows for backups of various applications. However, Gcloudoffers software agents for some of the more common software systems that are backed up, which include: Bare metal restore, Microsoft SQL and Oracle. Each agent is available as an add-on to your GcloudBackup and Restore service.
You can back up your data as frequently as you like. Backups can be made manually or can be scheduled as a single or recurring instance made daily, weekly, monthly or on a custom schedule. Schedules can be updated or cancelled at any time.
Gcloud Backup allows for data-retention depending on where you want to roll back to. Daily retention schemes hold data for seven days, while weekly schemes hold data for one month, and monthly schemes hold data for one year. At the end of each period, the oldest data set is rotated out and the first "delta backup" made becomes the oldest available restore point.
You can also choose to store data in encrypted format. You must remember your encryption password. Your data can't be restored without your password. If you lose your password, you won't be able to get your data back.
You can still save and retrieve your backups even if you reached the limit of the capacity that you purchased previously. However, you are going to receive an extra charge for every additional GB that was used in the next billing statement.
