What advantages does BackupAssist have over built-in Windows backup applications (NTBackup, wbadmin, etc) and scheduled tasks?
There are a number of benefits and advantages that BackupAssist offers over the standard Windows Backup, including the following: • No need to write scripts or batch files: this saves you time, effort, and reduces the possibility of errors. • Implement an industry-standard backup scheme automatically using BackupAssist. We put the hard work in, so you won’t have to devise a media rotation strategy yourself. • If a backup fails, you’ll know about it. The backup status emails mean that you have the results of each backup delivered to your inbox, so you can at once see if anything went wrong with the backup. Scheduled jobs may be used to schedule a backup, but if it fails you are often given no warning at all. • Minimize human error. The sending of reminder emails to your secretary / office assistant will minimize the chances of human error in your backup strategy. • Open file backup support automatically using BackupAssist. • Additional backup engines and add-ons, such as File Replicatio
