Dell Online Backup & Restore comes with checkpoint restart. This means that if a backup is interrupted for any reason, the next time data is backed up from that device, the backup resumes from previous point of interruption and does not start over. This is another way that Dell Online Backup & Restore minimizes the bandwidth impact on each device and on your network.
