SharePoint backup
"Right now, we have 150 gigabytes of data in our SharePoint environment, and we've compressed that into a 100 GB data store. That's phenomenal for us. Saving space with our SharePoint backups is huge. If we had to keep 150 GB active for weekly backups over two months, we're talking about having to have 2 or 3 terabytes of drive space."
- Paul Nath, Denver Health
Key Benefits of SharePoint backup
Fast retrieval and recovery of SharePoint content (from site collections to individual documents):
Searching for objects (sites, folders, documents, etc) across backups is a time-consuming and challenging task that can take days or even weeks! Idera SharePoint backup has an innovative and powerful IntelliSearch™ engine that searches across multiple backups. This enables users to quickly retrieve the objects they require, whether an entire site collection or an individual document. Recovery and retrieval operations that used to take weeks can now be accomplished in minutes , with a couple of clicks.
Self-service SharePoint Recovery™:
For site collection administrators and site owners! In many companies, SharePoint is used by thousands of users and stores hundreds of thousands or even millions of documents. Obviously it is impossible for a SharePoint farm administrator to handle all the requests for content recovery generated by these users. Idera SharePoint backup provides the ability for site collection and site administrators to recover their own content. This is accomplished by an easy to use Web part that enables users to search, browse backups and recover their documents .Site collection administrators and site owners don't need to wait for a single document to be restored by a farm admin, and farm admins don't need to spend hours or days handling requests for document recovery, a true win-win situation!
Easy to use - caters for 'accidental administrators'
Recognizing that many organizations don't have dedicated full-time SharePoint administrators, or don't have enough of them , Idera SharePoint backup was designed to be easy to use by anybody, no matter what their level of SharePoint expertise. Initiating backup and recovery operations is obvious and easy using the Ribbon user interface and wizards. Users can view the status of operations in real time using an easy to understand progress monitor.
Backup automation
Idera SharePoint backup provides a powerful and flexible scheduling engine that ensures your content is always protected. Backup jobs may be schedule as required - hourly, daily, weekly - whatever is appropriate for the volatility of your content. In addition, load balancing and fault tolerant operation features ensure that your backups run efficiently each and every time.
Reduced Backup Storage
Backup site collections and sites according to how often critical information is changed. Specific sub-sites may need to be backed up more often and entire site collections may only need to be backed up once a month. Idera SharePoint backup enables you to backup site collections and sites independently, as often as you wish depending on your business needs. Also, Idera SharePoint backup uses Idera's IntelliCompress™ data compression engine to reduce the size of backup files up to 95%. This provides significant savings in storage costs!
Only backup content that has changed!
Running full backups of entire SharePoint site collections or sites requires large amounts of disk space, lengthy backup operations, and unnecessary backups of unchanged, duplicated data. It's both time consuming and costly! With Idera SharePoint backup, users can easily execute manual or scheduled differential backups of just content that has changed since the last full backup, saving administrators time and valuable storage space.
