It provides administrators with a complete set of tools to schedule and manage backups, monitor operations, broadcast notifications, and empower their users with self-service granular restore capabilities.

Full Farm Protection

Critical farm coverage: Protects SharePoint 2010 content databases, service applications, search, and farm configuration data

Enterprise-ready: Employs the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to take quick and consistent snapshots of SharePoint 2010 environments of any size

Lightning fast: Fast file operations are tuned to back up and restore data quickly

SQLsafe™ technology: Integrates SQLsafe encryption and compression to keep backups safe and compact

Differential backups: Backups execute more quickly and consume less storage space by including only the farm components that have changed since the last full backup

Key Benefits [-]

Lightning fast full-farm protection for SharePoint 2010 environments

Proper protection of a SharePoint environment requires the coordinated capture of data that is tied to content databases, service applications, search data, and farm configuration information. In addition, complete SharePoint protection must oftentimes include file system components such as the SharePoint Root, Internet Information Services (IIS) settings, .NET Global Assembly Cache (GAC), and more. Idera SharePoint backup uses enterprise-class Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) technology, lightning-fast file operations, powerful compression algorithms, and encryption to rapidly create backup sets that are highly compact and secure.

Friendly and easy-to-use interface lets you backup up and restore in no time

Just because SharePoint backup and restore is complicated doesn't mean your protection product should be hard-to-use. Recognizing that many organizations don’t have dedicated full-time SharePoint administrators, or don’t have enough of them, Idera SharePoint backup's management console was designed to be easy-to-use by anybody regardless of their level of SharePoint expertise. Wizards make initiating backup and restore operations very straightforward, and users can track the progress and throughput of operations in real time.

Fast retrieval and recovery of SharePoint content

Searching for objects (sites, folders, documents, etc.) across backups is a time consuming and challenging task that can take hours, 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 those objects are entire site collections or individual documents. Retrieval and restoration operations that used to take prohibitively large amounts of time can now be accomplished in minutes with only a couple of clicks.

Self-service SharePoint Recovery™

In many companies, SharePoint is used by thousands of users and stores hundreds of thousands or even millions of documents. It can be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for a SharePoint farm administrator to handle all user requests for content recovery. Idera SharePoint backup provides site collection and site administrators with the ability to search, browse backups, and recover their own content. Site collection administrators and site owners don’t need to wait forever for a single document to be restored by a farm administrator, and farm administrators don’t need to spend hours or days handling requests for document recovery – a true win-win situation.

Solid security for peace-of-mind

Active Directory integration is central to Idera SharePoint backup's non-proprietary approach to security. When the product is installed, it is secure by default. Enforcement of standard SharePoint policies and permissions prevents clever users from abusing the product to bypass access control checks and gain access to sensitive SharePoint data and content they should not be able to see.

Backup automation

Idera SharePoint backup contains a powerful and flexible scheduling engine that takes care of protecting your SharePoint environment when you aren't around. Backups can be scheduled to run hourly, daily, weekly, and with whatever frequency and recurrence your situation requires. In addition, load balancing and fault tolerance features ensure that your backups run predictably and efficiently each and every time.

Efficiently uses and manages backup storage

Back up your farms and their content based on how often critical information changes, and leverage storage locations throughout your enterprise. Idera’s SQL safe™ compression and IntelliCompress™ data compression engines aggressively reduce the size of backup files to keep backup sets small, and support for grooming ensures that storage consumption is carefully watched and controlled to keep storage costs down.

Only back up content that has changed

Running full backups of entire SharePoint farms and their content requires large amounts of disk space, lengthy backup operations, and unnecessary backups of unchanged, duplicated data. This is both time consuming and costly. With Idera SharePoint backup, users can easily execute manual or scheduled differential backups of just those farm components and granular content that has changed since the last full backup, saving administrators time and valuable storage space.

Product help information that is actually helpful

Idera SharePoint backup's web help system ensures that you always get up-to-date guidance, product information, and how-to assistance when you need it. As the product and its documentation evolve, you gain access to the new information quickly and easily without expending any effort. In the event that you can't use a web-based help system, you can rest easy knowing that you still have access to the straightforward, easy-to-read packaged help files.

Managed code and supported access patterns

SharePoint sits on the .NET Framework, so products that use it should as well. Idera SharePoint backup is a 100% managed C# implementation that executes all of its operations through exposed and approved SharePoint application programming interfaces (APIs).

What People Are Saying About 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.”
