Scripting: |
|
We offers two powerful scripting environments that can help users take control of what and how they backup |
|
|
|
|
Thru an easy to learn XML based scripting language provided with GBM Server to enable users to automate backup of programs and program settings. This is done by creating scripts that can backup registry keys, files and folders, and ini file entries and combine them as one item that the user can at any time select from the My Programs tab in the backup wizard. |
|
|
backup jobs can be created and configured using XML based scripting to create scripts that can be shared and customized. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
Security Options: |
|
|
|
|
Zip password protection |
|
|
AES Encryption: GBM Server uses AES encryption to protect backed up data privacy. AES is the Advanced Encryption Standard (also known as Rijndael). This encryption method, has been adopted by NIST as an FIPS-approved (Federal Information Processing Standard) symmetric encryption algorithm that may be used by U.S. Government organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information |

Managing open files: |
|
These days few companies can afford to close their running software to create a "backup window" for backup software to be able to archive data reliably and successfully, and most standard backup solutions are not equipped to handle files that are being used by other applications, resulting in the failure of these solutions in performing the very task they were bought to perform . We have FAM acces software that can deal with open file without having to stop your backup. |
|
|
|
|
|
Cataloging: |
|
The catalog is a library containing a history of backup jobs and the files contained in each backup run. With this feature users can keep track of file versions and run, view and extract files directly from the backup set without going through the restore wizard |
|
|
|
|
|
Self restorable backup sets (Swift restore): |
|
users have access to a feature that enables them to restore their backed up data to any machine regardless of whether they were the original computer that had backed up the data |
|
|
|
|
|
Preserving Alternative Data Streams: |
|
NTFS alternate data streams (ADSs) are provided for compatibility with the Macintosh Hierarchical File System (HFS), which uses resource forks to maintain information associated with a file, such as icons, etc...
Manually copying files containing ADS from an NTFS formatted drive to a FAT drive would cause the loss of the ADS information, unlike other backup software GBM Server can preserve ADS contained in backed up files regardless of the file system of the destination backup media |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scheduling unattended backup tasks: |
|
Backing up data can take a lot of time depending on the size of the data intended for backup, during which a big part of the machine's resources are consumed. To avoid interrupting work or slowing down the machine while it is being actively used, users can schedule unattended backup tasks to run at times that guarantee no interruptions to their work. Scheduling also serves as a way to insure that the data is being backed up on a regular basis without user interaction |
|
|
|
|
|
Backup with and without compression: |
|
Users who deem disk space important and scarce can compress the backed up data to save precious storage space. GBM Server uses non-propriety zip format compression, which makes it easy to retrieve data manually form the backup set for instance if GBM Server was not installed.
GBM Server can also backup without compression, in which file/folder structuring is preserved, and the user can access any file directly in the backup set
Standard Zip format compression : uses non-propriety Zip format compression for backing up data. Data can be manually accessed using any zip compatible compression utility |
|
|
|
|
|
Value added tools: |
|
two stand alone utilities that when used combined provide high level data privacy protection |
|
|
|
|
Genie-Wipe: A value added utility that permanently deletes files by repeatedly writing over the data contained in the file using special algorithms until the file is virtually irretrievable |
|
|
Genie Eyes-Only: Genie Eyes Only is GBM Pro's stand alone encryption utility; it supports AES encryption in 3 different strengths: 128-bit AES, 192-bit AES and 256-bit AES. |
|

|
|
|
Normal, Increment, Differential and Mirror backups: |
|
Backup all selected files or changed and new files: enables users to backup all the selected files each time the backup job is run or backup just files that have been added or changed since the last backup run |
|
|
|
|
|
File filtering: |
|
Users can filter selected files in My Folders using filename masks, for instance users can choose to backup only .doc files in a certain folder or exclude all .exe files from another. |
|
|
|
|
Auto-exclude: Some system files and folders on the computer are not made to be moved or copied, and are accessed only by the Windows system, trying to backup these files will cause an error, so, to avoid running into backup problems, The Server by default skips these files and folders in all the backup jobs created by the user, this is called Auto Exclude |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Email Notification: |
|
E-mail notification is a nifty feature that enables the backup Server to send to the user information about the status of the performed backup upon its completion via email.
If you are a network administrator who is always on the move, and you've scheduled backup jobs to run while you're away but still need to make sure everything goes smoothly then email notification is the feature you need. |
|
|
|
|
|
Data integrity testing: |
|
Backup Server can test the integrity of backed up data to ensure it can be reliably restored. The integrity test involves reading every byte in the backup set in a way that simulates restore. |
|
|
|
|
|
Closing and reopening Outlook and Outlook Express: |
|
If Outlook or Outlook Express were open during backup, Backup Server might not be able to backup their data correctly, as some files might be locked, denying GBM Server access to them
Users can work around this issue by instructing GBM Server to close either email client during backup and then reopen it when backup is complete. This option is most practical when backups are scheduled to run unattended and the user is not using Outlook or Outlook Express |
|
|
|
|
|
Task relay: |
|
If one instance of Backup Server is running, and another was started, the later will stay on stand by until the first one is closed. When two or more scheduled backup tasks overlap, this will produce a relay race effect, in which the backup tasks run one after the other, back-to-back. |

Supports Visual Accessibility Options: |
|
Microsoft Windows offers "Accessibility Options" that make it more accessible for people with visual disabilities. They allow you to modify the display to make it easier to work with the computer.
