Selecting backup software is an important decision. You need to compare your data protection needs against the features provided, and make a careful evaluation of what backup solution provides the best value.
In this post we explore some of the key requirements, and how both Acronis and BackupAssist support them.
Which backup software is best for your business? It’s a question that leads to many more.
What can the software back up? What restore options does it have? Can it perform a system recovery? What is the support like? How much does it cost?
In this post I look at the features required for a comprehensive backup solution, and compare Symantec Backup Exec and BackupAssist’s support for those features.
Are you an IT support company? Currently managing more than two BackupAssist customer installations?

Morning folks, just a quick one to let you know Alt-N Technologies have just released an update for MDaemon Messaging Server and it includes some highly recommended security updates among other things.
Those other things...
In 14.0.2 you'll find a raft of tweaks and improvements along with a couple of minor branding changes. The more observant of you may notice that WebAdmin is now referred to as "MDaemon Remote Administration" and ComAgent is now the "WorldClient Instant Messenger". You'll also find some usability tweaks in Worldclient such as the ability to nickname favourite folders. 
Cloud, private-cloud, multi-tennant, hosted, SaaS, service provider, xSP - the myriad of terminology used to describe products such as MailStore Service Provider Edition are practically endless it seems.
This probably explains why lots of our partner program members, all typically IT support companies servicing SMB's, have been asking for further clarification around exactly what this new version of MailStore actually is and how it works before they've been able to decide whether it's right for them.
For this reason we're now running a small number of free 30 minute(ish) webinar sessions which will answer the questions - "What is it?" and "Is it for me?". Essentially it is a high level overview and then time for a group Q & A.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) are the the organisation responsible for regulation and protection of all aspects of the financial services industry in the UK. If you're a company operating in this sector, their somewhat 'comprehensive' guidelines aren't ones you can afford to ignore.
The FCA Handbook covers a wide range of provisions, however in this post I'm going to focus on those that apply to email storage and archiving only - hopefully saving you a little legwork when it comes to checking whether you currently comply.
This is a follow-up to the more general post we published last year addressing the legislation and compliance requirements that apply to UK businesses in relation to email storage.
There's a new minor BackupAssist release today and if you run system protection jobs on Hyper-V host machines, it's one you'll want to make sure you download.

I'm pleased to report that as always, BackupAssist have been quick to respond and within a couple of days we now have this fix.
