BackupAssist 10, Featuring CryptoSafeGuard, Named Finalist in Data Backup and Recovery Software Category

MELBOURNE, Australia and BOSTON, Jan. 31, 2018 — /BackupReview.info/ — BackupAssist®, a leading provider of automated Windows server backup and recovery software for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), today announced it has been selected as a finalist in the 16th annual Storage magazine and SearchStorage 2017 Products of the Year awards. BackupAssist 10, featuring CryptoSafeGuard, was selected as a finalist in the Data Backup and Recovery Software category. Finalists were judged and chosen based on innovation, performance, ease of integration, ease of use and manageability, functionality and value.

In the article entitled, “Data backup and recovery software: 2017 Products of the Year finalists” Paul Crocetti, Senior Site Editor, TechTarget, SearchDisasterRecovery, wrote, “As it has the last few years, the cloud played a big role in the top backup and recovery software products. But customers are looking for data protection across multiple platforms, so physical and virtual backup and recovery were important as well. Some of the finalist products scored the triple play of physical, virtual and cloud support.”

Crocetti continued, “Object storage is another trend reflected among the finalists, as several products featured object storage support. Surprisingly, only one finalist made ransomware protection a top priority. That capability should become more common in the years ahead.”

Later in the article, about BackupAssist, Crocetti wrote, “BackupAssist’s automated server backup and recovery software protects data across physical, virtual and cloud environments. Version 10 includes CryptoSafeGuard, a ransomware-specific feature that stops infected files from being backed up and prevents backups from being encrypted. Customers can take advantage of deduplication and compression efficiency because they select the final backup location.”

“We feel BackupAssist 10, featuring CryptoSafeGuard, caught the judges’ attention in this product category because with the launch of version 10, BackupAssist customers were the first to be provided with the freedom to choose which public cloud they wished to utilize for their backup data. BackupAssist customers are now uniquely able to cost-effectively leverage existing cloud accounts and infrastructure with their choice of redundancy level and backup vault locations to meet cost, compliance, and performance requirements,” said Linus Chang, CEO, BackupAssist. “And, with the addition of CryptoSafeGuard, BackupAssist customers are now also empowered to protect their backups from ransomware by stopping infected files from being backed up, while also preventing backups from being encrypted.”
