Some of United Data Services' many solutions include:
DISASTER RECOVERY READY
The virtue of backup is to make copies of critical data so that these additional copies can be used to restore the original following a data-loss disaster. With udsVault, data will be copied, compressed, 128-bit encrypted and uploaded to a remote server located offsite through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). This backed up data is 100% restorable to their original formats, when needed, by simply clicking a few buttons.
In addition, udsVault software provides another level of protection by allowing replication of the remote backup server(s) to another remote location. As a result, the security level is doubled. Simply put, udsVault is truly a great tool that offers your customers immensely valuable assistance in carrying out the important function of data backup.
BACKUP 500GB OF DATA IN ONE NIGHT
Our seed load and in-file delta technologies enable backup of a large volume of data to be completed in a very short period of time. The seed load feature allows backup of the large volume of data to a local hard drive. With our proprietary in-file delta technology, the original file is required to be backed up once only, i.e. in the first backup job. Subsequently, only the changes within the file made since the previous backup are necessary to be backed up.
For example, for a file that is as large as 500GB, you can simply seed load the full backup to a removable local hard drive and then deliver the seed loaded data in the removable hard drive to the backup server. Since only the changes made within the 500GB file, normally less than 1%, i.e. 5GB, of the original file size, are required to be backed up again, this amount of data can be backed up easily to the server via the Internet or Intranet in one night. As a result, instead of having to back up 500GB everyday, you just need to back up 5GB everyday to keep the file up-to-date on the backup server.
ALL PLATFORMS AND COMMON DATABASES SUPPORTED
United Data Services supports all leading operating systems which can run Java2 Runtime Environment 1.4.1 or above, which are essentially all operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac, NetWare, NAS devices, etc. Besides, the software comes with modules specially designed for backing up common database applications, including Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Lotus Notes/Domino, Oracle and MySQL. This allows you to back up all these databases professionally as recommended by their respective software vendor easily without requiring you to know how it works technically behind the scenes. If the databases or application you are using in-house are not listed here, don’t worry. Our extensible and easily configurable command line tools enable you to add custom backup logics to basic backup operation through simple scripting.
BACKUP INDIVIDUAL MAIL IN MICROSOFT EXCHANGE SERVER
Microsoft Exchange is one of the most popular email servers used by businesses of any size. Our built-in Microsoft Exchange Backup Module allows your customers to back up all critical data within Microsoft Exchange Server, including individual email, calendar, and contact list, etc. This capability makes udsVault an ideal backup tool for Microsoft Exchange Server.
BACKUP MICROSOFT OUTLOOK AND OUTLOOK EXPRESS
Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express are the two most popular email readers used by businesses and home users. Equipped with the capability for storing large amount of data efficiently, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express are now being used by many users to store large amount of important data in addition to being merely a communication tool. However, backing up data stored in these two email readers is a headache to most users, as few users know where to find the related files storing the personal information (e.g. “.pst”, “.dbx”) and address book (“.wab”) used by these email readers to back up. With udsVault, users can back up these data easily by simply checking a single checkbox.
Moreover, backup and restore operations for large amount of data in these two email readers wont be headache anymore because our aforementioned in-file delta technology has made backing up of data files (e.g. Microsoft Outlook's ".pst" files) with size up to 20GB an operation that can be completed within a few minutes even over slow Internet connection. Backing up of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express has never been this easy.
