Genie Backup Manager Pro 8.0 is equipped with Windows Vista’s compatible disaster recovery (DR) features, guaranteeing small business continuity or continuance (BC) by enabling the option of backing up the entire system (operating system applications, mission-critical data, e-mails, operating system and application settings, files/folders, etc) yet offering fast and easy recovery via an intuitive wizard-based interface. There is no need for Microsoft’s Windows Setup installation media.

Never again should data loss due to computer viruses, Trojan horses or malware infections, system and/or equipment failure, power outrage, robbery, fire, natural disaster, security breaches, terrorist attack, human error, organized or deliberate disruptions, and illegal programs, be an issue.

After thorough testing I can only say your product far exceeds my expectations. It is without doubt, the most versatile, easiest to configure, and fastest backup product I've tried. The ability to restore a file using off-the-shelf zip products is also a great plus. It certainly makes searching old archives for information much easier. We especially like the ability to backup to most any medium and across networks. We were performing backups of our primary server within ten minutes of installation. Thank you for a great product.

Genie Backup Manager Pro 8.0 offers various backup types, e.g., full, differential and incremental, all of which can be achieved using the easy-to-use smart backup scheduler. Different backup jobs can be performed at different times and intervals, snooze or even pause scheduled backup(s), and prompt Genie Backup Manager Pro 8.0 to postpone backups if the system is running on batteries (Laptop Power Optimization Support).

Finally, Genie Backup Manager Pro 8.0 provides built-in open/in use and locked file backups via Windows XP and Windows Vista Volume Shadow Copy service (VSS); uses U.S. government-certified Advanced Encryption Standard (AES: 128-, 192, 256-bit) security locally, or remotely using an encryption strength of 128-bit over a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for data transmissions that is certified by the leading provider of SSL certificates, Thawte; preserving data integrity and forbidding eavesdroppers from intercepting data.


	Genie Backup Manager Pro Features: The majority of features and benefits of Genie Backup Manager Professional 8.0 apply to Genie Backup Manager Home 8.0 also.

		Disaster Recovery
		Regain access to your data, hardware and software and resume personal and critical business operations once a data loss scenario occurs. Never again should data loss due to computer viruses, Trojan horses or malware infections, system and/or equipment failure, power outrage, robbery, fire, natural disaster, security breaches, terrorist attack, human error, organized or deliberate disruptions, and illegal programs, be an issue. With Genie Backup Manager’s enhanced PE technology, which also supports Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista, you can perform your DR backup plan. It is also possible to perform your DR backup plan online.

		Online Backup
		Keep your data out of danger by remotely using Genie Online Backup to backup to, and restore from, using an encryption strength of 128-bit over a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for data transmissions. Enhanced features allow you to easily view, manage, and delete your online backup storage. Added bandwidth throttling controls how much internet bandwidth GBM uses during uploads etc. Improved connectivity enables auto resumes when a connection is lost but then returns.

		Backup Media
		Backup to virtually any removable media device such as USB, REV disks, floppy diskette, all types of optical media, tape drive media. Also back up to remote locations using FTP and Genie Online Backup storage servers using Ajax-based backup technology. Genie Backup Manager Pro offers better data management and greater data availability, LANs and for use in DAS, and NASbackups, and resource sharing scenarios.

		Secure
		U.S. government-certified Advanced Encryption Standard (AES: 128-, 192-, 256-bit) encryption security is available, as well a Zip archive password protection.

		Backup locked & open files
		End users, network and system administrators are becoming acutely aware that their current backup software solutions are failing at the very thing they were purchased to do: backing up the most critical data in their organization and desktops. The reason for this backup failure is that the most important files created, files changing regularly and in use by business-critical applications performing important functions on this data cannot be interrupted. To a lesser degree this can be the case for personal users as well. To overcome this shortcoming GBM Home, Pro and Server editions provides built-in open/in use and locked file backups via Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista Volume Shadow Copy service (VSS) technology. No additional applications or plug-ins are necessary. However, Genie-soft’s powerful add-on supersedes many of the limitations still present using Windows VSS technology. So if you need the extra functionality, try Open File Backup (OFB), especially if you intend to backup open files across different types of network infrastructures. This aids in business continuity or continuance (BC).
