Centralized Disk-to-Disk backups:

StoreGrid is a proven disk-to-disk (D2D) backup solution that can be deployed at a central on-campus location or at an optional off-campus disaster recovery site. Central management features like user management console and central license management make it an ideal choice for educational institutions. You can manage your installations flexibly and port licenses across user installations across the campus depending upon your needs from a single central server installation.

Intuitive Browser Based GUI:

StoreGrid installations (both client and server) have an intuitive browser based GUI that helps users to easily manage their backup and restore needs. Users can self service their backup needs and create or edit backup schedules.

Works across Operating Systems:

IT administrators can offer backups for workstations, servers and laptops running different operating systems. StoreGrid supports Windows, most flavors of Linux, Mac OS and FreeBSD.

Automated Full and Incremental backups:

Completely automated backup schedules can be set up from client machines to periodically take backups to the central backup server. StoreGrid supports incremental backups using our Intelli-Delta Technology that ensures optimum usage of your network infrastructure. Using this technology, after the first 'seed' backup, only changes in files & folders are backed up thereafter. This optimizes your bandwidth and storage utilization and improves backup performance while still giving you the ability to restore 'point in time' versions and deleted files and folders.

Backup using the Amazon Cloud:

StoreGrid supports backups to remote and off-campus locations too (e.g. your disaster recovery site). You can opt to directly base your backup server outside your campus or replicate your backup server to a replication server outside your campus for a second level of protection for your data. StoreGrid supports backups using the Amazon cloud. You can configure StoreGrid to backup directly to your institution's account with the Amazon cloud!
