• Advanced encryption algorithms - ensure that only you can read you backup data
• Advanced compression - reduces average text based documents to less than half their original size
  
• FastBIT technology - allows only data that has been changed to be incrementally backed up (rather than having to backup the whole document).  Ensures maximum performance and minimum bandwidth

• On-line event management - the Event Manager is provided to alert users of any missed or failed backups. If a scheduled backup is missed, then there is are comprehensive options to report and take action from.
• Automatic email alerts - the DataWorks Online Backup software can be configured to email the backup log any user(s) upon any successful backup or a backup with errors or warnings.
• Automatic online upgrades - all software upgrades are automatically managed and happen seamlessly without any user intervention required.
• Comprehensive log files - all backup and restore transactions are thoroughly logged on the client and the server applications. This provides a comprehensive audit log for each user to help track usage and aid in technical support.

• Secure Data Centres - all your data is stored on servers in secured data centres here in New Zealand.  All centres have authorised/restricted access only, fire prevention equipment and redundant power/data circuits. Data servers are mirrored onto a second backup site 
• RAID Technology - each server utilises RAID 5 (Random Array of Independent Disks) technology to ensure that your data is stored on 4 separate disks to ensure a comprehensive belt and braces backup solution
• Advanced Encryption - all data is stored in an encrypted format and all communications between the client and server are encrypted. Users can choose between DES, Triple-DES and Blowfish encryption algorithms
• Tamper Proof Blocking - DataWorks is able "lock down" certain functions on each DataWorks client. At any time, we can view or change the settings that control the level of usage each installation is offered. This could be used to prevent other users in your organisation from changing backup schedules or changing file selections

Automated schedule combinations to suit your backup needs (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, ad-hoc)

• Silent mode runs backups invisibly in the background
• Notifies you by email if incomplete or errors occur

No more tape management - you do not have to remember to start backups, change tapes, rotate tapes, worry about forgetting to take them off-site.

• No regular checks to ensure tapes can be restored or when they need to be replaced
• Reduce the about of IT resources required to support and configure tape administration
• If a tape is corrupt then the backup is lost - each DataWorks online backup you make is stored on multiple disks on multiple sites so that these issues can be avoided.

Uses familiar Windows Explorer-like interface

• Backup wizard takes your through all the steps
• Flexible enough to cater for almost all backup scenarios so you can backup what you want when you want
