Computer Backup of
Employees

The data stored on employees' personal computers, including work results, design plans, and other information, are not only key intellectual properties and compliance elements of an enterprise but also crucial for operational development. For R&D-based enterprises, the R&D materials and innovative ideas within this data are essential for maintaining technological innovation and competitiveness. Thus, ensuring the integrity and security of this data is vital for enterprises.

Challenges in Backing Up Employee Computers

Backing up data from employee computers in enterprises presents several challenges, including the tedium of manual backups, complexity in data management, human error, cost concerns, and the need for robust security and privacy protections. Additionally, network performance can impact backup processes. To address these challenges, enterprises should implement centralized backup solutions and establish comprehensive backup management systems and strategies.

Active Backup Solution
for Employee Computers

Centralized Backup (CB) is a backup tool developed by TerraMaster that offers a centralized, proactive backup solution tailored to the needs of business users. By deploying CB on an integrated backup server, IT administrators can centrally back up the storage space or even system partitions of employee computers within the enterprise. The backup server initiates the process, eliminating the need for individual configuration on each host.

Passive computer backup solution for employees

In addition to Centralized Backup for IT administrators, TerraMaster backup server offers TerraSync, a computer backup tool that employees can manage independently. TerraSync provides both data synchronization and backup functions, enabling employees to create their own synchronization or backup strategies based on the importance and frequency of data use. Employees can synchronize or back up data from their computers to TerraMaster backup servers. TerraSync also supports data synchronization across multiple devices and platforms, such as Windows computers, macOS computers, and iOS/Android mobile devices, enhancing mobile office convenience and improving employee work efficiency.

Server Backup Solution

The server is the central hub for enterprise digital information, running essential applications like OA, CRM, and ERP, and storing crucial business data. TerraMaster Centralized Backup (CB) provides a comprehensive solution by using the backup server to centrally back up storage spaces or system partitions of enterprise computing and file servers.

Virtual Machine Backup Solution

Virtual machine backup is crucial for maintaining the integrity and recoverability of critical business systems and data. In the face of risks such as hardware failure, software errors, human mistakes, or natural disasters, backups can swiftly restore the virtual machine to its most recent stable state, minimizing service interruption, ensuring business continuity, and preventing data loss and potential financial impact. Therefore, regular virtual machine backups are an essential component of any enterprise risk management strategy.

Disaster Recovery Solution

To safeguard against data threats from hardware failures, system malfunctions, theft, and natural disasters, TerraMaster's enterprise data backup solution includes a secondary layer of protection called Duplicate Backup (DB). DB is a robust disaster recovery tool with a user-friendly interface. It enables IT administrators to back up important folders, entire data volumes, or iSCSI LUNs from the backup server to remote locations such as another backup server, file server, or cloud storage. Supporting various backup strategies, including incremental and multi-version backups, DB ensures a straightforward and efficient backup and restoration process, facilitating rapid data recovery in the event of equipment failure.

To prevent data loss in the event of an accident, the 3-2-1 backup strategy is widely used. This approach involves maintaining at least 3 backups of the data, with 2 stored on different devices and at least 1 stored off-site. Duple Backup, a professional tool designed specifically for TerraMaster backup servers, is ideal for implementing the 3-2-1 backup strategy.

Cloud Data Backup

By using TerraMaster's CloudSync service with the integrated backup server, enterprises can fully protect their network disk and cloud SaaS data. As an advanced cloud disk synchronization application, CloudSync enables high-speed, real-time synchronization between local backup servers and cloud storage. It efficiently downloads cloud data for easy access, overcomes Internet bandwidth limitations, and significantly boosts work efficiency. This cost-effective solution offers reliable off-site disaster recovery strategies, ensuring data integrity and business continuity.

Advantages of the CloudSync
Cloud Disaster Recovery
Solution:

Supports synchronization with major cloud storage services, including Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3, Dropbox, and Baidu Cloud.

  • Offers bidirectional disaster recovery strategies, including cloud-to-local and local-to-cloud.
  • Monitors file changes in real-time and triggers immediate data synchronization.
  • Supports various synchronization strategies to accommodate flexible data utilization needs.
  • Provides data encryption during upload to prevent sensitive data leakage on cloud storage.
  • Offers flexible synchronization options and scheduled tasks to avoid network bandwidth congestion during peak business hours.

Avoid Ransomware Attacks

Ransomware poses a major threat to data security. A single compromised device can swiftly and discreetly infect your entire network, including network-connected backups, often without detection. Ransomware not only encrypts your data but can also delete, overwrite, or destroy it. Failing to pay the ransom risks permanent loss of critical business data.

 

In addition to backup and disaster recovery solutions, TerraMaster Backup Server offers a powerful tool against ransomware attacks: folder and file system snapshots.

Folder Snapshot

Leveraging the COW (Copy-on-Write) feature of the Btrfs file system, snapshots are highly efficient and storage space is optimized.
The scheduled task can take a snapshot of the folder or iSCSI LUN every hour.
Each folder can hold up to 1,024 snapshots.
Arranged chronologically, browsing and restoring snapshots are quick and easy.
Enhance snapshot security by supporting incremental snapshot replication.
When the server goes down, the business can swiftly switch to the backup server and resume operations.

File System Snapshot (TFSS)

TerraMaster's Unique Snapshot Protection Solution.
Minimize human error, create full system or volume snapshots, and enhance data security.
Adopt a read-only snapshot storage method to minimize the risk of ransomware affecting snapshots and enhance overall snapshot security.
Customizable snapshot scheduling tasks allow for flexible arrangement in alignment with the business operation cycle.
One-click activation and restoration simplify IT administrators' tasks.
