The Simply Backup suite consists of 3 main modules, these are:

  • The client software - Simply Backup (Enterprise/Desktop)
  • The Server Software - Simply Backup Server
  • The Replication Server - Simply Backup Replication Server

Simply Backup Enterprise Edition

This is the main client side application with an easy to use graphical user interface. It allows end users to upload selected foles to the backup server and runs scheduled backup jobs. It also allows users to create different backup sets for different purposes. Besides file backups the enterprose edition can also backup MS Exchange, MS SQL, MySQL and much more.

Simply Backup Desktop Edition

The desktop edition is a light version of the client software that has all the essential backup functionality for mobile/home users. It allows users to upload selected files to the backup server and runs scheduled jobs.

Offsite backup server

This is a server side application that stores backup data from multipule backup accounts. It has a web management console for system administrators to manage the server, viewing reports and statistics. End users can also log on the the server to manage their own accounts or to restore their own backups. The backup server supports Windows, Linux and MAC OS platforms.

Replication server

This is another server side application which is located in a separate location. it provides close to real-time backup for multipule backup servers. So even if one of the backup servers were to fail, the replication server will still hold a copy of your data.
