Ultrabac Product Overview

UltraBac Software has designed its backup and disaster recovery software to take full advantage of being a native Windows application. This translates to being highly compact due to very efficient code that eliminates the bloat found in most other products. A full download is around 12MB as opposed to more than 600MB for our primary competitors.

The thing that really sets UltraBac Software apart from the bigger brands is our dedication to backup and disaster recovery. It is our only business. We understand the importance of your data, and know that unnecessary downtime not only costs money, but in the worst-case scenario can drive a company out of business.

File-By-File Backup

UltraBac represents the knowledge and experience of having been in the backup and disaster recovery software business for over 15 years. File-by-file backup is the basic standard for data protection, but there is nothing basic about UltraBac. The backup wizard in UltraBac provides a step-by-step process that makes it easy for the user to create backup sets from start to finish. An installer function enables an administrator to automate the installation of 10 machines in approximately three minutes from a remote console (does not require licensing).

System administrators are provided a rich feature set with all the tools necessary to successfully manage UltraBac; everything from active cluster server backup, email alerts, hardware fail-over functionality, to built-in encryption. UltraBac has many additional options and agents like SQL, Exchange, Oracle, Autoloader and Locked File Backup so that users can customize their solution to their exact requirements.

Disaster Recovery

UBDR Pro is the latest advance in Windows disaster recovery. Many disaster recovery products use image or snapshot technology, but can they perform a bare metal restore in the event of an unrecoverable machine? UBDR Pro can, in as little as 15 minutes.

To recover a dead server, a user need only insert the universal UBDR Pro CD, boot the machine and start the wizard to initiate a restore of a snapshot (image backup) with just a few clicks of the mouse. No advance setup is required. After restoring a snapshot, a machine is recovered 100 percent to its last backup state after a quick reboot. UBDR Pro also offers built-in encryption so users can fully comply with security requirements for backup media stored either on or off-site. More...

UBDR Gold provides customers the same great features as UBDR Pro, along with the ability to cold boot a machine and either perform image or file based backups to literally every type of storage device: SAN, NAS, UNC path, local disk, TSM, FTP, local/remote tape devices, and autoloaders. UBDR Gold differs significantly from Pro by not only providing optional agents for TSM, FTP, and autoloaders, but by giving users the ability to perform either image or file based backup and restore operations while booted from the UBDR Gold CD. This means an administrator can boot a failed machine and safely back up specific files or entire data partitions to any available disk, tape, or network location. More...

UBDR Pro and Gold use UltraBac's ability to perform image backups, along with a Windows based universal boot CD environment, to restore one or more disk partitions even when no operating system is available. These disaster recovery products can be licensed for independent, stand-alone use, or it can be fully integrated with UltraBac's regular file-by-file backup and restore software.
