Agentless Architecture
The backup technology used does not require software to be installed on the systems being backed up. A backup software installation per site is sufficient to back up all systems within the site. This considerably reduces the cost and effort of implementation and operation, as no individual backup agents or plug-ins have to be installed on each system, nor do these have to be maintained.

Continuous Data Protection
Critical file and email server data can be backed up continuously through Continuous Data Protection. This means that several data recovery points are possible per day. The risk of losing data due to changes between the regular backup windows is therefore minimised.
Backup Lifecycle Management
Depending on need, several generations of backups can be stored online (locally and in data centres). Also, based on defined criteria, backups can be stored for longer periods of time on cost-efficient long-term storage in the data centres.
Local Backup to Disks
Backups are stored on local disks and are replicated into data centres. Local availability of the backups ensures short restore times and allows data retrieval even in the event of a connectivity outage.
Disaster recovery copies stored in highly secure data centres
Copies of all backed up data are stored redundantly in two highly secure data centres in Zurich and Geneva.
Highly scalable
The Arcplace Online Backup Service enables servers, desktops and laptops to be backed up. A wide range of operating systems and databases are supported. The solution is suitable for data volumes of 10GB to 100TB. Thanks to the online availability and parallel processing of several tasks, data can be backed up and restored rapidly.
Hot backups of databases
To meet the requirements of 24x7 operations, databases can be backed up on the fly. This prevents interruptions arising as a result of the backup process.
Hot backups of email systems
Along with the hot backup functionality for email systems like Exchange, Groupwise and Lotus Notes, the Arcplace Online Backup Service also supports the backup and recovery of individual emails, calendar entries or contacts.
Bare Metal Restore
The Bare Metal Restore functionality enables the recovery of complete systems to various, manufacturer-independent hardware. This reduces the recovery time to a minimum in the event of complete hardware failure.
Cost-efficient thanks to unlimited seat license
Regardless of the number of systems to be protected and backup software installations, you only pay for the volume of data backed up. This enables transparent and simple budgeting and spares the need for investments in software.
Remote Site Backup
The combination of functions like agentless technology, data de-duplication, compression, central administration and online storage enables systems in remote locations to be backed up in a simple and controlled manner. The Arcplace Online Backup Service enables the integration of all systems into a central backup strategy.
Storage-efficient thanks to data de-duplication
Thanks to data de-duplication, only changes are backed up after the initial full backup. The combination of data de-duplication and efficient compression algorithms drastically reduces the volumes of data to be backed up and transmitted on a daily basis.
Strong encryption
Advanced security and authentication technology ensure that your data is always encrypted (during transport and at rest). You are the only one with access to the encryption key of your data, which means that the backed up data (locally and in datacentres) cannot be read by anybody else than yourself.
Virtual Server Backup
Various methods are supported for backing up virtual server environments. The Online Backup Service can back up at the ESX Level without installing software agents. The Service can also backup block level changes of the VMDK files rather than the entire VM.
Central administration
The customer can centrally manage and monitor all backup and restore tasks using an intuitive and powerful user interface.
