Technical Features Overview:
OPEN FILE BACKUP:
* Effortless backup of open files
* No plug-in required for backing up open files for Windows XP, Vista, Server 2003
Fort Knox Online Data Backup supports Volume Shadow Copy (VSS service)
Volume Shadow Copy Service is a Microsoft Windows service that coordinates various components to create consistent shadow copies of one or more volumes.
In Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista Operating Systems, Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) provides a mechanism for creating consistent point-in-time copies of data known as 'shadow copies'.
With VSS you can backup files even if they are in use at the time of backup. If VSS is enabled (from the advanced options menu while creating a new backup schedule), Fort Knox Online Data Backup will create a snapshot (read only copy) of the volume(s) corresponding to the configured folders/files and will thereafter backup the snapshot of the volume. The Volume Shadow copy helps Fort Knox Online Data Backup create consistent backups, ensuring that the contents do not change while the backup is underway. This helps avoid problems typically associated with file locking; since Fort Knox Online Data Backup uses a 'read-only' copy of the volume, it is able to access every file without conflicting with other programs writing to those same files!
This feature is especially useful in backing up exclusively locked files (of specific applications), such as the Outlook 'pst file' in case of Outlook backups. Please note that you do not need VSS functionality to backup databases (like SQL & Exchange) - Fort Knox Online Data Backup includes powerful support for SQL Backup & Exchange Backup!
Byte-level Incremental Backup
Conserve bandwidth with Intelli-Delta Technology for Incremental Backups
* Intelligently backups only the incremental changes
* Conserve bandwidth and reduce operational costs for your business
* Reduces storage required for your maintaining backups
IntelliDelta is a powerful and proven technology that performs backups for only the incremental changes in files. Instead of handling incremental changes in the block level (e.g. 4KB blocks), Fort Knox Online Data Backup 's Intelli-Delta technology goes one, actually, two steps further. Fort Knox Online Data Backup does not implement pre decided block sizes as this is often sub-optimal. For a small file, the block size may be too large and hence translate to a larger amount of data being sent than what's required. For very large files, a small block size translates to performance degradation. Fort Knox Online Data Backup decides on individually optimal block sizes for every single file after taking into account the original file size. This ensures that for each file, changes are examined at an 'optimized byte level'.
Additionally, Fort Knox Online Data Backup also leverages RSYNC's powerful ROLLING CHECKSUM feature - going one more step ahead of conventional approaches to incremental backups.
MS EXCHANGE BACKUP ( 2003 & 2007):
Fort Knox Online Data Backup's comprehensive approach to backup management now allows you to execute your Exchange Server backups right down to the 'Mailbox level'.
Most critical among all backups are the customer’s server backups – thanks to Fort Knox Online Data Backup ’s MS Exchange backup facility, you can handle that right down to the individual mailboxes level for all your customers’ MS Exchange servers.
Fort Knox Online Data Backup 's Exchange Server Backup plugin uses the ESE API to backup Storage Groups and Mail Stores.

Besides Fort Knox Online Data Backup 's refreshing user interface, a comprehensive approach also enables us to leverage powerful components of Fort Knox Online Data Backup 's core solution and apply them to Exchange Server backups. For example, data compression with the powerful ZLIB algorithm provides excellent compression ratios, military strength encryption (up to 448 bits) with the Blowfish algorithm ensures your data is always protected, and incremental backups capture byte level changes in your databases using our Intelli-Delta technology based on the proven and powerful RSYNC algorithm !

MS Sharepoint Server Plugin Backup and Restore
Collaboration tools like MS Sharepoint Portal Server are now commonplace in most companies. As a service provider, you can now offer enterprise-class backup and recovery solutions for MS Sharepoint using Fort Knox Online Data Backup 's Sharepoint Plugin. With the Fort Knox Online Data Backup Sharepoint plugin, you can backup and restore MS Sharepoint server data from the same intuitive console and the same backups servers and storage that are used for handling regular Fort Knox Online Data Backups. The salient features of Fort Knox Online Data Backup 's Sharepoint plugin are as follows:
1. Listing of sites, documents, lists, contacts, web pages, Sharepoint databases and other items for backup / restore.
2. Single web console for managing backups of MS Sharepoint servers along with other backup items like Active Directory, MS Exchange, MSSQL etc.
Fort Knox Online Data Backup supports a site-collection level backup of SharePoint versions Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft SharePoint 2010 [currently in beta when this article is written]
Fort Knox Online Data Backup uses internal SharePoint utility (STSADM.EXE, offering a full fidelity backup) to take a copy of the SharePoint site-collection(s) and then uploads the locally dumped file(s) to the backup server. During a full backup, the entire site-collection(s) is taken and then is transferred to the backup server. And during an incremental backup, only the modified content since the previous full backup is transferred to the backup server.
