Key Benefits of CRC DataProtection

• Agentless backup software means significant backup administration cost savings
• Automated, scheduled backups ensure protection around the clock
• Data restoration is streamlined, efficient and easy to manage
• Block-level processing, compression and de-duplication of backup data dramatically reduces the impact on network bandwidth and storage resources
• N+1 storage "grids" provide backup service redundancy and Enterprise-class fault tolerance
• Encryption of data using advanced methods ensures complete security
• Wide support of industry-leading operating systems, databases, mail systems and storage environment

The CRC DataProtection Software Components

CRC DataProtection DS-Client (Data Storage Client) provides data backup and restore services across diverse computer networks, and transfers encrypted data in an optimized fashion to a secured, redundant data storage center. DS-Client uses your local area network's existing security configuration to access data for backup under complete administrative control, and a single DS-Client system can be used to manage data backup and restore procedures for many machines on your network. You can install DS-Client on an existing machine or run it on a dedicated machine to manage data backup and restore services.

For Enterprise laptop users and home-office single desktop machine environments, the powerful functionality of DS-Client is unecessary. Instead, DS-Client Lite accommodates portable or single PC users with streamlined backup/restore protection for only the system on which the software is installed.
