The Ferro Backup System is compatible with all of the most popular types of tape drive: DDS, DLT, LTO.

Ferro Backup System 2.4 - backup system for professionals
Bielsko-Biala, September 7, 2005 - The FERRO Software group informed about releasing a new version of data backup system - Ferro Backup System 2.5.
Ferro Backup System 2.4 includes two brand new features which are designed for more advanced users.
The first one allows the archivization of opened files, meaning these, which are blocked by other processes currently working in system. During tradicional (usual) archivization the blocked files are ignored. Thus the file backup copies may not contain important data. The most usual blocked files are database and system files. The newest Ferro Backup System offers data backup of each and every kind of file, including the blocked ones.
Another newest feature is the encryption of archived data. There are three currently considered as the best encryption algorithms available: Rijndael, Serpent, Twofish. Similar as during compression, the encryption is realised through computer side, on which the files resides. It means the backup copies are protected even during their transmission through network. It's important because wireless WLAN networks are used more and more often. It's well known that wireless networks are less secure than cable. The encryption method used in the newest app version makes reading the archive data impossible for hackers.
Ferro Backup System is available in three packages: including licences for 5 or 10 or 30 workstations.
An update for the application for registered users of ealier editions is free of costs.

Thanks to the new Connection-Cache function, which buffors the process of sending data to server and improvement of a search-file algorythm, achieved huge increase of backup speed in the same time with decreasing network overloading.
The new version serves bigger comfort in work by adding an option which allows setting maximum processor usage by an application. Archivization process is now entirely invisible for common user.
Increase of quality using the app can be felt also by administrator. It's because in the new version the refresh speed of remote PC's folders-tree was also increased. There's also a cute function allowing immediate cancellation of current archivization tasks.
Even though many new options were added, thanks to major code optimalization, the software size installed on workstations was able to become very small (115 KB). Thanks to this, the Ferro Backup System now can easily be used also to archivize data from older PCs working under, still very popular in polsh firms, Windows 95 system.
