🛡️ Backup Master Pro

Overview

R1Soft Server Backup Manager is a powerful continuous data protection (CDP) solution designed specifically for bare-metal server backup and disaster recovery. Widely adopted by hosting providers, data centers, and enterprises, R1Soft provides block-level incremental backups with minimal performance impact. The solution enables rapid recovery of entire servers, individual files, or databases with near-zero data loss through its innovative continuous protection technology.

Product Description

R1Soft revolutionized server backup with its patented Continuous Data Protection technology that monitors and captures changes at the block level in real-time. Unlike traditional snapshot-based backups, R1Soft can restore data to any point in time with granularity down to specific blocks, providing unprecedented recovery flexibility. The platform's kernel-level agents intercept disk writes, creating a continuous stream of changes that can be rolled back to any moment.

The solution excels in high-transaction environments where traditional backups struggle, including busy database servers, e-commerce platforms, and multi-tenant hosting infrastructure. R1Soft's efficient deduplication and compression reduce storage requirements by up to 95%, while its bandwidth-friendly replication makes off-site backups practical even over limited connections.

Why Choose R1Soft?

R1Soft's continuous data protection technology provides recovery capabilities that traditional backup solutions cannot match. The ability to restore to any point in time with second-level granularity offers protection against data corruption, user errors, and ransomware attacks. This fine-grained recovery eliminates the data loss gap that exists with scheduled snapshot-based backups.

The platform's efficiency makes it ideal for high-density hosting environments where traditional backups would consume excessive resources. Block-level incrementals combined with aggressive deduplication minimize storage costs and backup windows, while hot backup capabilities ensure databases remain online during backup operations.

R1Soft's bare-metal recovery capabilities provide true disaster recovery insurance, enabling complete server rebuilds in hours rather than days. The solution's proven track record in hosting environments protecting millions of servers demonstrates its scalability and reliability under demanding conditions.

Now part of the ConnectWise portfolio, R1Soft benefits from enterprise-grade support infrastructure and integration with broader MSP and hosting management tools, making it an excellent choice for service providers and enterprises requiring dependable, efficient server backup.
