Products
CloudBerry Lab develops software for automated backups, file management and synchronization that is used by individuals, and small to medium-sized enterprises. The company's main products include CloudBerry Backup, CloudBerry Explorer and CloudBerry Drive.
CloudBerry Backup
CloudBerry Backup is a standalone program that allows backup automation and recovery of files, folders and system images. The product is designed for cloud backup but can also work for local backups to external hard drives. The latest product version can back up data to a variety of cloud service providers and support so-called "cold" storages such as Azure Cool Blob Storage and Google Cloud Storage Nearline.
To access and backup files users should log in with a public storage account. However, CloudBerry Lab doesn't have access to the customer data. After connecting to one of the supported accounts users can create a backup plan to launch full backup or backup new or changed portions of files after the initial backup has been made. The backup can be implemented manually or scheduled to start automatically. The software has both a graphical user interface and a wizard for setting up a backup plan. The data can also be backed up on a block-level, be optionally compressed or encrypted with a 256-bit AES Encryption.
CloudBerry Backup comes with different editions. Windows Desktop, Mac and Linux editions are aimed for personal files backup, whereas Windows Server, MS Exchange, MS SQL Server, Oracle and Ultimate editions are designed to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. A command-line interface is supported for all editions and operating systems (Windows, Mac and Linux).
