BackupSender is a storage system for backup databases like Firebird via Internet to a central server.
The idea of
this
service is the fact that last users who have no computer engineer
find it often difficult to perform correctly their backups. Either
they do not do any backup, or they do them on USB sticks or external
hard drives or any other media, but very often in case of an
incident it is difficult if not impossible to find a valid and
recent backup.
Most frequently the user uses only one medium and in case of data
file damage, the corrupted data are saved and it is impossible to
find any sound data. The service aims to provide a simple and
reliable storage of data bases for a lower cost.
This service includes a software installed on the client’s computer which sends data - manually (on request) or automatically (scheduled), to a centralized storage server.
This service also includes a central system that processes incoming
files. Once received the databases on the storage server, they are
systematically restored and tested. The user is notified by email
(each receiving backup or weekly) of the good reception of the
backups. Moreover, if the central system receives no backup after a
few days of a registered user, it also sends an email notification
for the client to take the necessary measures if the situation is
abnormal.
