Corporate IT backup strategies need to focus on the protection of critical data generated on desktops and laptops. Relying on staff to save data to networked file servers is risky � in most cases they neglect to do it. IT staff are then left to manage a variety of manual and ad hoc procedures that not only burden the IT department but seldom work effectively. Additionally, the explosion of the mobile workforce has led to a massive increase in the number of laptops being used. Most employees, at some stage, transport some of the most critical, timely and proprietary information known to your business. The prevalence of laptop theft also adds to the urgent requirement that organisations face: to ensure that intellectual capital, produced on desktops and laptops, is backed up frequently without burdening the user with a cumbersome technical task.

• Efficient data transfer technology: binary-level incremental backup technology minimises data transfer by identifying, and backing up, only changed bytes in modified files. All data is compressed in transit and storage, thus minimising transfer times and network loads.
• Flexible scheduling: backups can be initiated on demand, via a pre-defined schedule or when a connection is available (useful for remote users).

• Minimise your business risk: the solution minimises the business risks associated with loss of desktop and laptop data due to hardware failure, theft, viruses or worms and human error.
• Scalable, automated and secure backup solution: Attix5 Backup � Desktops and Laptops automatically gathers critical data from fixed and remote devices throughout the organisation and backs that data up securely using the most bandwidth-efficient methods available.
• Easy data restoration: the user or the administrator can rapidly restore the user�s data and settings quickly to the existing device or a new one with minimal disruption to the business process. Any previously backed up state can be recovered.
• Simple deployment within a large organisation: prior to deployment, an administrator can define a backup policy and configure the settings that control its schedule. These settings are configured into the client application, which is deployed by e-mail.
• Centralised administration: the system allows a single resource to configure and monitor a large and geographically-dispersed organisation. The administrator can even upgrade client software and adjust account parameters remotely.
