Flux2Fusion LANBak Client 2.0 

Introduction

LANBak Client is part of the LANBak Network Backup system from Flux2Fusion Software.  As it's title suggests, it is the LANBak component that is responsible for backing up files on an individual computer on the LAN.  LANBak Client also provides services allowing general users of a particular computer to preview and restore backed-up files on both local and shared network hard drives.

LANBak Client can be installed on both servers and workstations on the network.  The software does not differentiate between true 'server' or 'workstation' operating system flavours (such as Window 2000 Server and Windows 2000).  Any computer on the network running either Windows NT4 (SP6), 2000, XP, or 2003 Microsoft operating systems can be backed up using LANBak Client.

Features

  • Scheduled backup - configurable, daily backup of data on a machine's local hard drives.
  • Real-time change monitoring - Automatic, real-time monitoring and backup of files as and when they are modified.
  • Built-in backup file versioning - The backup system keeps multiple versions of backed-up files.  Never loose the contents of a file again by over-writing it etc.
  • Full permissions checking - Restoring files requires no Administrator intervention - Users can only preview and restore files within the backup system that they have permissions to access.  Original NT file permissions are checked each time a restore, preview or delete request is received.
  • Service-based backup agents - Backups are performed even if no user is logged on.
  • Full network drive support - Backup, restore and preview files on network drives (the remote computer must also be running LANBak Client for this functionality to work).
  • 'On-demand' folder and file backup - Use Windows File Explorer 'Send-to' function to send any file or folder on your computer to the backup system.
  • Self-configuring, peer-to-peer operation - No need to open file shares on the backup servers etc.  Just install and go.

LANBak Client must be installed on each computer requiring access to the backup services provided by the system.  The Client software must be installed on both remote and local machines in order for users to restore files within shared, remote folders.
