BBS (Business Backup Suite) is a comprehensive commercial backup solution developed by TerraMaster. Its core components include Duple Backup (DB), Centralized Backup (CB), TerraSync (TS), CloudSync, and Snapshot. Duple Backup is designed for off-site disaster recovery of data on TerraMaster backup servers. Centralized Backup handles the centralized backup of data from employee computers, file servers, virtual machines, and more to the local TerraMaster backup server. TerraSync enables data synchronization between multiple backup servers and between backup servers and PCs. CloudSync facilitates cloud-based disaster recovery solutions. The Snapshot feature provides snapshots and restoration of file systems and folders, offering protection against ransomware attacks.

BBS (Business Backup Suite) is specifically designed for business applications, offering complete functionality and meeting the high-performance requirements of enterprise environments. Users can flexibly combine TerraMaster's BBS backup components based on their specific needs to create diverse backup strategies, effectively addressing the majority of backup requirements for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Flexible Combination for Deployment In All Scenarios

Depending on application scenarios, enterprise size, or security level requirements, core applications can be flexibly combined to implement diverse backup strategies. For instance, enterprises with 50 or fewer employees can use a single-server deployment with off-site disaster recovery to save costs. In contrast, enterprises with 100 to 200 or more employees can opt for a dual-server deployment, integrating off-site disaster recovery with cloud disaster recovery solutions.

Simple and Efficient Deployment

BBS features a fully graphical user interface, simplifying configuration and eliminating the need for coding. This user friendly design reduces the learning curve, enhances deployment efficiency, and lower management and operating costs.

Powerful and Secure

BBS supports high storage efficiency, capable of handling file backup demands at a scale of tens of millions of files. It employs global LTS encryption technology and offers a variety of security strategies, combining active and passive protection to meet the data security needs of different organizations.

The data stored on employees' personal computers, including work results, design plans, and other information, are not only key intellectual properties and compliance elements of an enterprise but also crucial for operational development. For R&D-based enterprises, the R&D materials and innovative ideas within this data are essential for maintaining technological innovation and competitiveness. Thus, ensuring the integrity and security of this data is vital for enterprises.

Backing up data from employee computers in enterprises presents several challenges, including the tedium of manual backups, complexity in data management, human error, cost concerns, and the need for robust security and privacy protections. Additionally, network performance can impact backup processes. To address these challenges, enterprises should implement centralized backup solutions and establish comprehensive backup management systems and strategies.

Centralized Backup (CB) is a backup tool developed by TerraMaster that offers a centralized, proactive backup solution tailored to the needs of business users. By deploying CB on an integrated backup server, IT administrators can centrally back up the storage space or even system partitions of employee computers within the enterprise. The backup server initiates the process, eliminating the need for individual configuration on each host.

Using Centralized Backup (CB), employees don't need to be involved in the backup process. IT administrators can initiate backup requests from the server using the PC backup module of Centralized Backup to actively backup folders, disk partitions, or system partitions on hundreds of employees' computers. Centralized Backup effectively safeguards digital assets scattered across employees' computers and significantly reduces the workload for IT administrators.

CB offers multi-version management for backup targets. In the event of a disaster, IT administrators can roll back to a specific version in the version library and restore data to the designated host. Each CB backup task supports up to 9999 backup versions.

It offers protection for critical data and systems through Time Machine Backup. The backup server can serve as the destination for Time Machine, automatically backing up data from multiple Macs. Time Machine Backup also includes space quota settings to prevent Mac backup
