SIEGFRIED BACKUP has several backup modes. Backups can be started at any given date, incl. automatic repetition. By using add-ons, SIEGFRIED BACKUP can include new storage devices. SIEGFRIED BACKUP is easy extendable with the aid of add-on technology. A software compression of the backup data can be activated to use backup medias as efficiently as possible. Add-ons are used for the different compression methods. To include a new compression method simply include a new add-on.
SIEGFRIED BACKUP supports splitting of backup data through multiple medias. The application knows automatically when a destination drive is removable (ZIP, MO, Streamer, ...). If SIEGFRIED BACKUP can't write all data to one media, a new media will be requested automatically.
SIEGFRIED BACKUP checks during the startup of a backup job if there is enough free space to save the complete backup data if the backup destatination not a removable drive. In the case of insufficient space SIEGFRIED BACKUP stops the backup job and reports an error message. The error message is written to the report section of the job.
