Data Reduction Technology


BackupAgent has applied data reduction technology to its backup software. This technology leverages the fact that most of the business data is relatively static: once created, the data undergoes only minor daily changes. Research has shown that on average less than 5% of the total data set changes on a daily basis.

Incremental backup by patching

We recognize this and therefore only send the minimal changes of the data set to the Backup Server. Our intelligent software detects the changes in the dataset, compares with the previous backup and only backs up the newly created or modified data, incrementally. This is also done within a file (on block-level), which is extremely convenient for large files (e.g. database files).

Compression

BackupAgent uses a strong compression technology, which reduces the backup data even more. The compression is, depending on the type of data, on average 50-60% of the original size. This reduces the required storage capacity and allows the data to be backed up over a relatively small internet connection (ADSL).
