Can your backup provider do this?

At Backup Systems we understand that there are many options for you to choose from when it comes to picking a third-party backup provider. But how many of those will allow you to search for a specific file or extension from your backups?

Say you have Fred from accounts get in touch with you one day, and he’s after a specific spreadsheet that he deleted sometime ago. Fred only knows a few of the characters the file starts with, he has no recollection of the location of the file, or if it was on SharePoint, OneDrive or on a file server.

That’s where Backup Systems comes to save the day with our file search feature!

Enter a couple of letters of the filename and the system will quickly and easily give you a list of all files across your entire IT estate, with any matching files and all the different versions of those files. No more do you have to panic at the thought of having to spend hours trying to find one file with a measly bit of information to go off, the stress has vanished thanks to Backup Systems.

Now doesn’t that sound like a relief, let’s dive deeper into how it works.

When you have a backup with us our software will automatically log files that have been backed up into a secure database, this then allows our users the ability to search through these backups and locate a file they are looking to restore. Do you want to look for a specific file name or just files based on their extension? All of this is possible with our user portal. Not only does this search feature allow you to conduct a restore quickly, but it also provides information on the files’ location and which point-in-time backup the file exists in.

Our file search utility allows you to select a snapshot from the results and automatically fill in the restore parameters to place the file back to where it came from, or elsewhere. No more will you be left waiting to get a hold of someone to ask if they have a specific file, you can search for it yourself in no time.

With all these features just being one part of our extensive user portal, you’d be a fool not to trust us with your systems. We are a UK-based business, so not only are you buying British by choosing us, but you’re also welcome to our reliable customer support, in a time zone that doesn’t leave you waiting hours for a reply.

We highly advise you head on over to our website and take a look at our managed services section which can be found here – https://www.backup-systems.co.uk/managed-data-backup/. We have a wide variety of options for you to choose from, all of which we offer a free demonstration of, so you can try before you buy. Sound interesting?
