We have released a latest update of the Vembu Home Agent to our online backup service customers. This update carries some of the most requested features from our users since the initial release. As an added incentive we are upgrading the free users for a storage quota of 2.

Here are the highlights of the new features which are available with the latest update.

Protect Your Data with BDRSuite

Cost-Effective Backup Solution for VMs, Servers, Endpoints, Cloud VMs & SaaS applications. Supports On-Premise, Remote, Hybrid and Cloud Backup, including Disaster Recovery, Ransomware Defense & more!

I. Network Mapped Drives support:

One of the most requested features since our initial release was the support for mapped drives. With this feature, the users will be able to:

  1. Backup from a network mapped drive to the Local HDDs or the Cloud Server.
  2. Store local backups to a network mapped drive.

This feature is ideally used by users who have multiple computers/devices with critical data to backup but which have an operating system not yet supported by Vembu Home. Using a simple network mapping to the share or drive of the other systems, users will be able to backup those computers. The users can also backup to and from your Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices.

II. Global Configuration of backup encryption password & CPU Usage:

In our initial release, users had to configure encryption password and CPU usage for each backup set. We have now moved the password and CPU usage configurations under the options tab along with Backup Window configuration. Users will now be able to store a common global encryption password for all their backups. The users can also change the CPU usage dynamically for all the backups at one place.

III. ‘Do not Backup’ Window Settings configured by default:

Now, ‘Do not backup’ window settings are configured by default between 8 AM to 6 PM. Users don’t have to now worry about backups hogging the system resources during those hours. Backups will automatically stop during the ‘Do not backup’ window hours, and will resume after the window. This default configuration has been done only on fresh Vembu Home installations. For the existing installations, you can go to the Options Tab and manually configure them.

IV. Test Connectivity with the Amazon Cloud Server:

With this feature you can check the connectivity with the Amazon Cloud Server.

V. Advanced Graphical Backup Report added:

We have added a more intuitive backup report for:

  1. Files configured for backup, protected files & skipped files
  2. Storage quota in Amazon Cloud, storage used by backup & storage used by the client.

VI. One-Click Configuration of Pre-Configured Backups:

A more intuitive representation for the pre-configured backups available with Vembu Home Console is now provided. This provides one-click configuration of your favorite backups such as My Documents, Outlook, Registry & System State, Browser Settings etc.

VII. Support for Automatic Software Updates:

Now, any future software updates will be automatically downloaded and installed without any manual efforts from the user.

One of the major under-the-hood features included in this update is the addition of an embedded local web service to the Vembu Home Agent instead of the more bulky Apache-PHP Web Service, making the client much more light weight.

The update also includes several other under-the-hood enhancements which improve the overall performance of the Vembu Home Agent.
