How Linux Backup Works
The process begins with a comprehensive full backup, capturing all data, and then employs incremental backups with Changed Block Tracking (CBT). CBT efficiently tracks and captures only the changes made since the last backup, resulting in minimized backup time and reduced storage requirements.
BDRSuite ensures data security during transfer through robust end-to-end encryption protocols. In the event of interruptions, BDRSuite intelligently resumes backups, optimizing backup time and minimizing data uploads.
With BDRSuite, you can easily restore files or folders from backups, with the option to choose between the original or an alternate location while retaining the original permissions.
