About BaQapp Vaulting and Safety

The BaQapp endpoint App backs up files and disk images, over the LAN to its local Debian Linux BaQapp server.

BaQapp insulates and protects your data from ransomware through hardened vaulted storage and does NOT use mapped drives that easily permit malware infection.
This "hardened" OS environment plus BaQapp's' unique network protocol that backs up files using Debian Linux, provides a different OS environment making it extremely unlikely that ransomware's will be able to deliver their "payload" or attack your backups.
BaQapp keeps your data safely by limiting access much like having a room with no windows and only a secure locked door to which only you have the key.

BaQapp encrypts backup data so that your backup data can ONLY be accessed through your network using your password.

Data Storage

BaQapp backup data is protected from media bit rot loss having been saved with extra data for error correction, enabling automatic recovery of lost and damaged bits.

BaQapp offers de-duplication where identical files even from different endpoints are only copied once, saving storage space.

BaQapp reduces the amount of storage space required using block level deduplication, or Delta copying with only changes stored. If recovery is required the file system will combine the parts of the file to make a full restore.

BaQapp creates an image of each endpoints's hard drive, which is an exact copy of the drive that can be used to quickly and completely restore everything; settings, fonts, desktop, programs. BaQapp's default settings which are easily changed, makes an exact full image of each drive every 30 days, and then every 7 days stores only the changes, known as incremental image backups.

BaQapp stores the backups in a non-proprietary format, with the ability to restore the data using standard tools, as long as you have the encryption key.

Monitoring and Reports

Unless you have monitoring of your backups by an source independent of your backup program, how will you know that your backup system is working properly. The BaQapp monitoring service generates email reports from data generated and sent by the user's BaQapp software to BaQapp's Microsoft Azure server. If your BaQapp system stops operating, users will still receive reports, noting that no reports are being received, and thus indicating that backups are not being made.

Setting up BaQapp to send you email reports is easy. Just enter your email address when installing BaQapp

Default reporting includes weekly global email reports on all the endpoints that should be backed up, drawing attention to any endpoint backups that are more than 10 days overdue by email.

For real peace of mind, if your mobile phone number is entered when configuring BaQapp, you will receive a SMS reminder if backups are a few weeks behind.

BaQapp Pty Ltd has no access to your data. The monitoring system only receives an extract of the backup report text file, which contains only the endpoints last file and image backup dates.

Monitoring for the first 90 days is FREE, thereafter $90.00 per year per BaQapp server, or as a monthly charge $11.00 per month.

Pre-configured with easy changes to settings

BaQapp will backup multiple endpoints, unlike many other network backup systems that can charge $50.00 and more per seat or endpoint.

Users of BaQapp can make Global settings covering all the endpoints, or customise each endpoint, or give a user access privileges to configure their own settings.

BaQappBoxx-LC and BaQappBoxx-i3 are a ready to run, low cost network backup devices, while BaQapp-x64 and BaQapp-VM can downloaded to create your own x64 PC based or Virtual Machine backup appliance.
Full functioning BaQapp-x64 and BaQapp-VM software with its secure LINUX O/S to protect endpoints can be downloaded for a 30 day trial at no cost.
All BaQapp systems include 90 days FREE monitoring then offer the optional BaQapp monitoring service.
