Backup 500GB in one night
Our seed load and in-file delta technologies enable backup of a large volume of data to be completed in a very short period of time. The seed load feature allows backup of the large volume of data to a local hard drive. With our proprietary in-file delta technology, the original file is required to be backed up once only, i.e. in the first backup job. Subsequently, only the changes within the file made since the previous backup are necessary to be backed up.
For example, for a file that is as large as 500GB, you can simply seed load the full backup to a removable local hard drive and then deliver the seed loaded data in the removable hard drive to the backup server. Since only the changes made within the 500GB file, normally less than 1%, i.e. 5GB, of the original file size, are required to be backed up again, this amount of data can be backed up easily to the server via the Internet or Intranet in one night. As a result, instead of having to back up 500GB everyday, you just need to back up 5GB everyday to keep the file up-to-date on the backup server.

File Retention Policy
The Retention Policy setting on SANBack Backup allows a user to define how long the locally deleted files are going to be retained on the backup server. Besides, it is also used for defining how many legacy versions of a file needs to be kept. When a backup job is performed, for data that are modified or deleted on the client computer, their existing version on the backup server (backed up previously) would be moved into the "retention area" on the Backup Server, while newly backed up file would be placed in the current data area. Retention Policy setting defines how long are these data kept within the retention area before they are deleted permanently from the backup server. For backed up data that has not been updated or deleted from the client computer, they are kept in the data area on the backup server and remain untouched.
Standard Retention Policy
A standard retention policy defines a basic policy where retained file in the retention area are removed automatically after the specified number of days or backup jobs.
Advanced Retention Policy
An advanced GFS retention policy defines a more advanced and flexible policy where retained file (in the retention area) are removed automatically after a combination of user defined policy, such as:
- a specific number of days
- a specific number of weeks, including the day of the week
- a specific number of months, including the day of the month
- a specific number of years, including the day of the year
