Data backup saves snapshots of your personal digital items, which might include your documents, your photos, your music, your videos, and more.

Having a good data backup plan helps ensure your data is backed up in an automated manner, ensuring you'll always have your data safe in case of a disaster, loss, or mistake.

Rebit can help ensure you have a simple, complete plan for backing up your data. Rebit automatically takes snapshots, does a cloud data backup, and can backup your data locally.

There’re three different backup methods – full backup, differential backup and incremental backup.

• Full Backup: In a full backup, all the data is backed up to a target disk in each backup.
• Differentia Backup: In a differential backup, only the data changed since the last full backup is backed up.
• Incremental Backup: An incremental backup also backs up changed or new data, but these changes are based on the previous incremental backup as opposed to the last full backup.

Rebit performs incremental backups on a continuous basis, ensuring your data backup is as up-to-date and efficient as possible.

Rebit also performs concurrent direct, network, and cloud backups. Backup to hard drives connected directly (USB, eSATA, etc.), over your network (wireless backup or LAN connections to Network Attached Storage (NAS)), and in the Rebit Cloud.

The best way to backup data involves having two key strategies in place. Good backup software will manage these items automatically.

• First, backups should be performed automatically so that you always have the latest versions of your files available.
• Second, files should be backed up to more than one destination, including one onsite location (such as a secondary hard drive) and one offsite location (such as the cloud). This ensures that if a local disaster happens, you will still have a safe copy of your backed-up data.

Rebit provides for automatic, continuous backups and supports multiple simultaneous destinations, including local, network, and cloud.

This ensures the latest versions of your data is protected both offsite in the cloud and onsite in cost-effective local copies.

Rebit also gives you the ability to perform drive rotation, backing your data up to different drives so that you can archive them offsite.

The main advantage of backups is to prevent loss of data. All your software can be reinstalled, but sensitive data may be lost forever. Having a backup in place prevents this.

The main advantages of backups are having quick access to files, protection against failures, protection against virus threats, protection against loss, and disaster recovery.

Optimally, backups should be done continuously to minimize the amount of data loss in case of a failure. Good backup software will monitor your system for changes and back these changes up as they happen in an incremental manner. This is efficient while also ensuring your backup is up-to-date.

Rebit continuously monitors your files and backs them up within moments. File versions are maintained so you can go back in time to any previous version.

Most backup solutions require users to set up elaborate backup plans for their clients and servers. Rebit Pro uses CDP technology to automatically back up all changes that occur with the system every 30 seconds, waiting until the system is idle to avoid any performance impact. This eliminates the need for backup plans and schedules but ensures full system protection.

RebitPro’s Continuous Data Protection capability precludes the need for backup plans and schedules for all PCs and most servers. However, in the event setting up backup plans and schedules is desired, Rebit Pro provides an intuitive dashboard interface to provide this functionality.

Restoring from backup is the task of copying your backed-up files to the system you want to restore. Backup software will handle this task in an automated manner. You may also be able to restore past versions of backed up files, which is helpful in case a file was inadvertently changed. Once your restore is complete, your computer will be back to its original state.

Rebit allows you to easily recover the entire system hard drive from any catastrophic event – hard drive crash, virus or corrupted software installation.
