Asigra Televaulting uses an agentless solution as a backup/restore software delivery platform. It enables an Enterprise/Service Provider to deliver secondary storage (that is, backup, but not mirroring or replication) services to a customer. The value propositions to the customer include:

• Freeing up IT staff to allow work on other projects
• Saving costs, compared to the cost of tape-based backup and restore methods
• Increasing confidence that data is properly protected off-site.

Asigra Televaulting Uses Incremental Forever Backups

Typical backup software performs full and incremental backups. Full backups backup all the necessary data (both initially and at intervals, such as weekly). Incremental backups send only changes since the last full backup. In general, restore processes use a combination of the incremental backups and the initial backup. Also, there is no easy way to delete outdated versions of full or incremental backups. Asigra Televaulting features incremental forever backups: once a file is sent to DSSystem, it is never sent again. Data to be backed up is handled through block-level processing.
