Centralized Backup

Centralized Backup is a professional disaster recovery tool specially developed for business users. By using Centralized Backup, company IT managers can use TNAS as the central backup server, without having to configure each host separately, and use TNAS as the initiator to centrally back up the storage space of internal employee computers, workstations, servers, virtual machines, or even is the system partition.

Centralized Backup

Post by JayBlingham »

This looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for, but I have a few comments:

1. Some of the dialog buttons (YES/NO) are not in English.
2. Backup (at least on my Win 10 device) seems to be limited to full drive (C, D, E etc) backup. While this could be useful, it would be better if I could select specific folders for backup.
3. When I tested a backup of Drive C, it created an image file that was the same size as my disk (512GB approx.). I would expect instead that it should only be the size of the used space on my drive.

So far, everything else worked perfectly. The agent connected to the TNAS without issue, and I was able to select a backup location where it created a "Centralized Backup" folder to back up into. This is the great beginnings of a very useful backup suite. I'm looking forward to trying it again if we can customize the backup task to back up certain folders.

Thanks!
Jay

Thank you! At the very least it would be good to be able to set up backup exclusions. A lot of different software require you to exclude specific paths from being backed up as it can cause their software to crash or malfunction if backed up while the software is active. That would essentially serve the same purpose. An example of software that has to have exclusions implemented is Microsoft Exchange (most Microsoft products actually). If you google Backup Exclusions List you'll see that there are many lists for many pieces of software.

Thanks!
