Reliable, cost-effective backup and recovery protection for your Linux, Solaris, Windows, and Mac OS X environments
All Zmanda platform clients interface seamlessly with the Zmanda Management Console to provide one intuitive, point-and-click interface to backup multiple Linux, Solaris, Windows, and Mac OS X systems. Systems administrators benefit from fast installation and configuration, enterprise-class functions, central management, intelligent scheduling, standard open formats, and responsive technical support.
Zmanda clients only use industry standard data formats. Whereas, all other commercial backup products employ their own proprietary data formats that lock you in by requiring data to be restored with the same product used for backup.
