The New Genie Online Backup Genie Backup Manager Embedded feature:
With Genie Backup Manager Home you do not have to purchase a separate product to use our new online backup service. Genie Backup Manager Home includes this feature making it more flexible and versatile then ever before. Genie Online Backup enables its users to backup their personal documents and folders anytime and anywhere using the 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to ensure sensitive data is transmitted securely. In addition to providing its subscribed clients an online backup service, it also provides online storage via "My Vault". This unique service allows its clients to upload unlimited file sizes of any file type.
Scripting:
Genie Backup Manager Home offers a powerful scripting environment that can help users take control of what and how they backup
Genie-Script:
GenieScript is an easy to learn XML-based scripting language provided with Genie Backup Manager Home to enable users to automate backup of programs and program settings. This is brought about by creating scripts (also known as plug-ins) that can backup registry keys, files and folders, and .ini file entries and combine them as one item that the user can at any time select from the My Programs tab in the Genie Backup Manager backup wizard.
Security Options:
Zip password protection
AES Encryption (128-bit): Security is a major concern when storing data. When using Genie Backup Manager Home your data is secure as it uses AES encryption to protect backed up data from prying eyes. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known as Rijndael, is the extensively-studied and widely-used block-cipher. AES has been adopted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as US FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) PUB 197. AES is being deployed on a large scale across governmental departments and other organisations worldwide to protect sensitive information.
Managing open files:
End users, network and system administrators are becoming acutely aware that their current backup software solutions are failing at the very thing they were purchased to do; backing up the most critical data in their organisation. Few companies have the luxury of closing their mission-critical software to create a "backup window" long enough to accomplish a reliably and successful backup. The reason for this backup failure is that the most important files created, files changing regularly and in use by business-critical applications performing important functions on this data cannot be interrupted, as operational requirements now often call for 24/7 uptime, making point in time backups difficult or unfeasible using traditional approaches. Most standard backup solutions are not equipped to handle files that are being used by applications under such conditions, resulting in open files being skipped altogether. To overcome the open file, in use file, conundrum, Genie Backup Manager Home in conjunction with File Access Manager (FAM), an optional add-on, will ensure that all data is backed up.
Cataloging:
The catalog is a library containing a history of backup jobs and the files contained in each backup run. With this feature users can keep track of file versions and runs, and view and extract files directly from the backup set without going through the restore wizard.
Self executable backup sets:
Genie Backup Manager Home offers users a feature called SwiftRestore that enables them to restore their backed up data to any machine regardless of whether Genie Backup Manager Home is installed on it.
Scheduling unattended backup tasks:
Backing up data can take a lot of time depending on the size of the data intended for backup, during which time a large part of the machine's resources are consumed. To avoid interrupting work or slowing down the machine while it is being actively used, users can schedule unattended backup tasks to run at times that guarantee no interruptions to their work. Scheduling also serves as a way to ensure that the data is being backed up on a regular basis without user interaction.
Backup with or without compression:
Genie Backup Manager Home allows users to choose between having backed up data uncompressed, and space consuming, or choosing from any one of 9-levels of compression. With compression a user can save space on a storage quota, thanks to our enhanced 64-bit archiving zip engine. This also enables backup files as large as 8 Terra Bytes (8TB).
Backup Summary:
The backup summary is a new feature in Genie Backup Manager of all editions; showing the status of your last backup run, prompting you to run it again if you wish or simply viewing its logs. This makes it easier for you to track down and analyse backup runs.
Genie Backup Manager Agent:
Genie Backup Manager Home helps to make your backup jobs run as easily as possible. Backup runs are easy using the new Genie Backup Manager Agent. Now you will be able to view the backup status of your jobs, create a new job, edit an old one, run a quick backup, and check for updates without the need to open Genie Backup Manager Home. All you have to do is right-click on Genie Backup Manager Agent in the system (notification) tray.
File filtering:
Users can filter selected files in My Folders using filename masks, i.e., users can choose to backup only .doc files in a certain folder or exclude all .exe files from another.
Auto-exclude:
Some system files and folders are not permitted to be moved or copied, and are accessed only by Windows. Attempting to backup these files will cause an error in Genie Backup Manager Home; to avoid running into backup problems, Genie Backup Manager Home by default skips these files and folders in all backup jobs created. This is called Auto Exclude
Email Notification of Performed Backups:
E-mail notification is a nifty feature that enables Genie Backup Manager Home to send to the user information about the status of the performed backup upon its completion.
If you are someone who is always on the move, and if you have scheduled backup jobs to run while you are away, Genie Backup Manager Home's email notification feature will notify you of any backup job problems.
Data integrity testing:
Genie Backup Manager Home can test the integrity of backed up data to ensure it can be reliably restored. The integrity test involves reading every byte in the backup set in a way that simulates restore.
Purging old backup jobs:
Genie Backup Manager Home gives you the ability to delete old backup jobs depending on the number of runs or the time period specified.
Wizard-Based Interface:
The step-by-step wizard enables users to easily perform backups and restores.
Supports Visual Accessibility Options:
Microsoft Windows offers "Accessibility Options" making Genie Backup Manager Home more accessible for people with visual disabilities. These accessibility options allow you to modify Genie Backup Manager Home's appearance to make it easier to work with.
My Media:
Backing up your playlists and favorite music files effortlessly with Genie Backup Manager Home is so easy. With Genie Backup Manager Home's scan feature you can automatically locate your media files, ready for backing up.
