“If you manage a number of servers that require a good
uptime, you should know how crucial it is to maintain
well-organised backups of your data. Not only to is it important to
organise your backups well so you know what to retrieve when
something goes wrong, but also have a system in place so that your
server can return to being productive as soon as possible after a
crash. This sometimes means being able to retrieve data to the same
server and sometimes moving to a whole new server. Kleo Bare Metal
Backups offers a free solution wherein you take a snapshot of your
complete system. If something fails, you just restore the whole
system from a backed-up image.“Kleo Bare Metal Backups is a freely distributed product from
Carroll-Net, Inc (http://carroll.net), a company that has been in
the business of protecting and retrieving data for over 15 years.
This experience shows in the design of the software. Its simple
design interface and ease of use make it a good option for not very
technical people. The software caters primarily to business users
that have several desktops and servers on their network. That said,
there is no reason why it cannot be just as effective for a home
user.“Rather than cramming in several options all at once, Kleo’s
well-thought-out interface is split into several screens.”
