Summary:

Backup Smart is far and away the best solution in its class. Using the Adobe AIR platform provides a 21st century interface which is lacking in competitor’s offerings. The simplicity of setup, granularity of backup options and cross platform capability make Backup Smart a must have application.

We get customers asking us about their website backups all the time. Things like:

  • Do you backup my website for me?
  • What’s the best way to backup my website?
  • How can I automate this process?
Like many hosts, we maintain backups both on-site and off-site, but they aren’t easily restorable. The backups Ashworth Consulting maintains for its web hosting customers are server images that can be rolled back to a perfect, previous state. Unfortunately, this means that we are unable to easily cherry-pick specific files from backups upon request.

The response has often been to encourage web hosting customers to backup their cPanel accounts with an FTP program or use the built-in cPanel backup features in your control panel. What this meant for you was that you’d need to remember to login and backup each of your websites individually as often as you wanted them.

Not any more!

A talented developer has created an Adobe AIR application called “Backup Smart” to handle this for you. Backup Smart will let you configure as many cPanel web hosting accounts in the software as you like for backup. You can setup the frequency of your backups for each of the cPanel accounts, and everything happens for you automatically behind the scenes. It really couldn’t get any easier.

Multi-Platform

Did we mention it works on Windows, Mac & Linux? All you need to get started automatically backing up your cPanel accounts is Adobe AIR installed on your computer, and the rest is easy. The software takes minutes to setup and you’ll be done in practically no time.

We’ve gotten great feedback from clients about Backup Smart and encourage you to give it a free, 7-day trial. There’s no commitment to try it out and if it saves you even 30 minutes of time backing up your cPanel accounts each month, then you’ve made your money back on the investment for this wonderful piece of software.

Go ahead & give it a go, and let us know what you think!
