Why server backup matters
Downtime and data loss are expensive. Whether caused by ransomware, accidental deletion, hardware failure, or natural disaster, losing access to business-critical data can disrupt operations, damage reputation, and lead to costly compliance violations.
Small and midsize businesses often face resource constraints that make complex backup systems hard to manage. Yet the threats don’t discriminate by company size. You need a straightforward way to ensure your data is backed up, secure, and ready for recovery at a moment’s notice.

How it works
After the initial full backup, OpenText Server Backup captures only incremental changes, reducing backup time and storage usage. Backup data is automatically replicated to the cloud and stored in immutable formats to ensure integrity. In the event of failure, recover an entire server using bare-metal restore, spin up a virtual machine within minutes, or restore individual files and folders. Cloud failover allows mission-critical systems to keep running even if the local environment goes down, with seamless failback when systems are restored. Built-in ransomware monitoring alerts you to threats and enables quick recovery from uncompromised backup “safe sets.”
Cyber resilience built for MSPs
Empower clients with security and backup solutions in a single console.
Our Server Backup – Public Cloud solution strengthens cyber resilience by integrating with the OpenText™ Secure Cloud. It unifies server backup, security, and management tools into a single multi-tenant platform that simplifies support and reduces administrative overhead for Managed Service Providers (MSPs).
With fast, flexible recovery that restores everything from individual files to full servers, MSPs can keep clients running through outages to minimize costly downtime and customer churn. Backing up to MSP-owned AWS public cloud environments helps providers scale their business and control costs.
At the same time, forever-incremental backups further reduce storage costs and bandwidth use. All while regional residency options help maintain compliance, no matter where customers reside.
What our customers say
