Key Features

Advanced backup source selection features: According to the vendor, the software allows users to back up files from multiple computers in their local network, including access rights, attributes, and timestamps. It also offers the capability to back up encrypted files' raw data without the need for an EFS certificate. Additionally, users can perform backups of entire volumes and physical drives, sector by sector, as well as backup volumes' shadow copies and BitLocker volumes' raw data.

Use a multitude of backup targets: The software provides a wide range of backup targets, including internal and external drives, network shares, FTP & SFTP servers, Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 buckets, and Microsoft Azure file shares and blob containers. Users can even send backups directly to an email address. According to the vendor, the software allows for simultaneous backups to multiple targets, optimizing efficiency by reading sources only once.

Advanced restore features: The software offers the ability to restore entire volumes or physical drives, sector by sector, ensuring comprehensive recovery. Users can selectively restore specific files if they were not backed up sector by sector. Additionally, users have the option to restore only selected information, such as file access rights or attributes. According to the vendor, users can also copy a volume or physical drive directly to another, sector by sector.

Encrypt backups using the AES family of algorithms: According to the vendor, the software enables users to encrypt their backups using the AES family of algorithms, ensuring the security of sensitive data during storage and transmission.

Compress backups in .zip archives: Users can optimize storage space by compressing backups into .zip archives. This feature helps reduce the size of backups while maintaining their integrity and accessibility, according to the vendor.

Add custom actions to execute before and after a backup task: The software allows users to customize their backup process by adding custom actions to be executed before and after each backup task. This feature enables users to automate additional tasks or integrate the backup process seamlessly with other workflows, as stated by the vendor.

Optionally encrypt temporary files with random & unrepeatable keys: According to the vendor, the software offers the option to encrypt temporary files with random and unrepeatable keys, enhancing data security. This ensures that even if these files are accessed, the data within them can never be recovered, providing an extra layer of protection.

Backup to external drives identified by name (label): DSE Backup Expert Pro allows users to back up to external drives identified by their name or label. According to the vendor, this ensures that backup tasks will function correctly even if Windows assigns them a different drive letter, providing flexibility and ease of use.

Wait & retry reading source files that cannot be accessed: The software intelligently waits and retries reading source files that are temporarily being used by other applications and cannot be accessed during backup. This feature ensures that no data is missed or lost due to temporary file access limitations, as stated by the vendor.
