Cloud Backups

Overview

BMCB - Bitstream Managed Cloud Backups

Bitstream Managed Cloud Backups continuously backup your most important files and folders to the cloud, protecting your business from multiple threats.

The Bitstream software agent runs on every computer we manage. One component of this software agent is our file and folder cloud backup module. This module is optional and can be activated on any managed computer at any time.

The cloud backup module monitors any combination of files and folders and uploads them to a secure storage repository on AWS S3 on a regular basis. We can adjust the backup schedule to accommodate your requirements.
