March 22, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Backup and recovery process solution provider Sonasoft (sonasoft.com) announced on Tuesday the availability of its new version of SonaSafe for Windows File Systems.

Sonasoft says this release provides synthetic backup functionality that will enable application service providers and managed service providers to offer advanced backup and recovery capability for their customers.

Synthetic backup is a particular kind of volume backup where a full backup is only taken once and periodic incremental backups are applied on top of that full backup. This provides an efficient alternate approach for taking periodic full backups. ASPs and MSPs can significantly reduce backup time and bandwidth utilization by creating synthetic volume backups, says the company. This technique also benefits system administrators to save space by deleting their incremental and differential backups, thus keeping only a unified volume backup on the storage.

"Sonasoft with its ground breaking synthetic backup technology provides an exceptional solution for backing up remote offices to a centralized backup server thus eliminating the need for transporting tapes offsite and speeding recovery of crucial users data," says Bilal Ahmed, VP of engineering and CTO at Sonasoft.
