Key features

If you're working with Mac systems, our Mac backup tool can help minimize threats and lost data, allowing your enterprise to continue working with reliable disaster recovery. With its robust features and versatile cloud backup compatibility, you can take data protection to a new level.

Manage sparse backups

Optimize backup runs by through sparse files. Sparse files contain empty bytes that can be stored in the metadata, helping to reduce backup sizes and save disk space on your storage.

Preserve timestamps

During a recovery process, file timestamps are preserved, helping audit logs to remain consistent when you restore data from previous or older backups.

Simplified storage formats

Unlike proprietary formats used by Time Machine backup, we follow best backup software practices by using industry-standard data formats such as tar for Mac OS X to ensure disaster recovery is simplified. This makes it easy to recover data without proprietary formats.

Supports hardlinked files

Configure individual hard link files to be backed up. Hard links ensure that if the original file is moved/restored, all active links to that file still work.

No proprietary device drivers

If the operating system supports it, the device will work well with Zmanda. Upgrading hardware will not break support for a device you depend on.

How we benefit you?

Encryption

With Zmanda Mac backup software, you can be sure that your data won’t be accessed by someone who shouldn’t have access to it.

Compression

Backup size matters. We thus use industry-standard compression algorithms to save disk space, also preventing vendor lock-ins. This helps manage large files efficiently and optimizes storage when backing up only new or changed files.

Cross-platform restore

You can restore data from a backup to a host with a different operating system. That simplifies the disaster recovery process and allows you to easily recover your data.

Hybrid cloud architecture

Balancing workloads across multiple cloud providers shouldn't be complex. Our Mac backup tool ensures all configurations are seamlessly managed from a single console.

Wide platform support

We offer extensive and up-to-date support across a wide range of servers and client Operating Systems, including Mac OS X, making it easy to backup multiple computers or multiple Macs.

Simple, flexible backups

Supports full and multi-level incremental backups using industry-standard data formats such as GNU-tar and star, allowing you to schedule incremental backups that automatically protect your data.

FAQs

Zmanda uses Server-Client architecture enabling easy scaling. A central backup server is provisioned on a self-hosted system running Amanda Enterprise (Zmanda product).

The server is tasked with managing Mac backups that run across all clients linked to that specific server. Mac backup runs and restorations are also managed through Amanda Enterprise Server. Client binaries are then installed on systems that need to be backed up, allowing easy addition of new client systems into the backup set.

If you are using Amanda Enterprise, recovering after a disaster is easy. The admin has to login to the Amanda Enterprise Server and locate the backup set, which contains the machine ID to be restored. Once the Backup group and Machine ID are found, the admin can either restore data to the same machine or restore it to another system, with options to recover specific files or entire directories. This is followed by simple on-screen instructions to complete the restoration.

We currently support Mac OS X Server, Mac OS X 10.10, 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 10.15. For more detailed list of the supported OS - please refer our Compatibility Matrix.

You can use Mac Time Machine back up, an inbuilt feature in your Mac, to automatically backup Mac computer. However, if you want an enterprise-level backup for all your Mac systems, Zmanda offers you the perfect Mac backup solution along with a strong disaster recovery plan.

To enable IT to test Zmanda on demo environments - we offer a completely free, fully licensed version of Zmanda for 14 days.
