Ferro Backup System
Bystra, Poland
What it is
Ferro Backup System is client-server software for backing up desktops, laptops, file servers, and virtual machines. A centralized web console lets administrators manage backups and recovery from one location. It supports full, incremental, differential, and file-fragment delta methods, including files locked by other processes and copies of working operating systems for later restoration. Backups can be sent to network locations, NAS or SAN, FTP, optical media, tape, and cloud storage. Virtual-machine backups cover Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware ESX(i) hosts. Workstations can encrypt archives with 256-bit AES (Rijndael), Serpent, or Twofish before transfer. The on-premises installation remains in the customer’s infrastructure. Standard, Professional, and Enterprise editions add different capabilities. Licenses are perpetual, with same-major-version updates free for valid holders. Pricing starts at €112, and a free trial is available.
