What is cloud backup?

Cyber threats, technical failures, and human error all have the potential to bring your critical activities to a standstill. You can’t make these risks disappear, but you can take steps to minimize disruption and stay up and running. The right backup and recovery tools are essential for true business resiliency. Cloud backup, also known as online backup or remote backup copies, compresses, and encrypts files from your systems and devices and then stores these files on remote servers. If your live data becomes unavailable, you can access and restore recent versions, helping get you back to business as quickly as possible.

Restore remotely

With TeamViewer Backup, your data is always available, regardless of your location. You can restore backups remotely using the central TeamViewer Backup dashboard, with the choice of restoring an entire backup or just specific files. The dashboard also allows you to browse backups and run a recovery at file level.

Easy deployment for dispersed employees and large infrastructures

Like any new technology deployment, rolling out a backup solution can be a complex task. It often requires the IT team to run from desk to desk, and sometimes even travel to multiple sites. With TeamViewer Backup it’s different. Our backup solution works seamlessly with your existing TeamViewer infrastructure, and can be installed, configured, and deployed across all endpoints remotely. The result? You have a comprehensive backup solution up and running across the entire organization — all completed from the comfort of your desk.

Ensure high security

TeamViewer Backup builds upon Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world’s most secure, extensive, and reliable cloud platform. You can rest easy in the knowledge that your data is secure, and that backup and restore capabilities are always at your fingertips — whenever and wherever you need them.

Avoid duplication

TeamViewer users benefit from automatic deduplication at file level. The solution automatically recognizes which files have been altered since the last backup cycle and will only transfer the altered data. The end result is a fast and efficient backup process, with minimal impact on system performance.

Streamline operations

With TeamViewer, you can see and control everything through a single interface. View and manage all your devices centrally from the TeamViewer Backup dashboard in the TeamViewer management console. Access your browser-based dashboard from anywhere to check on the status of backups, set and adjust policies, initiate new backups, restore old ones, and much more — all from a single point.

Get instant system notifications

Occasionally, the backup process can be interrupted; for instance, by an internet outage, a frozen endpoint, or a user accidentally powering down their computer. In the event of an interruption, TeamViewer will send a failed backup email alert to you or a nominated administrator. Log in to your TeamViewer management console to check the problem and address it instantly.

What do you need to back up?

An effective backup strategy involves assessing all categories of data within your business and deciding how often different categories should be updated. Some data may need to be backed up on an ongoing basis. Other categories can be backed up periodically.

Categories of data that require special attention (and frequent backup) may include the following:

Customer transaction records
Updated customer information files
Accounts (e.g. invoicing, billing, receivables, and payables)
Corporate communications
Live project files
HR/payroll information

The beauty of TeamViewer Backup is its flexibility. You can create a backup policy that reflects your company’s preferred way of working, specific operating environment, regulatory obligations, and vulnerabilities. Through the TeamViewer management console, you can then roll out this policy across the entire IT estate, specify the timing of backups and the categories of files to include and exclude. You can also monitor adherence, and intervene remotely if needed.

What is a cloud-based solution?

A ‘cloud-based solution’ refers to software products, storage solutions, computer networks, or other computing resources that you access and use over the internet. Instead of being installed on your local machines, the solution is hosted and managed on the solution provider’s cloud computing framework, and it is usually accessed via a web browser.

What sets apart TeamViewer’s solution for cloud backup?

In particular, all communication between client and backup servers takes place via secured and encrypted channels.

TeamViewer Backup allows you to deliver on your Service Level Agreements (SLAs), giving you the option to configure backups to run automatically in cycles while offering a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of as low as 30 minutes. Schedule your backup to run on specific days and times to minimize disruption.

Prioritization and considered selection of files help you balance the need for effective protection with the demand for unimpeded system performance. TeamViewer Backup gives you the option to specify the level of backup and the categories of files you want to include or exclude in any procedure, reducing the time needed for backup completion.

No problem. With TeamViewer, you can limit the throughput of traffic sent to the backup servers by selecting the maximum bandwidth and the timeframe during which the throttling applies. This means the cloud backup process will be complete without affecting user performance.

What are the benefits of cloud computing?

Ease of access

The beauty of cloud computing is that when you need to get a job done, you’re no longer tied to the computers or servers where your software is installed. Cloud applications (including TeamViewer) are accessible from any device with an internet connection, enabling you to work from anywhere.

Maintenance and management

With cloud-based solutions, it’s usually the solution providers who are responsible for maintaining, updating, and patching the product. This means you’ll always have access to the latest features and security enhancements and there’s much less of a maintenance burden on your internal IT teams.

Rapid deployment

As long as you have an internet connection, you can use cloud-based solutions right away. Cloud software can be deployed quickly by employees and customers alike, without having to worry about complicated installation processes.

Cost

Almost all cloud-based solutions operate on a subscription-based model. The major benefit of this is predictability: you know exactly how much your solution costs are going to be each month — and you won’t be hit with unexpected expenses linked to updates or maintenance.

Scalability

Are you opening a new branch or sales channel? Do you intend to expand your existing initiatives to a large group of users? No problem! The best cloud-based solutions (TeamViewer included) are both flexible and scalable, allowing you to adjust your usage and subscription plans when your requirements change.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

The most effective, convenient, and secure way to back up a computer is to use a dedicated solution like TeamViewer Backup. Key features include support for automated backups without the need for manual intervention, incremental backup to reduce the time and resources required for each backup exercise, and robust data encryption to ensure your data is secure during the backup process.

Cloud sync services ensure that whenever any cloud-based file, folder or directory is modified by a user, those local changes are saved in real time and fed through to all devices and users. Cloud sync ensures you can access data in the cloud from any location and with any device, without the risk of versioning errors.

In contrast, cloud backup serves a different purpose: it sends a copy of your data to a cloud-based server to safeguard it against loss.

Cloud backup is important to protect your files and data against unforeseen events, such as cyberattacks, device malfunction, or user error.

With TeamViewer, a phone backup can be configured, scheduled, and executed in just a few clicks. Go to ‘Backup’ in your user menu. Here you can specify which files to include or exclude in your backup. Next, select your backup cycle and schedule either a one-off backup or a backup that reoccurs automatically at specific times.
