We’ve all experienced that moment of panic when your hard drive decides to quit right before a crucial presentation, or when a sneaky virus attacks your PC, taking your precious data with it. If these scenarios give you cold sweats, it’s high time to talk about backups. And not just any backup: Kiwi Backup, a 100% French solution that will safeguard your files like a bodyguard protects their VIP.
In a world where cyber threats multiply faster than Gremlins in the rain, protecting your data is vital, and Kiwi Backup understands this well. They offer a cloud backup certified by HDS and ISO 27001. In short, your data is stored in France, safe from prying eyes and the U.S. Cloud Act. This way, there’s no risk of your data wandering to the other side of the world without your consent.
Whether you’re a Windows fanboy, a MacOS hipster, a Linux enthusiast, or even a pro with Synology and QNAP NAS, Kiwi Backup adapts to all systems! Even your precious Office 365 and Google Workspace accounts can be backed up.
However, this backup solution, designed for professionals, isn’t something you can find on the shelves of your local supermarket. It’s available through a well-established network of IT resellers. These professionals know their stuff since they’ve been trained to adapt Kiwi Backup to their clients, depending on the specific needs of each business. So, if you’re interested, you’ll need to go through one of these authorized resellers. They will guide you through the maze of options and smoothly integrate the system into your current setup. It’s not exactly plug-and-play, but it’s custom-made and well worth the effort. But if you’d like, you can test it (instructions below) and see for yourself.
And by the way, if you’re an IT technician and want to offer Kiwi Backup to your clients, everything is explained on the website.
The tool consists of a web interface, which is essentially the Kiwi console that allows you to monitor the backup status of all your machines, and a client tool that will send the files.
Its intuitive interface allows you to select the folders to back up, schedule automatic backups, and monitor the status of your files and backups. And if something goes wrong, email alerts are there to notify you of any danger.
With Kiwi Backup’s admin console, you’ll have a clear view of all ongoing backups. You’ll immediately know if everything’s running smoothly or if some intervention is needed.
Kiwi Backup boasts a 99% successful backup rate, which is more reassuring than a politician’s smile during election season. And in the event of a machine crash or major incident, the service is restored in less than 24 hours, thanks to a robust disaster recovery plan.
Also, no more nasty surprises on the bill with hidden costs. Kiwi Backup offers transparent pricing, based solely on the source volume to be backed up. There are no installation fees, no cost per workstation or user, and 90 days of history are included. This way, you can plan your budget without fearing a financial game over.
Behind Kiwi Backup is a passionate French team, based in Alsace, committed to providing a solution that suits everyone, with an adapted interface and a customer service team attentive to your specific needs.
