CloudBerry S3 Backup is a powerful Windows backup and restore that automate backup and restore processes to Amazon S3 cloud storage.

An ability to back up network locations is a feature that has been coming up during conversation with our customers over and over. The most common use case is a need to backup Network Attached Storage (NAS) or an external hard drive. With the release 1.6 we are introducing this option to CloudBerry Backup.

Awhile back we introduced an option to delete files automatically from the backup storage when they are deleted locally. However, this option is dangerous in that you can still delete a file accidentally on the local computer you won’t be able to recover from it as the file is deleted automatically from the backup storage too.

In the release 1.6 we are introducing a Smart Delete option that will keep files deleted locally on backup storage for 30 days by default and only after that will it delete the files on backup storage.

And finally with the release 1.6 we are introducing CloudBerry Backup Server Edition. This new version of CloudBerry Backup ($59.99) is designed to run on the server version of Windows operating system such as Windows 2003 and Windows 2008. All existing Cloud Berry Backup customers running the product on servers are eligible for free upgrade.

CloudBerry Backup 1.6 is currently in beta and we don't recommend upgrading and / or running it in a production environment yet.

We are going to blog about each of the new feature is greater details. Stay tuned.

As always we would be happy to hear your feedback and you are welcome to post a comment.
