Powerful Tape Archiving Software for macOS, Windows and Linux
Whether you’re running a small business or are an M&E pro, whether you want to back up a single desktop machine to a single drive external storage solution or have a massive tape library with multiple tape drives, ArGest Backup has you covered.
A drag and drop interface delivers unmatched ease of use while true cross-platform restorability in all archive formats keeps data protected and future accessible.
With unmatched speeds, proper and real verification, system and hardware error detection and recovery, and true cross platform restore, there is simply no other backup solution that can protect your assets as completely and as reliably as ArGest Backup.
ArGest Backup provides accountability of every bit of data to be backed-up to assure your future access. 32-bit checksum technology is applied to both the metadata and file data coming off the filesystem and the checksum is placed into the header of each 2K of data processed. This critical dual function process enables the verification operation to validate the ultra-reliable accuracy of your backup.
ArGest is the fastest software available. Streaming SAS LTO-7 and LTO-8 at 322MB/sec (see more details about achieving this LTO-7/LTO-8 speed) and LTO-6 at over 160MB/sec with ArGest Backup software. Even better performance and lower latency is seen with ArGest and Fibre Channel LTO-7 and LTO-8 tape.
ArGest supports almost all tape devices, VTL, cloud, and and disk storage out of the box. Full support for SAN configurations and live database backup on Linux, macOS, Unix, and Windows with the Windows Open File Manager. ArGest also provides multiple workflow options for backup/archiving/restore of the same or different data simultaneously.
All ArGest archives are verifiable and restorable on any OS ArGest Backup supports (there are currently 24 of those), and with any version of ArGest Backup regardless of the OS they were created on. ArGest is fully backwards compatible, and ArGest will never leave you with archives tied to a data set, specific OS, version, or type of hardware.
ArGest Backup archives are properly and fully verifiable on any OS ArGest supports at any time, and is the only backup tool that can recover from errors. If a bad bit is detected on your media, ArGest advances in device block increments until it can read and restore the data once again without aborting your restore. And if your archive spans multiple tapes, and you lose a tape to damage or theft, ArGest will restore all the rest of the data from all the tapes you have, something no other product will do.
With ArGest Backup, you have a source for help and a company that has been committed to data backup and restore since 1985. All ArGest products are fully compliant with best business security practices including those mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley
All special characters, ACLs, special attributes, permissions, and foreign language characters (including left to right languages) are correctly handled by ArGest. Integration with major DAM/MAM solutions for our Media and Entertainment Customers.
The lifeblood of your organization is its data. To protect it, you need to back it up reliably to provide future access if the computing system fails. Sounds simple enough, but all backup software is not created equal. Choosing the wrong utility can have serious ramifications:
If your backup doesn’t complete successfully or is inaccurate, you’ll only find out at the very worst time…when attempting a restore. ArGest Backup’s archival format employs advanced data verification “proofing” technologies so you’ll always know the exact accuracy state of your backups. If there are any errors in your data, their specific locations are reported so there are no surprises.
