If you can’t trust the validity of your backup, it’s not worth much. That’s why BackBox ensures success by validating every single one of your backups with an intensive verification process – first when it’s created, and then again before restoring. Specifically, we check for the most common indications of a corrupted backup:

• File corruption
• Zero-byte backup
• File integrity
• File size deviation

A suite of other valuable protection benefits:

– RMAs –
By collecting license keys and other metadata, rapid restores can happen straight from BackBox to bare metal as long as the new device can be reached by an IP address.

– Dynamic Metadata Collection –
Without any extra overhead, our Dynamic Inventory feature actively empowers CMDBs and other inventory systems.

– Problem Solving –
Your devices’ backups histories can be used as a powerful tool for troubleshooting, allowing you to compare changes over time, or – better yet – to prevent configuration drift by notifying administrators of changes before they become a risk to the organization.

BackBox's robust Automation Library contains flexible upgrade automations, including multi-step upgrade automation flows.

Our award-winning, trusted backup automations will backup your devices before and after any changes, ensuring that your networks can be restored with just a single click.

Automations are also "high-availability aware" to ensure that upgrades are done with careful consideration to the operating theater.

–Save your organization–

Managing OS updates in large networks can be complex, grueling, full-time work. Automating OS updates can save your organization hundreds - if not thousands - of employee work-hours, freeing your people to do something more meaningful, while minimizing errors.

Our pre-built automations can be easily customized to fit into any organization's internal processes, with pre- and post-check tasks ensuring that each step of the upgrade process is successful and includes verification.

Additionally, BackBox updates network inventory and compliance systems, so that all tracking is updated as part of the upgrade process.

Vendors are often late to issue vulnerability patches, leaving your system at risk. BackBox automates communication with all potentially affected devices, understands the level of vulnerability, and can automatically remediate exposures.

BackBox's unique approach to automation, combined with its simplicity and scalability, allow for such powerful, proactive security measures.

When unexpected problems in your networks arise, the first question is: What has changed?

With BackBox, this question is always easy to answer because changes in your configurations have auditable histories that are easy to access, read and compare. BackBox's built-in Compare Tool allows network admins to easily and clearly compare configuration baseline parameters, compliance expectations, or any other files.

–Automate Fixes–

Our automations can query your network’s devices to make sure they are running according to best practices and organizational policy, and can even remediate discrepancies, ensuring compliance.

Remediation can be auto-triggered or user-resolved, notifications being served through a variety of methods, such as email, ServiceNow or any other ITSM, integrating with and enabling your management flow.

The larger the network, the more difficult it is to ensure compliancy. For organizations with multiple large networks to manage, such as MSPs and MSSPs, the resulting complexity requires a powerful solution.

BackBox’s extensive Automation Library can automatically check your networks’ devices against critical parameters, generate and send (and archive) reports detailing their level of compliance, and automatically remediate discrepancies (or open a trouble ticket in ServiceNow or other ITSM to await administrator confirmation).

Thus, BackBox allows you to easily achieve and maintain compliancy with both external regulations (such as HIPAA, PCI, and CIS), as well as internally defined policy (such as password complexity), across networks of all sizes.

BackBox's Dynamic Inventory™ feature automates the collection of your network devices' details, gathering and organizing useful information such as device models, hostnames, specific OS versions, CPU type, total RAM, and many more - even MAC addresses and serial numbers. Customizable and flexible, BackBox makes it easy to add custom detail types and queries to include in your inventory.

The inventory is able to be tied to regularly scheduled tasks, such as backups, and/or on its own schedule, ensuring you have a detailed picture of your network as you want, when you want it.

You can use this inventory to populate any system that can be reached via an API, allowing for powerful external integrations. Likewise, any information accessible from the device via either CLI or API can be included in an inventory.
