Archiver.FS

Archiver.FS is a lightweight application that provides you with an efficient archiving solution for network file systems.

First off, given the nature of the program, it is recommended that you create a user account dedicated to the app's service. In order for things to go smoother, you need to make sure that this user account has full control permissions over the files that you intend to archive and the storage location/

You may need to create symbolic links as well as the right to manage auditing and security log on the computer you install the program. Consequentially, it is safe to state that the tool address advanced users, such as network administrators, for instance.

Unless you are planning to set the application on Windows servers, then the installation should be fast and smooth. After you run the installer, you are required to set up a share on the server that you want to store the archives.

What sets the application apart is that it only needs a tiny database, as it uses the dedicated network shares to safekeeping the archived files. Even though the data is stored in the network, you should know it maintains the directory structures, NTFS permissions and file attributes. The direct advantage stemming from here is that creating backups becomes faster and more cost efficient.

A further noteworthy feature is that you can sweep the unused archives and gain more space by scheduling a graveyard job. If you did not use various archives for an interval and you want to make sure the data is easy to find whenever necessary, then you can remove it from archive jobs or destination and transfer them to the desired location.

Archiver.FS is an advanced software solution that provides you with an affordable environment for storing and creating backups of your network file systems. On the other hand, the tool addresses advanced users who should be prepared to dedicate some time to configure it properly.
