Keepit for Linux now available!

Put on your party hats and break out the champagne. Keepit for Linux is finally here!

Since the early days of Keepit, support for Linux has been on the top of our wish list, and now that it’s here we can hardly hide our excitement with the new release of Keepit 3.0, providing support for Linux and system restore and a range of other improvements.

Enabling support for Linux is an important step toward being able to better serve our business customers in backing up their Linux based servers and computers. Currently, Keepit supports Linux using the Debian architecture, but we expect to be adding other versions in the future. The client will provide both a GUI and a command line version, making it a useful tool for both the desktop Linux user using our GUI version and the server administrator preferring to manage the servers using a command line.

System Restore on Windowss

Keepit 3.0 also delivers new goodies for our Windows users. When properly configured, Keepit can back up a full Windows Server including all installed applications, their data and all user settings and data. This backup can be used for disaster recovery and the entire backup can be restored “in-place” over a bare Windows installation on another server.
