What is Titan Backup Business Server?

Titan Backup Business Server is a component of the Titan Backup Business solution, built for small and medium sized business networks. It allows an easy centralized management for all the backup tasks inside your network. It is meant to be handled by a Network Administrator who is in charge for the backups of all the workstations in the network.

The Network Admin should install Titan Backup Business Workstation on all the computers in the network, and set them to connect and receive commands from the central Titan Backup Business Server.

Titan Backup Business Server Features:

• Create and manage Admin Backup Tasks from a centralized web-based console
  
  
• Can control local or remote computers (if the firewall rules allow external connections and the server has an external IP address). You can control off-site locations, by using a the Titan Backup Business Server on a domain or subdomain, and distributed workstations that all connect to the Business Server for instructions. The best task in this scenario is a FTP backup task.
