Today, NetJapan, Inc., makers of backup and disaster recovery software solutions, releases ActiveImage Protector v3.5 with Inline Deduplication Compression (IDC) & Support for Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8.

ActiveImage Protector v3.5 enhances performance, compression, compatibility and security, and adds new off-site and cloud backup features.

New Features and Options:

• Inline Deduplication Compression (IDC) – AIP is the first backup product to offer software based inline deduplication. Inline deduplication improves compression by excluding redundant blocks of data; this can result in a significant reduction in the size of backup image files.
• Support for Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8.
• ESXi Support – AIP v3.5 now supports cold backup imaging and recovery of ESXi hosts and all guest machines.
• Support for Storage Spaces – AIP supports the backup, restore and saving of backup images to a virtual volume in Storage Spaces, a new feature in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8.
• Support for Large Sector Hard Drives – AIP now supports large sector hard drives, allowing the backup and restore of large capacity disk drives over 3TB, and virtual volumes on Storage Spaces.
• Enhanced Off-site Replication – In addition to shared network drives and FTP locations, WebDav folders are now a destination point for replicating backups. Off-site replication can prove to be valuable in the event of natural disaster or systemic failures and breaches.
• Support for ReFS (Resilient File System) – AIP 3.5 supports ReFS, the new advanced file system in Windows Server 2012.
• Support for Multi-disk Image Files – Allows backing up multiple physical disks into a single image file for enhanced image management flexibility.
• Support for CSVFS Volumes (Cluster Shared Volume File System) – Added support for backing up CSV volumes in Windows Server 2012.
