BOBS is an all-inclusive online backup system that enables convenient browsing capabilities.
The Browseable Online Backup System (BOBS) is a comprehensive online backup solution that offers users the ability to store their data on large disks and retrieve them via a web browser. The software allows for the retrieval of files from other computers and stores them in directories on the computer where BOBS is installed.
There are two types of file storage options: "Current" and "Incremental". "Current" stores files from the remote computer as they were during the last backup, whereas "Incremental" retains files that have been changed or deleted on the remote server. These changed or deleted files are moved to the "incoming" directory first and then tagged with a date before finally being moved to the "incremental" directory.
In terms of user interaction, if a user loses or corrupts their data, they can restore it by simply opening a web browser and directing it to the backup server that has BOBS installed. The user must then log in using the password defined by the admin (which should be the same as the one used on the server where the lost/corrupted files were located).
The user can then browse, search, and select the files they need to restore. However, the software only allows the user to see the name, date, and size of the files but not its contents. Once the user has identified the files that need to be restored, they can activate the restore process and wait for the files to be transferred to their server where they can access them just like any other files.
In conclusion, BOBS is an outstanding online backup system that offers users seamless integration with their data storage and retrieval process. Its user-friendly interface, combined with its ease of use and quick retrieval process, make it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable online backup solution.
