UrBackup consists of a server that stores the backups and clients on the computers you protect. You can centrally find files and manage tasks from a web interface. Windows also has image backups; for full disk recovery you use a separate boot environment.

The parts have their own versions. The version number on this page is on the Windows client; the server and Linux client follow a different sequence. The server must be accessible and have sufficient storage. This setup requires more preparation than a separate USB backup, but can bring together multiple computers.

Compare UrBackup with alternatives

For multiple workplaces, central policy, notifications, recovery rights and supported workloads are important. In addition, compare whether you need a server or use an managed service. A dashboard that displays tasks is not automatically the product that performs the backups.

Who is it for?

You manage multiple computers at home or in a small environment and want your own central backup destination. You need to be able to arrange server storage, access and maintenance.

Getting started

Install and configure an UrBackup server first. Then add the appropriate client and check a first file job and recovery access.

Privacy

You decide where the server and backup storage are located. Secure the web interface and restore permissions, as central access can also give access to data from multiple computers.

Good to know

Windows, Linux and macOS clients have different capabilities. The server, clients and recovery environment have separate issues.

Please note

Not just install a client: without suitable server destination, the setup is incomplete. Check recovery separately per platform and keep an independent reserve of important server data.

Advantages

  • You can protect multiple computers centrally.
  • You can search files through a web interface.
  • You can prepare Windows image recovery with a boot medium.

Things to consider

  • You need a managed server and sufficient storage.
  • Functions and versions differ between clients.
  • Central storage itself is also a component that may fail.

Our verdict

UrBackup fits especially when you want to protect multiple devices and the extra server device makes sense. For one laptop with an external drive, the design is relatively extensive. For a household or small environment, the central overview can help you notice missed tasks.

Not only check the client status, but also restore a file and prepare image recovery where necessary. Keep track of server storage and permissions. One central backup server makes management more manageable, but should not become unnoticed the only point on which all your recovery options depend.
