BackupRingen

BackupRingen is a data backup and disaster recovery software suite designed to protect digital assets through automated backups, versioning, and recoverability workflows. It supports local, network, and cloud storage targets and is marketed to organizations ranging from small businesses to large enterprises.

The product was introduced in the early 2010s by the fictional company BackupRingen Ltd. The initial release provided cross‑platform client agents for Windows and macOS, with Linux support added in a subsequent update. Over time, the platform expanded to include cloud integrations, centralized management, and enhanced security features.

The architecture uses a client–server model with a centralized management console. It offers incremental backups, synthetic full backups, data deduplication, and compression to optimize storage. Encryption at rest and in transit (often AES-256), along with role‑based access control and audit logs, supports governance and security. The system can back up file servers, workstations, virtual machines, and cloud resources, and it supports automation via a REST API and command-line tools.

In practice, organizations use BackupRingen to support data protection, business continuity, and ransomware resilience. It interoperates with major cloud providers and various storage targets, while licenses are typically subscription-based with trial periods and enterprise options. Some editions offer immutable backups for added protection against tampering.
