Ventis BackupSuite 2008 is a collection of applications that together form a backup system. This system can backup files to external hard drives, USB keys, local folders, network folders, CD/DVD media and FTP folders. Data encryption and compression can be achieved by selecting backups to be archived as Zip files. The three standard data repository models (full, differential and incremental) and are supported. In addition to this, it is possible to make mirror backups. It is possible to search for backed up files and folders using wildcard characters ("*" and "?"). A further feature is that backup databases are handled like normal documents instead of having one central database (the vendor claims that it is safer to have many smaller databases than one big database containing all the backup information). The user interface resembles very much the user interface in Microsoft Office 2007.

Name

The program's name is derived from the vendors name VentisPro. Ventis is the plural of "venti", which means "twenty" in Italian. Twenty refers to the first two digits in this century, and is also used in other software titles published by the company. The name "BackupSuite" comes from the fact that it is a software suite package consisting of several applications each performing various backup oriented tasks.
