BOBcloud's Windows module protects both Windows Servers and Desktop machines at the file system and bare-metal level. Back up system state, files, folders, Active Directory, and SQL Server databases — then restore granularly or as a complete bare-metal recovery.
Unlike Windows Server Backup — Microsoft's built-in tool — BOBcloud backs up directly to ISO 27001 certified cloud storage on Azure or Wasabi. There is no need for additional tooling to get data off-site, no storage constraints from local disks, and no manual intervention required to verify backup completion.
All backup jobs are monitored from your reseller portal. You see the status of every client's backup in one place — no logging into individual servers, no checking Windows Event Logs manually.
Windows Server Backup (WSB) is Microsoft's free built-in tool. It works for simple environments, but has significant limitations for MSPs managing production client environments:
BOBcloud's Windows cloud backup resolves all of these limitations — with direct cloud backup, centralised monitoring, proactive alerting, and application-aware SQL backup included in the same module.
One module covers everything your clients' Windows environments need. No separate agents, no add-on modules.
Full system backup including operating system, applications, and data. Restore to the same or different hardware from a single recovery image.
Granular file and folder backup with per-file restore. Restore a single document, a folder, or an entire drive without restoring the full system.
Capture registry, Active Directory, SYSVOL, and boot files for domain controllers. Essential for AD disaster recovery scenarios.
Application-aware SQL Server backup with transaction log support. Point-in-time database recovery and individual database restore without taking SQL offline.
After the first full backup, only changed blocks are transferred. Deduplication and compression reduce storage usage and backup windows significantly.
Every backup job across all clients visible from one reseller portal. Proactive alerts when jobs fail — no manual log checking required.
Data stored in ISO 27001 certified Microsoft Azure and Wasabi Cloud Storage in UK/EU regions. 11 nines of durability. GDPR compliant.
All data encrypted with a private key you control. BOBcloud never stores or has access to your clients' encryption passwords.
No artificial retention caps. Keep backup data for as long as your clients' compliance requirements demand — days, months, or years.

Managing Windows Server backup across multiple clients without a centralised platform means logging into each server individually, checking Event Logs manually, and hoping nothing has silently failed.
BOBcloud's reseller portal gives you a single view of every client's backup status — jobs completed, storage used, any failures — without touching individual servers. Daily backup reports go straight to your clients' email addresses under your brand.
When you take on a new client running Windows Server Backup, migrating to BOBcloud is straightforward — install the agent, configure the backup set, and the first full backup runs overnight. Subsequent backups are incremental.
Yes. BOBcloud supports granular restore — restore individual files, folders, or the entire system depending on what's needed. You can also restore to a different location or different machine without overwriting the live system.
Yes — unlike Windows Server Backup, BOBcloud backs up directly to ISO 27001 certified Azure or Wasabi cloud storage. No local staging, no additional tooling required for off-site protection.
After the first full backup, only changed blocks are transferred using incremental block-level technology. Deduplication and compression reduce bandwidth usage significantly — typically 5-10% of full backup size per day for active servers.
Yes. The Windows module includes an application-aware SQL Server agent that backs up databases in a consistent state without taking SQL offline. Transaction log backup and point-in-time recovery are supported.
Yes. All data is encrypted with AES-256 using a private password your client controls. BOBcloud never stores or has access to encryption passwords — data is unreadable without the key.
Yes. System state backup covers Active Directory, SYSVOL, registry, and boot files on domain controllers — essential for AD disaster recovery. Supports authoritative and non-authoritative AD restores.
Failed backup jobs are flagged immediately in your reseller portal and trigger an alert. You see every failure across all clients without checking individual servers. Daily status reports also go to your clients under your branding.
