Bera Backup is a tool that makes back-up copies of folders and files of the server and of the server settings, everything necessary for restoring the original system exactly. Because not only does it allow you to make a backup of files but you can also save a backup of the system settings (users, crontabs, installed packets...) and later it helps you to restore them on another server. Save many hours of work in server migration.

Until we developed Bera Backup, restoring a backup or migrating a server were complex tasks because there are hundreds of files, settings...and this meant hours of verifications. With Bera the whole process is much easier. Now the backups contain all of the information we need from a server, including its configuration, and restoring it is a question of minutes.
