OpenText Server Backup – Public Cloud

What OpenText Server Backup – Public Cloud is

OpenText Server Backup – Public Cloud is a cloud-native backup product for Windows servers, aimed at small and mid-sized businesses and managed service providers. Its forever-incremental method saves changes after an initial full backup to reduce storage needs and network impact. Recovery covers individual files, folders, complete servers, and bare-metal machines. For cloud disaster recovery, full servers can be recovered as AWS EC2 instances; the product also describes automatic failover and non-disruptive recovery testing. Customers can connect their own public cloud storage or select OpenText-hosted storage in eight global regions. Backup files are immutable within the platform. Security provisions include AES-256 encryption, customer-only access to decryption keys, and support for 2FA and SSO. OpenText says the service supports HIPAA, GDPR, and other common compliance frameworks, with configurable regional data residency and retention policies. MSPs can manage customer environments through a multi-tenant console with role-based access controls and integrated backup and security management. The product comparison positions Public Cloud for users with existing public cloud storage or streamlined onboarding needs; a separate Server Backup product supports more complex systems and over 200 operating systems. Pricing is available by request, and a free trial is listed.
