OpenText Server Backup - Public Cloud
Back up Windows servers to the cloud. Recover what the business needs.
Protect supported Windows servers with encrypted, incremental cloud backup. Recover files and folders, selected volumes or complete servers — and choose OpenText-hosted public cloud storage or your own AWS account.
OpenText-hosted or BYOC with AWS
Encrypted in transit and at rest
File, volume or full-server recovery
Multi-customer management for MSPs
Choose the cloud storage path that fits
Use OpenText-hosted storage or bring your own AWS account
Both paths provide public cloud backup and recovery through the OpenText console. The right choice depends on how much storage setup, ownership and AWS control your team wants.
Simpler start
OpenText-hosted public cloud
- Backup storage hosted by OpenText in supported public cloud locations
- Faster onboarding — no customer-owned S3 configuration to validate
- OpenText manages the hosted storage environment
Direct AWS control
Bring Your Own Cloud with AWS
- Backup storage uses customer- or MSP-owned Amazon S3 buckets
- Requires supported S3 buckets, IAM permissions and console validation
- The AWS account owner manages storage, regions and cost
Protect server data in three practical steps
How it works
Choose OpenText-hosted public cloud storage or configure supported Amazon S3 storage in your own AWS account.
Apply a Server Backup policy and install the agent on each supported Windows server in scope.
Monitor backup status and recover the files, volumes or complete server required for the incident.
Recover at the level the incident requires
Restore one file, a full volume or the entire server
Files and folders
Recover selected business data without restoring an entire server.
Volumes
Recover selected server volumes when the issue affects a larger data set.
Complete servers
Use supported full-server, bare-metal or AWS cloud recovery workflows when the operating system, applications and data must be restored together
Recovery testing
Run supported disaster recovery tests and retain event history that shows what was tested and when.
One server backup product, two operating realities
MSP service manager
Add server recovery to the security services you already manage
Start separate trials or subscriptions by customer or site, assign policies, monitor protected servers and manage recovery activity with role-based access. Choose OpenText-hosted storage for a simpler start or use your own AWS account when storage control is part of your service model.
SMB infrastructure module
Protect critical servers without adding a proprietary backup appliance
Use encrypted public cloud backup for supported Windows servers, monitor backup status from one management view and recover at the level the incident requires. Choose the hosted path for simpler storage operations or keep backup data in your organization’s AWS account.
Protection designed for recovery
Keep backup data encrypted and access controlled
Both paths provide public cloud backup and recovery through the OpenText console. The right choice depends on how much storage setup, ownership and AWS control your team wants.
Important recovery responsibility:
The agent password is required to recover data and is not maintained elsewhere. Product onboarding and service documentation should tell customers how to store and govern this password securely.

FAQs
Which servers can I protect?
Prioritize laptops and workstations that hold business-critical data not reliably protected elsewhere, or where recovery requirements justify a dedicated endpoint backup policy.
Where is backup data stored?
Choose OpenText-hosted public cloud storage in a supported location or use supported Amazon S3 storage in your own AWS account through BYOC
What can I recover?
No. Endpoint protection helps prevent, detect and respond to threats. Endpoint backup protects copies of business data so it can be recovered after deletion, damage, ransomware or device loss. The capabilities are complementary.
How does the backup reduce repeated data transfer?
They may reduce the need for dedicated backup on devices whose business data is reliably stored and protected elsewhere. The readiness check identifies local files and recovery dependencies that remain on endpoints.
How is backup data protected?
Backup data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Recovery requires the customer-controlled agent password created during installation.
Can MSPs manage more than one customer?
Yes. Authorized partner administrators can manage customer sites, devices, policies, storage setup and recovery activity through Secure Cloud and the Management Console.
Can I set different retention requirements?
Public product materials describe OpenText cloud, public-cloud and on-site deployment options. Availability and packaging should be confirmed for the target market.
Is a trial available?
A free trial is documented in the current product workflow. Availability and provisioning can vary by route and market, so confirm the current offer with an OpenText representative.
