After thousands hours of coding and testing, we are glad to announce that CubeBackup version 1.0 is finally released (What a relief!). \u00a0I must admit that this product takes much longer time than we expected. \u00a0It is always easy to make an almost-to-work product, but it is much harder to make a real product that can be used by thousands of users.\u00a0 Too much time was spent on optimization and perfection, like to figure out which is the best solution for one specific tiny problem, or how to handle the situation if something unexpected happens. Not only for just CubeBackup software, we also spent so much time on the website: \u00a0the design, the html style and the server-side part all went\u00a0through several major modifications plus countless minor ones.<\/p>\n

\"google-apps-backup\"<\/p>\n

I have tried several other Google Apps backup solutions,\u00a0 despite the similar user interfaces,\u00a0 different strategies are employed in different solutions. \u00a0 \u00a0When we designed and made CubeBackup, we just follow the guidelines below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Incremental backup<\/strong>:\u00a0 Except for the first time backup, CubeBackup only backs up the new or modified documents on Google Drive, new mails received or sent in Gmail, new or modified contacts, and calendar events which is still valid. \u00a0Not only can this algorithm save your bandwidth and time, it can also save lots of disk space for the backup. \u00a0Some Google Apps backup solutions in the market still use non-incremental backup strategy, which I cannot understand why.<\/li>\n
  2. Automatic backup<\/strong>:\u00a0 CubaBackup can perform daily (or weekly, depends on your configuration) backup automatically without human operations.<\/li>\n
  3. Office-compatible backup files<\/strong>: \u00a0which can be retrieved and opened by local software. We insist that all backup data should be human readable and operational. So, all the backup files for Google Drive can be opened by Microsoft Office (or OpenOffice, etc.). \u00a0Gmail backups are standard mail files which can be opened by almost all mail client software. \u00a0For Calendar and Contacts backups, \u00a0along with the original XML raw data, standard Contacts and Calendar format backups are also available.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We are happy to release CubeBackup today. \u00a0However,\u00a0 CubeBackup is not perfect,\u00a0 and I bet there are still bugs in it and there are still lots of things that need to improve. \u00a0If you have any suggestions or questions of CubeBackup, please email us: support@cubebackup.com<\/a>. We are always glad to hear from you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
