The DocAve Software Platform is a one-of-a-kind solution for complete SharePoint back-end protection and management.

Here are some unique capabilities that differentiate AvePoint’s DocAve Software Platform from other SharePoint backup and management solutions:
 

It is the only truly integrated, complete back-end data protection and management tool for SharePoint

Scalability allows seamless expansion from individual modules without reinstalling them on the current infrastructure. Truly unified centralized management of all components is easily handled though a single, use-friendly, Web-based GUI. Integration of all components (backup and recovery, archiving, migration, content management, replication, administration, and compliance*) results in the most complete set of available SharePoint solutions. *DocAve 4.5 or later versions
 

It utilizes a business-centric approach to backup by using granularity

Protection granularity (site, sub-site, item, object, etc.) allows for classification of data based on importance and utilization of different mediums and schedules to backup and restore information. DocAve allows for granular backup and does not require backing up the entire SQL database in one shot. For instance, if critical sections of your SharePoint environment need to be backed up twice a day to meet an SLA, you will no longer need to backup an entire database which can cause serious storage and performance issues. With DocAve, critical areas can be backed up more frequently, and allow you to optimally leverage existing tiered storage capabilities within your organization.
 

It preserves the integrity of restored data

Many documents stored in SharePoint go through an intense document management cycle and might include many participants that generate and store critical metadata. DocAve retains not only the original data and restores it to the original location, but it also preserves full metadata information, including all securities.

• Backup schedules can be set for individual site collections or even down to a single folder or item.
• Reports and alerts can be sent to the appropriate SharePoint administrators or site owners.
• Filtering can be set to ignore certain files or file types for backup.
• Encryption and compression can be controlled granularly so sensitive data is protected without affecting overall performance.
