Before you install the software, you might want to review our Installation Steps page and get familiar with installing and configuring Backup for Workgroups, or read the specific information on backing up an Exchange Server, Active Directory, or MS-SQL.

(*) Notes: Limitations on Evaluation Mode:

Due to US Government Export Regulations, the 256-bit and 56-bit encryption capabilities are disabled during the evaluation period.
Cross hardware restoration is disabled during the evaluation period. Why did we do this? Because too many people were using Backup for Workgroups as a free migration utility, instead of a backup solution that provides long-term, on-going data protection. Feel free to contact us at sales@lockstep.com if you have any questions or comments about this restriction.
The Exchange Message Restore add-on will allow you verify that you can select messages to restore but not allow the restoration of email messages without an Exchange Message Restore Add-On license key.
You can only backup 10 computers during the evaluation period.
You can backup and restore files for up to 30 days and then the evaluation software will stop performing backups and restores.

Everyday, thousands of corporations, non-profits, and Government agencies use Backup for Workgroups Backup Software to backup their Windows Servers! You can too!
