Equiinet's backup solution BackupPilot Plus and BackupPilot Lite utilise both local and remote storage elements. Data is saved to the local BackupPilot and for additional resilience can be backed up to other remote data storage devices using unused overnight internet bandwidth.

BackupPilot operates automatically, so that all the school's data is backed up without any need for human intervention. Even teacher laptops, which are often left out of any backup plan are covered, as client software installed onto each laptop enables backups whenever the laptop is connected to the school's network

There are no extra charges based on the number of servers, PCs or laptops being backed up, or equally importantly, for differing types of software applications deployed by the school. One price covers all applications making BackupPilot one of the most cost effective solutions currently available.

BackupPilot Plus is the ideal solution for secondary schools while BackupPilot Lite has been designed to be the perfect device for primaries. Both enable replacement of tapes and other less reliable media.

In addition the BackupPilot Plus has just won prestigious accreditation from Capita Children's Service. Services for backing up the widely deployed SIMS (School Information Management System) software.
