Introduction to the service

Delta Cloud Backup is a managed backup service that allows you to protect the data on your devices by creating secure, encrypted backups stored in the cloud. Unlike manual backup solutions, Delta Cloud Backup provides automated scheduling, retention policies, and granular restore capabilities — all managed through the Delta.BG client area without the need for additional control panels.

Delta Cloud Backup - Overview

The service supports Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms, providing flexible backup options for files, folders, MySQL databases, and system states. Each device connects to your backup account using a dedicated agent that runs in the background and executes backups according to your configured schedule.

  • Multi-platform support — protect devices running Windows, Linux, and macOS with a single backup account
  • Flexible backup sources — back up files, folders, MySQL databases, Windows System State, and more
  • Automated scheduling — configure daily, weekly, or monthly backup schedules
  • Retention policies — define how long backup snapshots are kept to balance storage usage with recovery coverage
  • Granular restore — restore individual files, entire folders, or full system snapshots from any available snapshot
  • Real-time monitoring — track backup and restore job history with detailed logs and statistics
