New Features Have Been Released for the WholesaleBackup Windows Server
New Server (Dashboard) Tab
A new WholesaleBackup Windows Servers (dashboard) tab appears in the WholesaleBackup Server UI, providing sets of different graphs and metrics giving you a nice high level view of various server performance indicators and your backup service software data.
The new Wholesale Backup Windows server dashboard makes use of modern approaches leveraging responsive design, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and Ajax, the data and graphs automatically scale and respond to best fit the size of the tab view port and is scalable.
Here is a breakdown of each new graph and what information you can glean from it.
Server
The first panel under the Server category provides some general server identification information such as:
- Server name
- Operating system version
- When the server was started
- Current server uptime.
Internet Bandwidth
The second panel under the Server category displays the Internet Bandwidth graph, presenting the last seven days of the server internet bandwidth utilization in Mb/s measured at ~10 minutes intervals, where you can monitor the highs and lows of the internet connection speeds the backup data is being transferred at. (For more details check on this topic check out: Calculating how long backups will take | Sizing your internet pipe for online backups)
Disk I/O Utilization
The third panel under the Server category displays the Disk I/O Utilization graph, this graph also presents the last seven days of data input/output (Disk IO)in Mbs information measured at ~10 minutes intervals. The Read and Write speeds for each volume or drive used for storing user backup data by the WholesaleBackup Server software is displayed on the graph. (More details on how disk speeds impact backup performance)
CPU Usage
The fourth panel under the Server category in the CPU Usage/information graph indicates the current CPU utilization, CPU free, how many cores the CPU has, the processor speed (GHz), manufacturer, model, and type.
Physical Memory (RAM)
The fifth panel under the Server category is the Physical Memory (RAM) graph, indicating Total RAM available, RAM used, Virtual memory available and Virtual memory used.
Accounts Summary
The sixth panel under the Server category is the Accounts Summary graph, indicating the number of accounts, computers, status of the accounts, and how many computers are connected now.
Backup Service
The first panel under the Backup Service category is the Backup Software information, presenting some general information such as the
- WholesaleBackup Windows Server version
- Date the backup service was last started / uptime for the backup service
- Amount of threads utilized by the backup software service
- Amount of RAM the backup service is using
- Total amount of brands hosted on this WholesaleBackup Server
Process I/O
The second panel under the Backup Service category is the Process I/O graph, which contains I/O accounting information for a process or a job object. For a job object, the counters include all operations performed by all processes that have ever been associated with the job, in addition to all processes currently associated with the job. The backup software service shows data for the ReadOperationCount and WriteOperationCount for the last 4 weeks. (See Microsoft Source Reference)
CPU Percentage
The third panel under the Backup Service category is the CPU % (percentage) graph, indicating how much CPU utilization is being consumed by the backup service this graph keeps track of data for the last 4 weeks. The backup software does not rely on, or use much CPU, as Disk IO and Internet Bandwidth are at the two single most important factors impacting your WholesaleBackup Windows Servers service performance.
Memory
The fourth panel under the Backup Service category is the Memory (MB) graph, indicating how much memory is being consumed / utilized by the backup service software over the last 4 weeks. By design the Backup Server Software runs very light, not requiring much CPU or RAM resources as mentioned above Bandwidth and Disk IO are the most important metrics for fast backups.
Connections
The fifth panel under the Backup Service category is the Connections graph, the connections are recorded over the last 4 week period, each backup client makes multiple connections during the course of a backup.
Service Restarts
the last panel is the Service Restarts table, which keeps track of when the backup service was restarting and how long it was running for (uptime).
Most hosted backup servers auto-upgrade when the software is restarted, or you can upgrade your WholesaleBackup hosted backup server right now if it is not already.

See What Our Partners Are Saying About Us
After trying multiple name brand backup vendors, we finally Partnered with WholesaleBackup and couldn’t be happier with the functionality and cost.
I am very impressed with the level of customer care and communication you have put forth into making sure that our setup with you guys goes smoothly. It is rare nowadays to find vendors that take pride in their products as well as show concern for a client’s well-being.
We were able to quickly restore our clients data without any issues using their last good backup – saving them from total data loss and stopping their business!
Your response time to any and all my request is far superior to any customer service I’ve ever received my ENTIRE CAREER.
After using another white-label cloud backup solution for years, switching to WholesaleBackup has been a lifesaver. MUCH less maintenance, cost, bandwidth, and the U.S. based support is the stellar. The software and interface is SO much simpler and easy to use. I would recommend WholesaleBackup to any MSP looking to streamline their cloud backup system.
