Backup Tool

Till now users of Collaber has one problem. How to backup the workspace and restore it when some thing unwanted happens?

We are introducing new Backup Tool that will work like your system restore point.(If you are using Windows). Similar to Windows system restore point, you can create restore points in Backup Tool. Every time a restore point is created, all your workspace data at that time is securely backed-up in the server. This data involves every aspect of your workspace, including all files and attachments.

At any point of time in future you can restore your workspace to any restore point you have created. Immediately all members of this workspace will be switched back to previous restore point.

This tool will be released in next major release, and mostly will be offered in premium packages only. (Packages are not finalized yet).

Application Tool

This is the tool that puts Collaber ahead of many other competitors. Application Tool is Collaber’s answer to Groove’s Forms tool.
Application Tool is an environment to develop your own tools. It is similar to any server side scripting environments like PHP,JSP,ASP etc.

The main difference is that Collaber Application Tool uses Javascript as its server side scripting language. This has tremendous advantage. Developers just need to know HTML, Javascript to develop rich collaborative applications.

Collaber Application Tool contains built in Javascript engine(Rhino from Mozilla) and have all Collaber objects exported to this Javascript engine.

You are not limited to just Forms and Views, but develop any application ranging from simple Javascript based Game to a full fledged web application using Collaber as your backend database.

You like Javascript frameworks likes JQuery, Prototype? Great, continue using them inside Collaber. Use all latest Web2.0 technologies and even AJAX if required.
