Disaster Recovery
The Challenge
Today's system recovery options can be complex and time consuming, or may not even perform as expected. Administrators need to manage many architectures, processes, formats, backups, and locations, and use different processes and applications. Many times the files needed for recovery were not backed up, or the administrator can’t locate all the files needed to restore a system, application or critical data.
Disaster recovery can be a complex, and time consuming process which can leave companies at the mercy of expensive downtime. It can take many hours to complete a tape backup restoration, which is not acceptable in most businesses today. Often times, IT administrators must create recovery floppies or CDs to perform a bare metal recovery with the necessary system and network drivers. This can be a very burdensome for IT administrators to maintain.
The Solution
Disk-based recovery is a very efficient way to get servers and PCs up and running quickly. StorageCraft™ solutions do not require IT administrators to create recovery media or try and locate backup tapes. Using disk-based backup combined with intelligent snapshot techniques, IT administrators can recover individual files, folders or a complete server or PC system using StorageCraft ShadowProtect solutions.
