Protect your business

Businesses can spend tens of thousands of dollars in an effort to recover data from a computer failure and there can be as little as a 10% chance of recovering your data, assuming that you still had a system which you could send off to the data recovery service. If the system was stolen or destroyed by fire, there would be almost no chance of being able to recover the data through a recovery service. Using Shadow Protect with offsite replication you have the peace of mind that they can recover 100% of your data to new hardware or to a virtual machine.

Ask yourself these questions.
  • If your server crashes, would you like to get it up and running into full production in typically less than 5 minutes using VirtualBoot™?
  • Would you like to restore a single file or folder in typically less than 20 seconds each and every time?
  • Would you like to eliminate backup windows once and for all?
  • Would you be interested in migrating say a 3TB server with perhaps 10 minutes of downtime?

Migrate to a New Server or a New Virtual Environment

  • Scenario: It’s time to upgrade to new server hardware
  • Scenario: The boss decides to migrate to a virtual server environment

ShadowProtect Server is a phenomenal tool for Windows server migration. First, you take a rapid point-in-time backup of everything on your server before you begin the migration process. Now you not only have a complete backup of your server, you also have an image to migrate to your new server hardware or virtual machine. Using the HIR technology in ShadowProtect Server, you restore your backup image to new server hardware or to a virtual machine and your migration is complete. The whole process takes a couple of hours, rather than a couple of days.

Granular Recovery of Files and Folders

  • Scenario: The boss accidently deletes an important document from the file server and needs it in 10 minutes.

ShadowProtect Server allows you to perform granular recovery of individual files and folders – there’s no need for a separate data backup of your server. You simply right click on the point-in-time ShadowProtect backup image file (the last backup taken before the boss deleted the file), mount the image as a drive letter on the network, browse to the missing folder and file, and then drag and drop it to the production server. Or you can mount the backup image file as a network share and tell the user where to find it.

Disaster Recovery

  • Scenario: A flood wipes out your main offices.

With ShadowProtect Server, you can restore all of your Windows servers, even if your hardware is damaged beyond repair. That’s because ShadowProtect’s Hardware Independent Restore™ (HIR) technology makes it possible to restore your server backup images to brand new hardware, even virtual servers. Plus because ShadowProtect Server can take backup images up to every 15 minutes throughout the day, your Recovery Point Objective (RPO) – the age of data you could restore when the disaster happens – could be less than 15 minutes. Now you can get your business running again, and have your RPO at 15 minutes or less, even if your offices are temporarily closed.
