In most organisations, data from mobile users (whether on the road or plugged into the LAN) is not stored at the company’s data centre, making it difficult to properly back-up and safeguard. However, in many cases, information stored on laptops is critical to a company’s business operations --- , so it’s unwise to leave this to users to protect. With Recovery Vault, all of your users’ laptop data is copied over your network to a central online repository. If users lose data, your help desk - or the users themselves - can restore it immediately

Of those companies that had a major loss of business data, 43% never reopen, 51% close within two years, and only 6% will survive long-term. So with the increasingly important role of IT in the business and today’s around-the-clock economy, it’s even more important to protect your data and your infrastructure. And when you need to store a second instance of the backed up data in another geographical location, you can use the Recovery Vault Replication DS-System.

Server consolidation is driving deployment of virtualisation solutions across enterprises of all sizes. However, to fully realise the benefits of virtualisation, organisations must consider their information recovery management strategy. Traditional backup and recovery strategies generally don’t offer the granular recovery demanded by the business. More importantly, the cost associated with traditional or agent based technologies negates many of the cost advantages of virtualisation. Recovery Vault provides a robust feature set ideal for virtual environments. It delivers an efficient, cost-effective and transformational solution maximises a virtualisation strategy while achieving superior information protection and recovery management.

Through a secure web access you always have access to your data. Therefore you can restore data, without having the Recovery Vault software installed.

This enables the shipment of a local backup – on a hard drive – physically to a datacentre. In case of large amounts of data, this saves a lot of time. Subsequent backups of changes can be made quickly over the internet.

Recovery Vault encrypts your data in flight and at rest from cradle to grave. Passwords are automatically generated and recycled. Recovery Vault Enterprise Edition includes disk-based automation processes which require no manual intervention (such as changing tapes) and is therefore fully compliant with regulations like HIPPA and Gram-Leach- Billey.

Daily backups are fast and efficient, because - besides new files - only the changes of backed up files are transmitted. Especially for large files this is very convenient.

Recovery Vault was designed to alleviate the challenges of backing up remote sites. One of the biggest issues is managing WAN bandwidth costs. Recovery Vault reduces the amount of data being backed up in the steps. First, all duplicate data is removed. Second, only changes from the previous backup (continuous delta technology), are transmitted and finally compression algorithms are used to further reduce the bandwidth required.

The Mass Deployment feature enables you to deploy the Recovery Vault DS-Client software in silent mode and configure the software automatically. This ensures minimum time consumption for sites remote users with similar configuration, schedules, backup sets and retention rules.

Recovery Vault’s CDP implementation is a two-stage continuous backup that, without agents, backs up any changes on your servers as they occur. Backup starts with this change event. The appliance then aggregates the changes, de-duplicates, compresses, and encrypts prior to offsite transit to the centralised storage repository at the data centre.

To understand how Recovery Vault backs up data over the network without the use of agents, consider how a local hard drive in a Microsoft Windows server can be backed up over the network. A system administrator accesses the local hard drive over the network as a shared drive and maps it as a drive letter. A disk-to-disk backup of that hard drive is then performed by copying its contents to another hard drive over the network. Recovery Vault’s software uses a sophisticated extension of this idea, without agents. Although simple and elegant in concept, it required years of development to get right on a broad variety of operating systems and data types.

Years ago, we treated all data as being equal. All data originated on one type of storage and stayed there until it was deleted. We now understand that not all data is created equal. Some types are more important than others, or accessed more frequently than others. Data Lifecycle Management (DLM), a component of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), defines the DLM concept where data is created on one storage system, then migrated to less expensive storage systems as it ages.

When thinking about data protection in a network, two technologies come to mind: data backup, and data replication. Recovery Vault protects data by copying data off-site to a secure location and maintaining several versions of files, to protect against both accidental and malicious data corruption. In addition, Recovery Vault comes integrated with replication to a second secure data vault to protect DS-System online storage.

This tool helps us redesign your backup strategy by identifying different tiers of data and how many versions of that data should be kept online in the backup repository. Some of the report templates include Share Usage, Largest Files, Largest Duplicates, Ownership, File Type Distribution, Partition Size, Access Report/Dormant Files, Growth and Modified Files, SQL Server Size, and Exchange Server Size.

This module addresses the need for rapid, seamless business continuity. It stores a copy of the latest generation or multiple generations of a backup set on the local LAN, and ensures that relevant backup sets are always available for immediate restoration at LAN speed - from an individual file version to a complete system restore.
