Disaster Recovery Service

What would you do in the event of a Disaster? Do you have a defined recovery plan?

Are you able to answer these questions:

  • Does your backup work?
  • Has a restore been tested?
  • How long would it take to replace:
    • Your main server
    • Your backup device
  • Can you ensure that your current backup tape can be read by a newer device, if at all?

In a standard disaster recovery situation, it can take a number of days before a replacement server is even ordered, depending on your current server it may not even be possible to aquire a compatible replacement.

Are your backups hardware dependant, or independant?

VMware allows direct virtual machine backups of the entire, running, virtual machine, including data and configuration.

This allows you to:

  • Restore a full working machine in the time it takes to restore from backup media
  • Restore onto a completely different server
  • And in some circumstances, be up-and-running the same day

Along with new backup technologys from Symantec Backup Exec, utilising the HP RDX Disk Based backup system and the VMware Backup Service, restoration in the event of a disaster has never been easier, or quicker.
