Real-Time Recovery

Real-Time Recovery (RTR) is a new market segment that has been created due to the discontent of the traditional tape based backup and recovery technology. Most traditional backup and recovery products focus on the backup process and not what is important to a customer – which is the recovery process. After all, the only reason we backup our data is to restore it at some stage in the future.

RTR delivers next generation (3rd generation - proven, reliable and affordable) real-time data protection and real-time recovery of systems (OS), applications, settings, preferences, databases (eg Exchange and SQL), etc. For a solution to be considered a RTR solution, it must fulfill the following criteria:

#Protect data at the sector level using Microsoft VSS Provider technology at frequencies down to every 15 minutes throughout the day with minimal impact on the server, network or users.
#Provide the ability to rebuild a Windows (includes SBS, Exchange, SQL, etc) server (eg 10GB) operating system in typically under 12 minutes to the same hardware, different hardware or even to a virtual environment.
#It must allow users to restore their own files with minimal to zero IT involvement by mounting incremental images and creating a virtual ‘read only’ volume that can be shared amongst users as either a drive letter (eg R for Restore) or a custom name (eg Monday’s Backup). It must retain all NTFS passwords, permissions and settings to ensure privacy of information.
#It must be a single integrated technology, built from the ground up to deliver the above without the need to add on options, agents or modules to deliver a complete solution.
#An RTR solution must substantially reduce cost & complexity whilst helping to ensure compliance when providing real-time data protection and recovery.
