SafeGuard Storage and Recovery
Safeguard Storage and Recovery offers a complete Backup and Disaster Recovery Solution (BDR) for Windows 2000, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 Servers. This reasonably priced, all-encompassing solution provides Small to Medium size businesses with near real-time backups that also includes seamless off-site data storage along with multi-year archiving and fast server virtualization capabilities.
- Replace Error-Prone tape drives. Tape drives are management intensive, prone to human error, and not 100 percent reliable.
- Covisia Storage Server. We provide a power storage server that provides on-site backup, as well as the ability to run your business in the event of an outage.
- Provides Business Continuity. A well thought out recovery strategy is key to business continuity.
- Incremental Forever Technology. Similar to tape backup incremental, we use only one full backup (or base image) and take snapshots every 15 minutes, forever.
- Recovery Options. Recovering files are as simple as copying the file back from the Storage Server to your server. We can also help recover large groups of files, folders, and Exchange mailboxes or an individual message.
- Virtualization. The Storage Server is capable virtualization of the failed server while keeping all of the data since the last incremental snapshot.
- Bare Metal Restore. When it comes to recovery, we can take the virtualized server back to physical hardware, even if the hardware is dissimilar.
- On-Site and Off-Site Solution with Multi-year Archiving. Each Storage Server can backup one to eight servers, then securely transferred to our o˜ site co-location facilities.
The Covisia Storage Server performs data backup at the block level where the actual 1's and 0's are captured from the hard drive essentially eliminating failures related to open files. Block level data is raw data which does not have a file structure imposed on it. Database applications such as Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server transfer data in blocks without having to worry if files are open or being used. Block transfer is the most efficient way to write to disk. Backups are performed as frequent as every 15 minutes providing clients with an increased amount of restore points when compared to traditional tape backups.
