The value of having a Real-Time Disaster Recovery solution
With the world events, disaster recovery is now top of mind for many business owners. Like insurance policies, waiting until after the disaster strikes is too late. Disasters are not always due to natural events, let’s explore an everyday problem that can quickly escalate in to a disaster situation.  It is 11:31am – your critical Exchange Server has just crashed. What do you do? Hopefully your server is repaired / replaced by 3pm, it then takes 4 – 6 hours to re-install the operating system, service packs, applications, updates, etc. It takes another 8 hours to restore your data back from tape. Your business has no access to email for the whole day and you have just lost several hours of important emails, what is the business impact? How many orders or even worse, how many customers have you just lost?

There is an easier, faster and more affordable solution now available, StorageCraft® ShadowProtect® with VirtualBoot™ technology. That same server, regardless of its size, can now be restored by typically 11:35 to its ExactState™ from 11:30, delivering previous unattainable levels of business continuity for all your Windows servers, including database servers such as Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, Oracle, etc. Additionally, files can be restored in seconds, and it includes automated migration capabilities for just $995 per server.

Real-Time Disaster Recovery Compliments existing tape backup products
In most smaller businesses, they quickly recognise the business benefits of disk-to-disk backups and then archival to USB drives, or offsite replication of data and the decision to migrate to StorageCraft® ShadowProtect® is quick and simple.

In larger accounts, where there is a substantial investment in existing tape technology, the decision is often not as clear cut. Our customers tell us the best methodology is to use ShadowProtect as a Real-Time Disaster Recovery technology between 8am – 6pm, for protecting data an databases every 15 minutes. Then use your existing tape technology between 8pm – 6am for offsite tape archival. As you become aware of the real-time recovery capabilities of StorageCraft ShadowProtect, you may wish to investigate the offsite replication capabilities built in to ShadowProtect ImageManager Enterprise™ for automated offsite archival of data, databases and complete servers.
