FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BakBone Delivers 30-Second Application Data Recovery with New NetVault: Real-Time Data Protector
BakBone’s Newest Release Delivers Near-Zero Data Loss With 30-Second Application-Aware, Data Recovery for Exchange, SQL Server and Windows File System Data
Reading, UK — 16th September 2008 — BakBone Software® (BKBO.PK), the leading provider of heterogeneous integrated data protection solutions, now offers a real-time data protection solution that enables users to recover Exchange, SQL Server and Windows file system data in as fast as 30 seconds with near-zero data loss. NetVault®: Real-Time Data Protector™ provides granular recovery of individual mailboxes or mailbox items without performing additional brick-level backups, which reduces storage costs and vastly minimises the loss of business-critical application data.
Building on BakBone’s Integrated Data Protection (IDP) strategy, NetVault: Real-Time Data Protector significantly reduces downtime and its impact on a company’s ability to service its customers and generate revenue. Exchange servers, individual storage groups or individual files can quickly be recovered to any-point-in-time, providing near-zero data loss and significant peace of mind for users who cannot afford the gaps in protection from their traditional backup policies.
NetVault: Real-Time Data Protector also provides granular recovery of individual mailboxes or mailbox items without the need to perform additional brick-level backups. With off-site backups being an important part of the data protection plan for any business critical application, NetVault: Real-Time Data Protector’s integration with traditional backup technologies, including NetVault: Backup, gives users the confidence that the recovery data stored in the online storage is protected and stored offsite to ensure business continuity.
“Downtime and data loss aren’t just inconveniences, they can have a deep financial impact on an organisation,” said Jeff Drescher, vice president of Marketing, BakBone. “For instance, a single server crash typically results in over 25 hours of downtime equating to an almost $500,000 loss for a 500-person company. The release of NetVault: Real-Time Data Protector jumps past traditional backups – with BakBone you’re always on, continuously capturing every Exchange transaction or file system write to high-value, time-sensitive documents. For businesses, downtime and data loss are unacceptable, and with this announcement BakBone demonstrates its commitment to giving users the tools they need to protect their most important business assets.”
NetVault: Real-Time Data Protector has several advantages:
Minimises Downtime with Near-Instantaneous Application Data Recovery
• Provides 30-second application-aware recovery for Exchange, SQL Server and Windows file system data
• Recovered data is uncorrupted and completely usable by the application on first recovery, eliminating the need for multiple manual recoveries
• Virtual On-Demand Recovery (VODR) eliminates the need to wait hours or days for a complete recovery before users can continue their work
Brick-Level Recovery without Brick-Level Backups
• Users can search for e-mails that meet specific keywords, subjects, dates, or users across all mailboxes without analysing individual mailboxes
• Individual mailbox items can be restored to a PST file for further analysis for discovery or investigative purposes, extending the use of individual message recovery beyond accidental deletions
Protects Business Continuity
• Provides the ability to recover protected data to an alternate server or location across a LAN or WAN while automatically updating Active Directory and Domain Name Service (DNS) entries
• Users are back online in minutes or even seconds, even if all the data on an entire server has been lost
• Integrates with traditional backup technologies, including NetVault: Backup
According to Dennis Martin, founder and president of Demartek, “Our lab validation tests have proven that this technology is straightforward to use and that Exchange, SQL Server and Windows file system data is easy to recover from specific points in time. For organisations that cannot afford gaps in data protection, NetVault: Real-Time Data Protector offers a compelling complement to traditional backups.” Demartek focuses on industry analysis and lab validation testing for server, network, storage and security technologies for the small and medium business (SMB) environment and the large enterprise.
NetVault: Real-Time Data Protector further strengthens BakBone's data protection solutions for Windows applications by simplifying the recovery of Exchange, SQL Server and Windows file system data, enabling users to meet very aggressive recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTOs and RPOs). NetVault: Real-Time Data Protector works as a standalone solution as well as alongside NetVault: Backup and Application Plugin Modules, which offer simplified traditional backup for applications.
