Server Backup Software - The Difference Between Your Business Recovering From Disaster Or Not

As a business owner I couldn't bare the thought of our server crashing and not having a contingency plan in place. We were recommended a product called ShadowProtect that is designed as Server Backup Software. Using this software means that we have fast and efficient disaster recovery, our data is protected and our server is back online as soon as possible.

The Shadow Protect software gives us the tools to manage the disaster within minutes. Server backup software is only a worthwhile investment if it can have you and your server up and running with the least amount of disruption to your business. Shadow protect does this by allowing you to centrally manage the backup images and restore them swiftly from a management console.

With the added bonus of ShadowProtect ImageManager, you are able to automatically consolidate back up image files. This means simplified management of backup images over a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Couple this with the automatic verification and reverification tools and your backups will be in good shape for server recovery.

Shadow Protect also offers VirtualBoot technology used for quick fail-over to a virtual server. This will also convert your software backup images to virtual machines.

Your RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is the most amount of time that your systems can be down. This means from the moment a disruption occurs to the minute your system is up again. Decreasing your RTO will be the difference between your business being functional or not. Server backup software like ShadowProtect Server help dramatically to reduce your RTO. That's where the Hardware Independent Restore (HIR) feature makes it effortless to restore to the same system and also makes system migration to new servers or virtual environments straightforward.

Running a business successfully means that you are prepared for disasters such as your systems failing. How you recover from that is the true measure of success.
