Ensure business continuity through
reliable, automatic data protection and disaster recovery.
GuardTower™ Backup and Disaster Recovery (BUDR) provides real-time
automated disk backup, disk imaging, file level backup and bare metal
restore for Windows servers and workstations. Unlike conventional
file-based only products, GuardTower™ BUDR creates an image of the entire
system state – including operating system, business applications, user
settings, drivers and data – giving administrators the framework to
completely rebuild a downed system in less than an hour.
The solution is part of the GuardTower™ IT Support Service, giving us the
ability to deploy, configure, manage, monitor, secure, back up and
restore distributed systems from a single management console.
GuardTower™ BUDR provides:
- Fully-automated real-time backup
- Fully-automated off-site replication
- Fast and easy recoveries
Efficient backup cycles
- Full or incremental backups can be scheduled regularly or on demand
through an intuitive management console. Central management allows
administrators to monitor the entire backup process from a single
Web-based interface console (regardless of the physical location of each
system) enabling administra tors to log into the solution from anywhere
with an Internet connection, including from home overnight or during the
weekend.
- Incremental backups are conducted efficiently on reliable disk media,
shortening the backup cycle dramatically. The efficient process has a
low footprint, reducing the impact it has on systems performance.
- Automatic discovery technology ensures that all systems on the network
are reliably backed up, leaving no systems and no data unprotected.
- BUDR works in the background without requiring a system shutdown or
interruption to end users, making sure that all servers and workstations
are always available.
Complete restores in under one hour
- Whether you need to recover a single file, restore a crashed
workstation or completely restore a system from bare metal in the event
of a disaster, GuardTower™ BUDR provides administrators with the most
comprehensive, reliable and cost-effective server and workstation
protection.
- Through point-in-time imaging, BUDR can restore any system to its
latest state, including operating system, business applications, data
and user settings.
- Systems can be completely restored in less than one hour, dramatically
minimizing downtime and helping to get employees back up and running
quickly.
Fully Automated Real-Time Backup - GuardTower™ BUDR
takes the backup responsibility out of the hands of the end user and
into the hands of a trained IT professional, making sure that backups
are done regularly and reliably. The administrator can manage the entire
process from a central location, eliminating the need to physically
visit each backed up system. He can schedule full and incremental
backups or conduct them on demand through the intuitive interface. All
processes are automated and occur when scheduled.
Complete Disk Imaging - GuardTower™ BUDR can conduct
volume-level, folder-level or file-level backups with multiple
partitions in place for easy organization and robust security. Full and
incremental images provide granular restoration points for point-in-time
recoveries and reduced file-size transfer for quicker and more efficient
off-site replication. The solution ensures complete data protection for
all programs, settings, configuration, system and user data.
Fully Automated Off-Site Replication - Once a backup is
created, replication technology ensures that the images are
automatically migrated to a safe and secure off-site facility, separated
geographically from the main data center. In case of a major data center
loss – such as a flood, fire or natural disaster – the backup images can
be replicated to replacement equipment quickly to ensure that the
business can get back up and running as fast as possible.
The process is completely automated, eliminating the need for an
administrator or member of the business staff to remember to take media
home or drop them off at a storage facility.
Fast and Easy Recovery - GuardTower™ BUDR allows for
fast, efficient recoveries, giving companies the ability to bounce back
more quickly following a major event resulting in data loss. The
solution enables point-in-time recoveries to the last backup, making
sure systems are up to date with the latest settings and data set.
Administrators can completely restore a system from the ground up in
less than an hour through an intuitive bare metal restore process. For
more granular recoveries, administrators can simply drag and drop
selected files and folders or remotely mount drive volumes.
Universal Restores - In a pinch, companies are not
always able to find similar replacement equipment. GuardTower BUDR
allows systems to be restored to dissimilar hardware or even virtual
machines, eliminating the procurement and interoperability factors when
trying to get the business back up and running quickly.
Flexible Configuration and Control - GuardTower™ BUDR
integrates seamlessly with the GuardTower™ systems management framework,
allowing IT administrators to completely manage, monitor, secure and
protect systems from a singleWeb-based management console. Systems can
be configured globally by group (policies can be customized to include
location, business unit, OS type, brand, etc.) or locally by individual
servers or workstations. Backups can be completely automated and left
unattended to recover lost files within minutes.
The GuardTower™ client is deployed and updated automatically and
remotely, eliminating the need to travel to branch offices or across a
campus environment. Unlike other data protection solutions, no
additional hardware or software is required.
GuardTower™ BUDR completely automates the backup process, allowing
administrators to schedule full and incremental backups of selected
volumes, folders or files. |
