What is ShadowProtect Server, and who should use it?
StorageCraft® ShadowProtect® Server software provides enterprise-level backup and disaster recovery, data protection, and managed system migration for Windows servers. Whether you oversee an IT department at a company or offer IT services to multiple business clients, the ShadowProtect Server software enables administrator to get servers back online as quickly as possible and avoid business disruption.
ShadowProtect Server software creates sector-level backup images of Windows server disk drives. A sector-level backup image is a point-in-time representation of disk drive and therefore includes not just data but also the operating system, applications, services, and configuration settings. Because backup image contains everything on server, when need to recover its drive, it can do so in minutes rather than hours or days.
ShadowProtect Server helps to meet company’s recovery objectives where Servers are crucial to organization’s everyday operations.
Should a server die, how would that impact a business?
How much money could be lost in revenue and productivity per hour that the server isn’t functioning?
Recovery time objective (RTO) is a calculation of the maximum allowable downtime after which the consequences of being down are unacceptable. Reduce the gap between RTO and the recovery time actual (RTA, the time it actually takes an IT team to get servers functioning), will helps company safe money.
ShadowProtect Server software features flexible recovery options to help meet (or beat) RTO by reducing the time that systems and data are offline.
ShadowProtect lets administrator:
-Rapidly access individual data files and folders
-Restore to the same or different hardware or a virtual environment in a matter of minutes
-Boot a backup image as a virtual machine (VM) for a quick, temporary fix ShadowProtect Server software can also help a business’s recovery point objective (RPO, the maximum amount of data over time that might be lost).
How much data can a company afford to lose (or afford to re-enter)? Eight hours’ worth of data? Two hours’ worth? Even less?
You can schedule ShadowProtect Server to continually take incremental backup images (these images record just the changes to the drive since the last backup image). You can schedule incremental backup images to happen as often as every 15 minutes, so that your company is never at risk of losing more than a few minutes of data.
