Disaster Recovery


Ask yourself these questions…

  • How often will I test & update my network disaster recovery plan?
  • Who will I call when my network disaster hits?
  • How will I recover my data?
  • How long should I expect to be down?
  • Will I be able to help my existing clients/customers during the recovery?
  • How much will it cost me to recover?
  • who is responsible for my data backups?
  • Are my backups being stored in a safe location?
  • What is a reasonable acceptance of lost data?
  • See Step 1!


Statistics show that on average, over 40% of businesses that do not have a Disaster Recovery Plan go out of business after a major loss like a fire, a break-in, a storm, or sabotage.

A Good Plan Increases Your Chances of Recovery

The Technology At Work To Keep Your Systems Working

Our NAS device can be configured to backup multiple Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 servers by partition or by logical drives. There are no file or folder-level exclusions, because a snapshot of the entire partition is taken at the block level on the hard drive. Also, database applications such as Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server transfer data in blocks without having to worry if files are open or if they are in use. Key Components Of The Device’s Technology Are:

  • Base Image -
  • Remote Storage and Base Remote Backup Image Creation –
  • Incremental –
  • Incremental Forever Methodology –
  • Synthetic Incremental –
  • Recovery Options –
  • Virtualization (Physical to Virtual) Standby Server Functionality
  • Bare Metal Restore (Virtual to Physical) –
  • On-site and Off-site Solution with Multiple Restore Points –


Everything comes together in our NAS device to produce 15-minute incremental snapshots that safely reside within the device and are ready to be used to restore a file, a file folder, an email, or a database… all within five minutes.
