Online Backup - Assured Restore
Do you need an on-line remote backup service, or is it, like us, more the case that you want to be sure that when you need to restore data, you can do it quickly and reliably? Backing data up is one thing, but confidence in the ability to restore that data in the event of trouble is quite another. If you don't want to be among the one-in-two organizations who find out too late that their backup data cannot be used, then you need a service that focuses on that ability to restore - which is where the Datacenta Assured Restore service comes into its own.
Our on-line remote backup service, Assured Restore (using the acclaimed CrashPlan Pro solution), ensures that the data you entrust us with is encrypted on your server(s) before transmission to us, for compressed storage on clustered, RAID-equipped servers in our underground primary centre, and every version of every file (there's no limit to the number of versions we can hold) undergoes automated integrity checking every day, with an automatic self-healing process kicking in on the rare occasions that a problem is found. Your archives are validated, validated and validated again - that's one of the reasons we call our service "Assured Restore".
In addition to the remote storage, you also get options of both an on-line (another server on the LAN) and an off-line (removeable media) local backup service, giving you the flexibility you need for fast recovery when circumstances allow, and yet the assurance of recovery by other means should disaster strike. That's another reason why we call it Assured Restore. (In case you were wondering what would happen if disaster struck our primary data centre, we have a secondary site to which we replicate archives - belt, braces and a length of rope too...). Our engineers can advise you on the best course to take (where to restore from, what to restore, which version to use etc.), whatever the reasons behind the need for restoration. We have trialled all sorts of scenarios, because, you see, we use it for our own systems.
