Continuous Data Protection

Are you concerned about your ability to recover from a server crash, data deletion or complete disaster? Do you still rely on tape backup as your only means of recovery? How long do you think it will take for you to recover with a Tape backup solution? We can protect your valuable informational assets and keep downtime to a minimum.

Vermont’s comprehensive Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) appliance solution  for Windows 2003, Windows 2008 and Windows Small Business servers is a reasonably priced, all-encompassing solution for small-to-midsize businesses provides:

  • Very frequent backups (as frequent as every 15 minutes) with an onsite BDR Appliance
  • Optional off-site data storage at highly rated data centers
  • The ability to restore downed servers in less than 10 minutes on-site!
  • In the case of a building wide disaster or event we can re-boot your system on our backup server, and get you access to it, within hours
  • Advanced restoration options (file- and folder-levels) with Exchange message and mailbox recovery
  • Bare-metal restorations to dissimilar hardware
  • Low cost

With Vermont as your teammate in Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery solutions, we’ll ensure that you recover quickly and effectively from a Disaster.

BDR Appliance vs. Tape

Though tape backup is common, it’s far from being an ideal BDR solution. Analysts have said that over half of tape backups fail, so chances are that if you need to restore from tape, you’ll be out of luck. But assuming all goes well with tape backup, how does it compare with the BDR (a.k.a NAS) appliance?

What Happens If My Server Crashes?

For instance, let’s say your e-mail server goes down. What happens next? As the appliance takes snapshots frequently, administrators can choose a point in time shortly before the problem occurred to go back to. With just a few clicks of the mouse, this appliance allows you to activate it as a virtual server to keep business processes up and running. We do this while we diagnose the problem and plan a course of action for the down email server.

In the event of a catastrophic server failure, our business continuity solution also includes a boot CD that allows us to perform a bare metal restore on to new hardware in a fraction of the time of a typical server rebuild.

Recovery after a Catastrophe

If a disaster results in you losing your entire office – servers and on-site BDR included – we will deliver to you a newly imaged BDR with the most current backup (normally the last daily that was done), to be delivered to a location of your choice.  Multiple servers can then be virtualized on one BDR even as the BDR continues to perform backups of other servers.

When the BDR arrives, all we need to do is plug it in and you’re up and running. This will then let you get a new server ordered, in place and do a restore from the BDR to the new server. You then have the new BDR for the ongoing backups when you move forward.

Off-Site Storage Facility

For additional protection in the event of a complete disaster, data can be securely transferred to an off-site co-location facility on a daily basis. They provide:

  • Backup images stored at the data centers on a Storage Area Network (SAN) at the primary facility
  • Network Connectivity provided by multiple providers with automatic failover capabilities
  • Full physical security at each facility including security cameras and key card access
  • Network is secured with high-end redundant, automatic failover firewalls
  • Fire suppression and environmental control provided
  • Automatic back-up power provided with on-site generators
