Sync-to-Disk-Backup-to-Tape with PresSTORE

Does this sound familiar? You have more and more data each day and at the same time the pressure grows on you to deliver your products or services in always tighter deadlines? Often there is only a small window between completing one project and the next. To secure your data in such stringent conditions requires rethinking your strategies. With Synchronize and Backup, PresSTORE offers a revolutionary sync-to-disk-backup-to-tape system allowing you to considerably reduce your backup and recover times. By duplicating data near real time, PresSTORE Synchronize ensures the maximum of data availability and data security.

How does sync-to-disk-backup-to-tape work?

In the first step, PresSTORE Synchronize copies all the required data to a redundant storage system. Then PresSTORE Backup steps in to secures the data onto a medium of your choice. You can set the synchronize frequency, as well as the backup intervals individually. All the contemporary tape and library products are supported. By employing this strategy, the length of the backup window as was required for classic backup solutions becomes irrelevant. While synchronizing your data to the secondary or backup storage, PresSTORE will only look for modified files thereby maintaining a low network traffic for an optimal workflow.

Should your server break down, you can immediately set the data synchronized to your secondary storage to use. This data can be either employed directly or restored from the disk either to your desktop or to your fall-back server. Users thus have instantaneous access to their data and can immediately proceed with their tasks. The required restore time is kept low, since the data is available from the network at any time. A restore from tape becomes necessary only in a total disaster scenario, e.g. due to fire or natural disasters.

The sync-to-disk-backup-to-tape process with PresSTORE Synchronize and PresSTORE Backup ensures the maximum security and the highest possible availability of your data.
