WHAT IS IMAGE-BASED DISASTER RECOVERY?

UltraBac's disaster recovery technology (UBDR Pro) is based on scheduled snapshots of one or more disk partitions. The snapshot is an exact static mirror image of the partition (frozen at that time), which guarantees a good backup even for files that are open and in use. This technology guarantees restoring a failed machine using the absolute minimum time and effort. Image technology is most often used for protecting operating system partitions so that they can be restored rapidly after becoming unbootable during the course of normal operations. UBDR Pro can operate stand-alone or complement UltraBac's standard file-by-file backup capability by backing up to the same media during a backup session.

Image technology is fast because it does direct reads on a disk, bypassing the file system and minimizing overhead. Empty space, work files, and hybernation files that don't need to be restored are skipped and software compression further reduces storage space requirements.

Images can be saved to local or remote tape devices or to any network UNC path. You can protect EVERY server in your network, with or without a tape drive. If a protected machine fails, you can boot from a universal CD and restore a 4GB system partition in under 15 minutes!

UBDR Pro is a form of insurance that protects servers and workstations against the worst-case scenario -- a failure where the machine won't boot. Image technology makes restoring the system a snap, whether the failure is due to registry corruption, accidental file deletions, and/or file corruption. Just insert the boot CD and press the power button. No advance setup or configuration is required.

Ensure the safety and integrity of your data with a total solution that combines UltraBac's comprehensive file-by-file backup software with UBDR Pro's Image-based Disaster Recovery.
