FAQ
We mount the backup image that contains the EDB and STM files on the NAS. We then have a special tool that will connect to the offline EDB and STM files and break out (make viewable) all the mailboxes. We can then either export the needed items to a .pst file or we can connect directly to the live exchange server from the tool and import the needed items. It is recommended we export to a .pst.
Yes. If the backup agent is on every instance of Windows, regardless if it is a physical or virtual machine, and we are backing each instance of windows, we can restore it to our virtual layer on the NAS. The NAS will support multiple virtual systems running simultaneously.
The data on the NAS device is encrypted using 256-bit encryption and then transferred over a 256-bit encrypted UDP tunnel to the off-site collocation facility in Baltimore. Once the data reaches the off-site facility it is also copied to a fail over server at the same collocation facility then transferred to a separate collocation facility in Phoenix. In total there are 3 copies of your data if the off-site storage option is selected.
No, the virtualization process keeps the servers system state so no additional configurations are needed. Service will continue to run like they did prior to the server failure.
Yes, the NAS will continue to perform backups.
The initial image is a complete block level copy of the server’s hard drive partitions. This provides the base from which restores are generated. The Incremental Files are the changed data during the retention period. Data is stored on the NAS appliance and can be stored offsite with retention as well.
The incremental files are stored on the NAS. If the offsite option is selected, the NAS can send the incremental files to the collocations.
Initially a complete image is copied to the NAS and replicated offsite. Each day thereafter incremental files are sent offsite at the scheduled interval setup depending on available internet bandwidth.
After the base image backup of the server completes the maximum number of incremental in a 24 hour period is 96. This configuration performs 96 incremental snapshots of the server every 15 minutes throughout the day.
You can select which partitions (or volumes) are backed-up and replicated offsite.
