What is a Disaster? Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

Anything that disrupts business continuity

Common Disasters

Uncommon (Extreme disasters)

Common DisastersMost common disasters can be overcome with a local or near-line

backup and DR plan

Equipment Failure

Operator Error

Service Pack updates

Viruses

Uncommon DisastersRequire both a near-line and offsite backup and DR plan

Theft

Disaster Recovery and Data Protection Planning

Keys to Maximize Business Continuity

Business continuity is critical for any organization to be

successful.

Your disaster recovery and data protection plan must have a high

level of reliability.

Downtime will occur – hardware & software failure, operator error.

Backup is important, but disaster recovery is key to maximize

business continuity.

What is the price of downtime in your organization?

Types of Disaster Recovery Planning Alternatives for Protecting Systems, Applications and Data

File and Folder Backup / Protection

Image / System Based Backup

File and Folder Backup and DR One Alternative for Protecting Systems, Applications and Data

Advantages

Administrator can select the specific files and folders to protect.

Multiple versions of files may be retained.

Files and folders can be quickly recovered if the system is accessible.

Both near-line and offsite options are available.

Disadvantages

The system must be rebuilt in the event of a system failure.

Depending on the media, this can be a very tedious process.

Example: Tape is an excellent compliance and archiving media, but can be

an extremely slow recovery option. For business continuity, disk-based

image backup can be a much faster and more accessible option.

Image Based Backup and DROne Alternative for Protecting Systems, Applications and Data

Advantages

The entire volume can be backed up, including OS, Settings, Applications and

Data.

Recovery can occur based on an exact point in time – before business

continuity was disrupted.

Files and folders can be recovered in the event of a ‘common’ disaster.

Disk media is typically used, which is faster and more reliable than tape.

Recovery options are available to same system, dissimilar hardware or virtual

environments.

Image Based Backup and DROne Alternative for Protecting Systems, Applications and Data

Disadvantages

The initial backup (base) can be large, making it more difficult to transport off-

site.

Incremental backups can be very fast, but differential images may be more time

consuming and resource intensive.

No DR and Data Protection service is complete if it hasn’t been tested!

Fire Drill Example

Things can go wrong – make sure you know what they are.

Have you tested your current DR process?

Your strategy needs to incorporate options for portability so that you can

test on non-production systems.

Verification! Your DR and data protection plan must address verification

so that you know that your backups are reliable.

It’s About the RecoveryKeys to Maximize Business Continuity

Incorporate both near-line and off-site backup

Addresses both common and extreme disasters.

Provides a level of redundancy that ensures data is protected.

Best Practices for Backup and Disaster Recovery

Flexibility is Mandatory

Objective #1 is the fastest DR possible in order to ensure business

continuity.

Recovery must be possible in both common and extreme disasters.

Full system recovery (operating system, applications, settings and

data) is a must.

Critical data (file and folder) recovery is convenient in the event of

common disasters.

You must be able to recover to the available hardware resources that

you have on-hand.

ShadowProtect ImageManager HeadStart Restore How Does It Work?

ShadowProtect HeadStart Restore

creates a system restore job that

tracks backup changes in a staged

virtual machine.

The system restore job is updated

with incremental changes throughout the

day.

In the event of a disaster, the restore

job is finalized, the virtual machine is

prepared with ShadowProtect HIR

and the server is rebooted.

Recovery is complete in minutes rather

than hours or days – even with terabytes

of data on your server.

ShadowProtect Hardware Independent Restore How Does It Work?

ShadowProtect provides rapid full bare

metal recovery through a bootable

recovery CD.

Hardware Independent Restore (HIR)

uses a library of drivers on the recovery

CD to detect new hardware.

If drivers are not found on the recovery

CD, they can be added as part of the

HIR process.

HIR allows you to rapidly recover to the

same system, dissimilar hardware or to

and from virtual environments.
