Smallest Image size/reduction in ActiveImage Protector

InLine Data Deduplication Compression feature dramatically reduces backup data size

Even in case of high-capacity backups, our "InLine Data Deduplication Compression" feature helps reduction of backup data size to approximately 20% of that of our competitors' backup solutions.

Incremental Backups complete backups in short time

Once the whole system is backed up at first instance, only increments can be backed up from the next time onward, saving file size and time in the process. Incremental backup can be performed by modifying the profile.

Only necessary files or folders can be restored (image mount feature)

Individual files/folders can be restored by simple drag and drop.

Operational Example for Linux Edition designed for Linux servers Operational Example in Physical-to-Virtual Migration (PtoV) Backup/restoration on Linux servers can be performed via GUI just as in Windows servers. Files/Folders can be individually restored as well.

Applicable Product: ActiveImage Protector Virtual EditionLicense: Given to a physical machine, and can be used for unlimited number of virtual machines and OS types.

Linux Server

IT Pro Edition performs backups on server in operation without having to install any appli-cations or drivers on the server.

By using Physical-to-Virtual (PtoV) conversion feature, virtualization can be easily accom-plished by converting image file and HDD into virtual disk format and connecting it to a virtual machine.

entFor IT Specialists

We endeavor to develop and continuously improve ideal backup software prod-ucts backed with our years of experience of handling imaging products. Your feedbacks are conveyed directly to our development team, and intern full support is given from the developers' side.

Developed in-house with assured support!!

We don't have an in-house IT administrator, and backups on servers and client PCsPCare not regularly performed.

While importance of making backups of servers and client PCs is well-acknowledged, we do not perform it since there is no IT administrator in our company. That is a cause of worries.

ActiveImage Protector can make back-ups of OS, data, applications, settings on server's HDD as a whole. When external HDD or NAS is specified as target, data is protected even when internal HDD fails. Recovery can be made simply by returning the whole image. Simple and fast! Recovery can also be made to another server or even to virtual machine.

Hardware failure on server or data loss due to theft of PC

Data has been lost due to hardware failure on server/PC itself or its HDD, or because laptop PC was stolen!

Data loss due to human error

A user has mistakenly deleted or overwritten data.

Data loss due to virus infection or cracking

Data has been modified due to computer virus, or program and data have been sabotaged by cracker!

Data loss due to natural disaster/fire

Unforeseen situation such as earthquake, tsunami, typhoon, flood, tornado, and fire has occurred and data on server/PC has been lost. At the same time, the storage installed on the same site or in the same area has been lost!

Solved!!

ActiveImage Protector has replica-tion feature which enables copying data to a remote location. When a disaster strikes, data is protected if it is copied to a remote location.

Migration to virtual environment by server virtualization

Virtualization of servers is rapidly gaining popularity with cost reduction, energy efficiency, footprint reduction and improvement in operational efficiency in mind. Our management has decided to virtualize our IT operation, but I don't know where to start...

Backup size has increased resulting in much backup time

Business data used in company is increasing all the time.Usual files used in applications such as documents, images, movies as well as business databases, and in case of virtual environment, virtual disks on multiple machines... these all add up to make occupy large portion of storage. The biggest problems server administrators face are how to save storage capacity and time spent for performing backups!

Protector ActiveImage has physical-to-virtual conversion feature. Virtual-ization can be easily accomplished by converting image file or physical disk backed up into virtual disk.

ActiveImage Protector has InLine Data Deduplication feature which reduces the size of large data down to 50% of the original. Backup time is also shorter than competitors.

ActiveImage Protector can be throughly operated through the wizard and does not required specialized engineer. Additionally, Scheduled Backup feature enables automatic backups.
