Disaster Recovery is one of the most essential strategies to prevent lost data against disasters. It includes all processes and procedures that are performed in order to prevent large failures and to avoid the consequences by keeping copies of data. With a consistent strategy, users are able to recover business-critical files and applications of their IT infrastructure ensuring business continuity and minimization of data loss.
Key uses for Disaster Recovery tools:
- Business Continuity
- Protection from natural disasters
- Protection from human error
- Protection from equipment failure
- Protection from cyber-attacks and viruses
Benefits of iSCSI Disaster Recovery Tools in Open‑E Software
Fibre Channel
No access, no problem. The iSCSI and Fiber Channel technologies deny access to Open-E and the software is not able to copy data directly from the volumes. Data access is solely possible from the client system that initiates the write process. While this might appear as a drawback initially, it proves highly practical as it grants customers the flexibility to utilize any backup software of their preference, offering complete freedom of choice.
Software independence
Dedicated backup software provides extensive capabilities and features that are typically unavailable in storage operating systems. By leveraging any software of choice, users can harness distinct advantages such as deduplication, versioning, and comprehensive management tools tailored for individual volumes, entire virtual machines, or even the entire system.
VSS Hardware Provider
This capability enables automatic snapshots of volumes, initiated by the Volume Shadow Copy Service, a Microsoft Windows service. The storage system can alleviate client burdens by managing snapshot creation. As the client determines the timing of snapshot execution, data consistency is assured. Subsequently, a client-side tool can transfer the snapshot data to a secure location.
