BakBone EXTENDS NetVault DISASTER RECOVERY FOR LINUX AND SOLARIS

BakBone Software introduced VaultDR Plugin Modules (PMs), a comprehensive disaster recovery solution for Linux and Solaris SPARC.

Whether it is customer account information, financial records, operations data, or email, the life blood of any business is corporate data. This growing reliance on corporate data underscores the need for systems to be 100 percent reliable, constantly accessible, and always up-to-date. VaultDR PMs substantially reduce downtime in a disaster recovery scenario by allowing full system recovery, including the operating system, applications, system settings, disk partitioning information, and data, in hours as opposed to days. By implementing VaultDR PMs, customers can address their high availability needs by protecting their entire system from corruption, user errors, virus hits, and hardware failures.

"The delivery of VaultDR for Linux and Solaris SPARC is another great stride for BakBone, extending BakBone's disaster recovery offering with added platform and OS support," said Jet Martin, director of product management at BakBone. "Without an adequate disaster-recovery solution in place, lost data and prolonged downtime could result in lost revenue, productivity, and brand equity which can take customers years to build and only hours to destroy. With VaultDR, customers can fine tune their 'up-time' strategy, recovering from critical system failures and getting their businesses back up and running far more quickly and with fewer steps than ever before."

VaultDR PMs provide broad platform support, including Solaris SPARC, Intel X86, and Opteron, as well as multiple operating systems, including UNIX, Windows, and Linux. Both VaultDR solutions ensure that all critical system files, user data, and applications required to fully recover the system are in a "ready state" for complete backup. The VaultDR Online for Linux makes it possible for administrators to perform an "online backup," backing up a full Linux system while it remains online and active.
