File Server Disaster Recovery

There are three types of file server disasters: 1) Oops a user deleted a file and needs it back or in a "black out" moment a storage administrator forgets to copy a path or hits the delete key by accident; 2) &!)#$ hardware failure - can't get to a folder or an entire drive; and 3) nature incident of flood, wind, storm, power, snow, mud, etc. Of course, the file server backup never fails, the file server backup is always good and easily available, and things only happen at the worst possible time.

Managing hundreds of gigabytes or terabytes is a big nightmare. Industry statistics show that over 50% of a file server contents are old and unneeded files - and that's a disaster in itself that you are backing those files. Waterford Technologies provides an affordable, easy-to-install File Server Disaster Recovery solution.

File Server Disaster Recovery

Automated Policies: File Archiver has automated policies that can free up space on your file servers to make your disaster recovery faster and easier. Files that meet your policy criteria are automatically copied to a file archive on lower cost storage where they are compressed, encrypted and stored for automatic retrieval. The original file can be left as is or be replaced by a tiny 1K shortcut link "stub" that automatically retrieves the file from the archive. It's seamless to users. Files are shrunk and deduplicated on to lower cost storage. Best practice: archive all important data for fast and easy recovery from low cost disk storage.

Instant File Recovery: If a user deletes a file or folder and needs it back, the archive copy can be recovered with just a click. If hardware fails, files and folders can be restored to a new location. Use File Archiver to keep copies of your important files encrypted and compressed where no one can delete them.
