Is your organization prepared for a loss of critical data?
Managed Backup and Recovery, through LightEdge Solutions ensures that your data is accessible to your business at all times without the capital expense and administration involved with an in-house system. Our managed storage programs offer your business an additional level of security and enhanced business continuity by replicating your critical data in our carrier-class, redundant data-center infrastructure.
At LightEdge, the planning, implementation and backup procedures are meticulously performed by our best-in-class technicians based on the specific needs of your company. After performing an initial full backup*, incremental block-level backups transmit and store only the data that has changed since the last snapshot. Because of this incremental nature, block-level backups allow more frequent data backup points than tape, and offer a very granular mechanism to complete a recovery, saving time and reducing data loss.
Backup & Recovery Options
Small and medium-sized businesses traditionally utilize tape back-up systems without understanding the risks involved. While tapes are easy and convenient to use as long-term storage, infrequent backups and split files over multiple tapes can make tapes difficult and time-consuming when trying to administer a partial recovery.
Hosted Disk-based Storage
LightEdge offers a hosted storage option in one of our secure, managed and environmentally controlled data centers. Storing the data offsite is a critical advantage in reducing the risk of your critical business information.
Disaster Recovery
For a higher level of protection, your data may be mirrored to a secondary data center, assuring that an additional data source is available in the event of a catastrophic failure in the primary facility.
Archived Storage
Tape is still an effective and economical way to meet regulatory compliance and other long-term data storage requirements. Your tapes are cataloged and archived in our secure data center to ensure their availability when you need them.
Key Advantages
Block-Level Incremental Backup
Block-Level Incremental Backup is the most efficient way to transport, store and administer data for an incremental backup. After the initial backup process, only changed blocks are transmitted to the LightEdge storage servers. Each incremental backup provides a snapshot of the system at that particular time. Recovery can be made from the last backup or any previous backup snapshots, either as a complete back-up or selective file-level backup.
Transparent Backup
Managed Backup and Recovery integrates seamlessly with your in-house network, or servers that are collocated or dedicated through LightEdge. Your production servers continue to operate normally, while Server Agents work in the background to transparently transmit data to LightEdge storage servers at regular intervals during business hours over a QoS managed connection.
Managed Recovery
When a recovery situation arises, the process is initiated and coordinated by your staff, but ultimately managed and implemented through our professional staff to ensure the safety of your data.
File, Volume and Directory Level Restore
Our unique snapshot technology allows many levels of restore. Our professional administrators can quickly and easily restore files, volumes or directories based on an incremental snapshot. Taken together, the granular restoration functionality and professional restoration management ensures faster recovery time and better business continuity.
