Disaster Recovery with Data Express
When it comes to small businesses and home computer users, data backup is typically not a top priority in everyday operation. Although recent natural disasters may have raised awareness about the reality of data vulnerability and the business impacts of serious data loss, the perceived complexity and time consumption associated with available backup processes understandably makes disaster recovery remain as a topic to avoid.
Disaster recovery is the safest way to recreate an entire set of system data, including its Operating System and all installed applications and drivers. Appropriate disaster recovery software allows data from a complete working environment to be backed up to a hard drive such that the restored new system will boot up to contain the exact data reflected by the most recent backup.
Data Express Solution:
StorCase provides a quick, convenient and accurate solution for data backup using removable hard drives. With Data Express® for Backup, a hard drive can be removed from the system and locked away and/or carried off-site for safekeeping. Data Express for Backup models each come equipped with EMC Backup software.
To create a Data Express Disaster Recovery (DR) system using EMC Backup software:
- Create a complete backup of the primary hard drive
- Create a bootable DR CD
In the event of a drive failure:
- Replace the hard drive and boot-up the system with the DR CD
- Restore the content into the newly-installed hard drive.
Depending on the size of the data set, most restores only take about an hour to complete full recovery.
