Next-Generation Backup and Recovery Tapes still work but problems persist: tapes fail transportation of tapes to/from offsite storage is slow daily mirrored data images lose intra-day changes recovery process for entire server is slow recovery process for individual files is even slower hardware, media and infrastructure are expensive solution is not scalable still takes too much IT staff-time Isn’t there a better way?

500+ customers servers 172 terabytes of recoverable data images 1.2 million automated online backups Tens of thousands of successful recoveries Founded in 1989

Solution Architecture How it Works Supported Operating Systems

EVault’s Electronic Vaulting Process Backing Up EVault’s software agent: 1.installs on each server to be protected 2.automatically “wakes up” during off-peak hours 3.retrieves daily block-level file changes from the server 4.compresses and encrypts those changes, then 5.transfers them over IP to a secure data center Recovery Options: 1.individual files or entire data image 2.via IP directly to affected server 3.save data image to tape, then hand-deliver

EVault Saves Time Installs in minutes Backups are safely stored offsite immediately no lag-time shipping backup tapes offsite for storage delta changes and new files are transmitted automatically to secure, high availability data centers Lost data is rapidly restored no need to retrieve tapes from storage, scan, and upload data to conduct a simple file restore single files, directory or an entire server can be recovered at the push of a button
