How is Recover IT disaster recovery different to data backup?

Data backup is vital to any organisation but it is not ideal for speedy disaster recovery. Here are some key examples of how Recover IT is different:

1. Tape Backup is just data – Recover IT is an exact representation of your entire Server
With traditional tape backup, you simply copy raw data to tape. With Recover IT you get an absolute duplicate of your server at any point in time.

2. Tape backup takes hours – Recover IT takes minutes
Tape backup copies to tape every time it’s run, and therefore takes hours each day. Recover IT only copies the changes on the server since the last backup and can therefore be run multiple times each day, even while enterprise applications such as databases are running! Motherboard has an offsite secure hosting environment for your server, giving you additional peace of mind.

3. With Tape backup disaster recovery takes days – Recover IT takes minutes.
Recovering from a complete server failure from tape requires sourcing a server, installing all of the software, sourcing the drivers, reloading the tape backup data etc. With Recover IT we keep a duplicate server that is an exact representation of your entire network. In the event of server failure this server is rushed to your location and swapped out for the failed server
