Backups are really needed as company’s most valuable assets against loss of data, are to be restored during the times of criticalities. A disaster can occur because of many situations like fatal application error, security breaches (hackers or virus), human error and hardware failure. Backup is a method used to make and move a copy of important data into another secure place so that if something goes wrong, you can copy back the same data from the backup location. But then comes the choice about where to store it – on an external hard drive, several CD’s, or a flash stick. It’s not enough just having the copy of your files on your external hard drive, which is constantly plugged into your computer. At the very least, keep your copy in a different location at home. Or if possible, keep your backup copy in an entirely different building.
Backup programs can be run automatically in a scheduled manner. You never have to remember to back up when you schedule the backup program to run each day and make an auto copy of your stuff. Backup applications like Vembu BDR remember which files have been backed up and which files have been created or modified since the last backup. You can take advantage of this situation by directing the backup program to archive only those files that were created afresh or have been modified since the last backup operation.
The All-in-one backup solution:
Vembu BDR supports backing up to an onsite location with the replica of the data stored in the vembu cloud server. Most organizations typically have a mix of specific file servers, email servers such as exchange and database servers such as SQL Server or Oracle in their data center. Its very simple and user friendly to backup all the critical data from the entire data center, with Vembu BDR application taking care of both physical servers and virtual environment servers (ESXi). The backup need to be configured initially as a full backup which is then followed by incremental and synthetic full backup. All the data transfer from client to backup server is encrypted and compressed and so it will consume lesser bandwidth in the network tunnel. The backed up data from the client can be stored in on-site storage location and its replica will be in cloud storage. Cloud storage is a model of data storage where the digital data is stored in logical pools, the physical storage spans multiple servers (and often locations), and the physical environment is typically owned and managed by a hosting company. Files stored in the cloud can be accessed at any time from any place so long as you have Internet access.
Vembu also provides online backup solutions which enables both enterprises and individuals to store their data and work files on the internet using a storage service provider, rather than storing the data locally on a physical disk, such as a hard drive or tape backup. Vembu OnlineBackup providers can enable their customers to remotely access the provider’s services using a secure client login application to backup files from the customer’s computers or data center to the online storage server using an encrypted connection. You wouldn’t need to carry around a physical storage device or use the same computer to save and retrieve your information.
