Point-in-Time Recovery - File Replication

Replication Rollback Capabilities

Overview

RepliWeb's Deployment Suite - RDS is now available with rapid, effortless Rollback functionality for Disaster Recovery and Content Deployment fault back. This new feature provides Administrators with a means to undo multiple replications on a target system, to a user-specified 'point-in-time'. RDS' Rollback is employed by 'recording' all replication related changes on an assigned target system. Recording occurs prior to any propagation of changes to the target system. Tracked changes to files and directories include creation, deletion, modification, ownership and permissions.

Benefits

• Provides reliable replication and synchronization, with enhanced point-in-time recovery technology, offering innovative solution for backup and recovery.
• Can be configured to keep a specified amount of data, ensuring cleanup of obsolete data and minimize storage space usage, while maintaining enough backup capabilities.
• Maintains the minimum data necessary to successfully recover all changed data at a later time, thus speeding recording phase and minimizing storage requirements.
• Data can be easily recovered to any point in time, minimizing the time required to restore data from a tape-backup.
• Enables Users to specify a time relative to the targets (e.g. 8 hours ago) and systematically undo the effects of all scheduled changes that were replicated. The use of relative time as opposed to absolute time (i.e. DD/MM/YY HH:MM) eliminates the need to account for target systems across different time zones, thereby reducing the complexity of a rollback for the system administrator.
• Recording can be defined to take place locally on each target system, or on a network-wide file server defined through a UNC share-point (e.g. \\nasstorage\rds_recording) - effectively providing unattended and efficient tape-less backup and restoration.
• Highly cost effective WAN disaster recovery. Administered from any location through its web-based UI, recovery of data occurs in minutes or hours rather than days. Its scheduled replication keeps data up-to-date on the backup server, and its Rollback functionality allows point-in-time data recovery.
• Publishing errors can be handled immediately to recover to the previous state until new data is ready.
