Local Backup & Recovery

Many companies still use traditional tape based backup solutions. Many of these are run using schedules through backup software and still require human intervention for tapes to be changed daily. Most tape based backup solutions backup overnight and therefore your data is not backed up during the business day. If someone simply forgets to change the tape the backup fails and the system will not have backed up the previous day’s work. It also is likely to run its next backup the following evening so two days worth of data is at risk from being lost.

The humble tape is not regarded as a reliable or guaranteed backup medium. They are not sealed and can suffer from the affects of dirt, dust and foreign bodies. They are also not that robust and can easily be damaged after being dropped. As with all tape media’s they are also susceptible to the effects of magnetic interference and can data can be wiped in an instant just by being placed close to strong magnetic fields. Lastly they naturally wear and the tape can stretch. Manufacturer’s suggest to replace tapes that are used daily every year to keep your system as reliable as it can be. Therefore using tape based backup systems can work out to be an expensive backup system. This doesn’t even include the cost of purchasing the tape drive, backup software or any installation costs. Let alone the time spent for someone to check backups are working and to change tapes.

The revolutionary ARCA from Rock Internet will provide you with a fully managed, fully automated and reliable local backup solution that schedules backups from every 15 minutes, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It happens automatically without the need for any human intervention so no need to change a tape every again! Backups taken by the ARCA are taken at the block level. This is below the file and folder level therefore is much quicker. It is also more reliable with the added protection against corrupted open files or databases that block level replication provides. After the initial full backup, all future backups are incremental. An incremental chain is then created and only the changes are backed up, reducing backup windows.

Your SQL, SharePoint and AD databases are backed up without any additional agents. They can also be restored quickly from any one of the point-in-time snapshots. The ARCA also allows for easy document recovery of SharePoint files.

All backup image files can be encrypted up to 256-bit AES encryption. The ARCA meets the RPO standards of higher priced continuity solutions by storing 48 hours of backups at 15-minute intervals, 14 daily backups, 5 weekly backups and 30 Day backups forever!

Email has become the lifeblood of the business world. With the ARCA from Rock Internet, perform mailbox and message restorations faster than ever while keeping messages flowing throughout your company.
