As we already know server downtime can have fatal consequences on the financial health of your organization. Just imagine how many problems you face in case of a server malfunction after a hard disk failure or some other disaster. System administrators have to reinstall the operating system from scratch with all patches and upgrades. Besides that, they have to have at their disposal all the software, registration codes, etc. This task will require considerable amount of time and often impossible to tackle at all.
Reinstallation Scenario
There is no possibility to recover the system into its initial state,
thus data loss is inevitable.
Paragon offers some definite way out of this problem. A modern backup archive uses the so-called image, a snapshot of the whole disk system (or its separate partitions). It not only includes the contents of all user-made files, but additionally contains the exact structure of directories, information about file allocation, file attributes and other related data.
Use of ready-made backup created by special software
All the data is 100 percent recovered, there is no need to carry out extra configuration.
 The present day data protection market offers several solutions as far as data backup is concerned:
- Possibility to store server backup images on external media (CD/DVDs), thus providing a high level of data protection as long as the backup media is kept secure.
- Possibility to store server backup images on a local network drive. Special server side software enables to secure and store server backup images for the entire network. For this purpose computers named backup servers are used. Such a backup server provides nearly the same level of protection as external media.
- However, should the user not have a local network and/or it is inconvenient to record data onto external media, then the server backup images can be stored in a specially secured place on the hard disk. This place is referred to as the backup capsule, which has an independent system layout (e.g. a separate hard disk partition) that will stay operable should the active file system be damaged. To avoid an accidental removing or unauthorized access of the backup data, this partition is hidden and thus cannot be mounted in the operating system.
