The Best of Both Worlds with CRC DataProtection: Offsite Data & Onsite Restorability

LAN-Speed Restore for Instant Recoverability

Overview Facilitates quick and complete data backup and restore for business continuity Provides high speed data backups and restore without the high cost of Enterprise-level WAN infrastructure Ensures that data on the local storage is used to speed the process Minimizes the amount of data that has to be recovered from CRC's offsite data vault, for quick recovery Helps all offices stay up and running in the event of an unforeseeable data loss

Local Restore is a valuable feature that allows each protected office to restore their latest data quickly at LAN speeds, without being constrained by the speed of the company’s internet connection.

During the backup process, a snapshot of the data is stored- not only in CRC’s backup data vault, but in the onsite backup appliance as well. In the majority of cases where an end-user loses data due to accidental deletion, corruption, or disaster, the user only needs to restore the latest snapshot of the data in order to resume his or her activities as quickly as possible.

When a restore operation takes place, the backup appliance examines the data that must be restored. If the data exists in the last snapshot, it is restored from the backup appliance’s local storage, rather than CRC’s data vault. Any data that is not contained in this latest snapshot is recovered from the CRC data vault instead. Keep in mind that a copy of all data, including the latest snapshot, is always stored on the offsite CRC data vault.

It is not uncommon for tens or even hundreds of gigabytes of data to be lost in a typical server malfunction. As we have seen, local restore allows offices- even those that use inexpensive broadband technologies like DSL or cable- to protect their data at CRC’s data center and restore it quickly over a Local Area Network.

The Next Step

By increasing the speed of recovery, even when low-cost WANs are used, Local Restore provides a balance, between low infrastructure costs and high service level performance.
