Software offers data protection and disaster recovery.

Press Release Summary:



Designed to help organizations meet business continuity requirements, Backup Express provides bare metal recovery in minutes, including operating systems, settings, and applications software. Program can deliver near-instant read/write access to SQL, Exchange, and Oracle applications at any chosen recovery point. Instead of using file-level incrementals, Backup Express Block Level Incremental technology identifies and copies only changed blocks, minimizing storage, CPU, and bandwidth used.



Original Press Release:



New Release of Syncsort Backup Express Offers End-to-End Data Protection and Disaster Recovery Solution



WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Sept. 26 /-- Syncsort's new release of Backup Express offers unprecedented data protection, disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities. "Data protection is about much more than backup - companies today need to know that they can recover from a failure right away and continue to do business. Syncsort delivers a high-value end- to-end solution to ensure that they will be able to meet stringent SLA s (service level agreements)," comments Dan Regan, senior vice president of Syncsort.

Recovery in minutes for both data and applications
Backup Express near-CDP technology provides recovery in minutes to a choice of many recovery points in time - for both data and applications, including bare metal recovery and SQL, Exchange and Oracle application recovery. Syncsort's robust enterprise protection solution supplies three critical capabilities to create a unique solution:
-- Bare metal recovery in minutes, including the operating system (OS), settings and applications software - without the need for special disaster recovery backups. This allows an enterprise to be up and running with little or no down-time after a crash or data loss.
-- Near-instant read/write access to SQL, Exchange, and Oracle applications - including mailboxes and tables - at any chosen recovery point, so that business can go on as usual.
-- Fast data recovery and application access from virtual-volume images on disk storage - regardless of kind: NetApp, EMC, HP, Data Domain, even low-cost generic disks. Using existing disk infrastructure maximizes ROI on storage investments.

Syncsort not only offers a disk-to-disk (D2D) solution but also disk-to- disk-to-tape (D2D2T) for archiving to tape, as well as automated failover to tape in the event of a recovery interruption.

Meet Tight RTOs and RPOs with minimal system impact
Backup Express Block Level Incremental (BLI) technology enables enterprises to meet stringent RTOs and RPOs for reliable business continuity planning. Instead of using file-level incrementals, Backup Express BLI identifies and copies only the changed blocks, the smallest level of granularity within the files, minimizing storage, CPU and bandwidth used. Unlike other block-level incremental technologies, Backup Express BLI accesses the blocks directly, bypassing the file system, further reducing CPU and application server impact. Thus snapshots can occur more frequently, yielding more recent RPOs.

Changed blocks are stored using advanced technology that creates a virtual-volume image for every point-in-time snapshot. This virtual image can then be mounted as a read-writable LUN in only minutes and made available to the application for a full recovery. Backup Express high-speed recovery utilizes the same regularly-scheduled BLI snapshots - whether for disaster recovery, remote office protection, near-instant access to database applications, Oracle database cloning, or file restores.

About Backup Express
Syncsort Backup Express is a high-value enterprise data protection solution that enables organizations to dependably meet their disaster recovery and business continuity requirements. Its unique capabilities -- including bare metal recovery in minutes; disk-to-disk backup with archiving to tape; near-instant access to SQL, Exchange, and Oracle images; and easy recovery to any one of multiple points in time -- are fully integrated with a robust enterprise data protection system. The system is easily managed from a single interface and catalog for centralized control of both disk-based and traditional tape-based data protection strategies across heterogeneous operating systems.
