Protection

Reduce business operations downtime with application-native backup protection to automate point-in-time captures of structured data. Use SQL-native and Exchange-native data protection solutions to get automated, non-disruptive backups, along with high quality, application-aware protection that is simple to configure for full or incremental backups.

Native VMware backup to protect virtual machines. Using the same centralized management platform, you can reduce administrative cycles by managing VMware backup and QuickSpin services alongside other backup services in the ECHOplatform. 

Backup Hyper-V virtual environments in its entirety. Available with three fast restore options: import to Hyper-V, object-level restore, and restore from local storage in minutes to achieve fast recovery time objective (RTO).

Image-based backup enables server-level protection for applications served by physical machines. The rapid recovery from imaging lets you restore operations from local storage within minutes. With image backup, you can choose to recover from physical-to-virtual, object-level restore, or restore from local storage for fast RTO.

Recovery

Bare Metal Restore enables you and your customers to streamline server recoveries, virtually eliminating configuration errors. You can recover to similar hardware as the original system in the event of data corruption or hard drive failure or recover to a replacement machine to resolve a total system failure. Finally, you can choose Point-in-time Restore at the volume level for enhanced flexibility to resolve data corruption or viruses. 

Eliminate extended downtime and restore virtual environments fast with our local disaster recovery tool QuickSpin. You can restore virtual environment data in minutes from local storage via QuickSpin, without the need for an on-site visit or extra software.

Integrations
