Dedicated UltraVault™ Managed Backup Server

Melbourne’s UltraVault™ Managed Backup is an automated offsite Continuous Data Protection (CDP) solution that runs on both Linux and Windows servers.

Offering both continuous data protection and bare metal restore abilities, UltraVault™ is a true data protection offering, not just a backup product.  UltraVault™ is ideal for the administrator looking for automation capabilities beyond our standard offsite NAS offering.

What Powers UltraVault™?

UltraVault™ is based on R1Soft’s CDP product (more information at www.r1soft.com).  It runs across our own private fibre network, to our offsite disaster recovery (DR) facility.  Your data is backed up to our highly resilient Vault servers, which have fast RAID50 storage.

Private Vault servers are available upon request.

Key Benefits of UltraVault™ Backup

Dedicated Server

Dell Server setup and installed with R1Soft CDP Server Enterprise Edition that you get full root access.

Bare-Metal Disaster Recovery

Bare-Metal Disaster Recovery: Restore servers directly from disk-based backup. Unlike traditional backup software, there is NO need to first partition your drive and install the operating system.

High Performance

Sector based backups increase throughput and reduce overhead. Servers can be fully operational with minimal performance impact during backups.  Backups can usually be performed at anytime, even on busy servers.

Small Backup Windows

Only changed disk sectors are copied between backups.  Incremental backups can now be completed in minutes.

Open File Backups

UltraVault™ is a total solution including built-in support for backing up open files.  NO 3rd party software is required.

Snapshots

Our technology provides consistent point-in-time system-wide backup images.

Near Continuous Data Protection

During normal host operation, the UltraVault™ keeps a journal of disk changes. Incremental backups know what sectors on the disk have changed before the backup operation even starts. This eliminates the need for file-by-file or block-by-block comparisons every backup.

Remote Administration

Software can be completely controlled off-site using a web-based interface.

Compression

Incremental sector based backups ignore unused portions of the disk and copy only the disk sectors that have changed since the last backup. This when used with traditional compression, reduces backup storage by as much as 90% when compared to a traditional system wide, file-by-file backup.

End-to-end strong encryption

Data is continuously encrypted while in storage and during network transmission using RSA keys. Decryption during a restore is only possible when the encryption key holder enters their pass phrase.

Data Integrity

During backup and restore data is verified using MD5 checksums.
