Disaster Recovery Methods
The advantage BounceBack Server has over competing backup software
applications is the ability to rapidly recover from a hard drive failure or op
-
erating system corruption. A server administrator or user can simply restart
a failed server from the USB or eSATA attached storage device. All data
and applications from the last backup will be running and available. This will
enable a business to be functional again in the time it takes to restart the
server. The server administrator can then schedule a time to perform data
recovery on the failed internal system drive. The recovery tools BounceBack
offers are: Full System Recovery, QuickRestore (files and folders).
Full System Recovery:
BounceBack creates a copy of your internal
hard drive onto a direct attached storage device. With this functionality,
BounceBack offers three methods to complete a full system recovery: Drive
Swap, Rescue Disk, and Instant Server Recovery.
Drive Swap
: A server administrator can take a drive out of the
external enclosure and mount it inside the server. See the Advanced
Server Restore Technique on page 15 for servers that are running
internal RAID configuration.
