The greater your dependency on computers, the greater the commercial risks associated with the failure of that equipment. There are many examples of companies that simply failed to survive following severe data loss. Ignoring the need for secondary data protection is not an option.
Hard disk failure, data corruption, viruses - all these situations mean you have to locate floppy disks,CD-ROMs, software manuals, and registration numbers to reload and rebuild the system. Even adding a new peripheral, such as a new hard disk, means recreating the disaster recovery disks.
When a computer crash does occur, most people's first thought will be 'what documents and data have I lost?' For the person charged with managing the network, however, the first and biggest problem is rebuilding and reconfiguring the system. While the rest of the organization may be clamoring to get back to work, no documents can be recovered until the system is restored.
OBDR will rapidly restore or replicate a ProLiant server's operating system, software applications, and data using only a tape drive and the most recent backup cartridge. This is possible because the tape drive emulates a CD-ROM drive that allows the server to "boot from tape". Once the boot process has completed, the tape drive switches back into normal mode and proceeds with restoring data.
This patented feature is embedded in the firmware of all HP tape drives and DAT autoloaders. OBDR is quite simply the best disaster recovery product for the small to medium business.
