Recovery Testing and Schrödinger's Backup

‘Schrödinger’s backup’ is a concept we should all be more familiar with, but for those that haven’t heard this phrase yet, Schrödinger’s backup refers to the idea that “The condition of any backup is unknown until a restore is attempted.”  It is clear that recoverable backups are essential, but surprising how rarely they are tested.

Cristie Software is currently trialling Recovery Simulator, an add-on for our TBMR product focusing on flexible backup testing and simulation scheduling. With RS Cristie Software can make annual DR and Continuity testing faster, smarter and reliable.

Do you or your customers need BMR provisioning for EMC NetWorker?

Need an alternative solution to the end-of-life HomeBase for Bare Machine Recovery?

Cristie Software solutions have been supporting customers for over 10 years with Bare Machine Recovery (BMR) and Migration software. The solution NBMR (BMR for NetWorker) is exclusively used with EMC's NetWorker (formally Legato NetWorker). NBMR works in a different way to other BMR software available in the marketplace, with its unique ability to recover directly from NetWorker without requiring any additional backup to be performed, therefore consumes no additional storage or network bandwidth.

NBMR in the event of a server failure, will recover the operating system and applications direct from the NetWorker backup, creating an identical machine. NBMR provides NetWorker users who would like a heterogeneous solution to support all their Windows Platforms (2000/XP through to 2008/2008 R2) as well as their Linux, Solaris and AIX machines, with the extended ability to recover to dissimilar hardware (both virtual or physical machines).

Advantages of using NBMR:

• no additional storage needed
• no extra bandwidth required for backups
• identical machine state recovered
• multi-platform solution - supports Windows, Linux, AIX and Solaris operating machines
• dissimilar hardware supported
• can recover to physical and/or virtual machines
• backups and restores performed by NetWorker, retaining the features and advantages of that software
• multiple servers can be recovered simultaneously
• designed to maximise speed, flexibility and simplicity of use
• rebuild a server OS in under ten minutes
• no separate backup software to install, schedule and administer

NBMR is re-sold globally by Cristie Software's channel partners as their recommended BMR solution for NetWorker. Email sales@cristie.com to find your nearest reseller.
