UBDR Gold Version 3.0 eliminates the need to maintain hardware spares
Bellevue, Wash. – January 30, 2006 – UltraBac
Software (www.ultrabac.com) today released UBDR Gold v3.0, bringing true dissimilar hardware restore to
market. UBDR Gold end-users will no longer need to buy and maintain identical hardware spares as part of
their disaster recovery readiness plan, which can help cut expenses. Other significant enhancements to
the company's award-winning software include expanded virtual machine restore support and Online Index based
restore capability.
UBDR Gold now offers customers the ultimate in disaster recovery flexibility with the addition of
both dissimilar hardware and full support for every type of virtual recovery. UBDR Gold v3.0 can
restore the image of a failed server or workstation to a wide variety of drives and controllers, including
SCSI, RAID, IDE, SATA, as well as PCI and EISA buses. UBDR Gold can easily restore to a machine with a
different Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and processor. This is possible even when a failed server is
a single processor and the new machine is a multiprocessor. Dissimilar hardware restores are no longer
a disaster recovery obstacle. With UBDR Gold's physical-to-physical (P2P) disaster recovery capability,
users can now replace a failed server with any spare machine that is available.
In 2005, UltraBac Software broke new ground with UBDR Gold v2.0 by providing the first Windows backup
software to offer physical-to-virtual (P2V) based disaster recoveries. Version 3.0 expands on P2V to also
include virtual-to-virtual (V2V) and virtual-to-physical (V2P) restores. With V2V and V2P, administrators
literally have every virtual disaster recovery option at their disposal. Restoring and emulating a failed
machine virtually can be executed in as little as 15 minutes.
Further expanding on its virtual machine support, UBDR Gold v3.0 also integrates seamlessly with
Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2. Users of VMware and Microsoft Virtual Server have a new and affordable
option for disaster recovery protection from either natural or man made disasters that can incapacitate
or destroy a computer facility. To restore a physical server virtually, an administrator need only
create a new target virtual environment on the host for the server to be restored. Restores can be 100
percent scripted or an administrator can boot from the universal UBDR Gold CD and run the recovery wizard.
Quick and easy restores can be performed from tape, disk, libraries, UNC path, SAN, NAS, USB/FireWire
devices, FTP, or TSM servers. No special setup or other considerations are required when recovering to
a virtual environment.
"Our latest version of UBDR Gold demonstrates our commitment to pushing the envelope in backup and
disaster recovery innovation," said Morgan Edwards, CEO and founder of UltraBac Software. "With
complete focus on backup and disaster recovery, our mission is to provide customers the best data
protection that money can buy. Our commitment to this goal is evidenced by UBDR Gold v3.0's full array
of virtual options and true dissimilar hardware restore capability, which showcase our industry leading
technology to users in the Windows environment."
Version 3.0 also supports restores from Online Indexes. This new functionality enables even quicker
restores by allowing an administrator to search backup indexes locally or remotely. When restoring from
tape or other sequential media, being able to utilize regular backup indexes will significantly
decrease the time to locate disk partitions and/or individual files for disaster recovery.
UltraBac Disaster Recovery (UBDR) Pro and Gold are sophisticated disaster recovery products that use
cutting edge, image-based technology to provide lightning fast recoveries. UBDR Pro and Gold were
specifically designed to quickly and easily restore one or more disk partitions for Windows machines
with no bootable operating system. Restoring individual files is a built-in, user enabled option. From
single server to a data center, UBDR Gold provides the fastest and most flexible technology to bring
failed servers and workstations back online in the absolute minimum of time (up to 3GB/minute restore
speed). Offered as extra cost options, advanced enterprise features unique to UBDR Gold include
backup/restore for FTP devices, Tivoli Storage Manager servers, and support for a full spectrum of
media libraries.
Pricing for UBDR Gold starts from US$995 per server.
