UltraBac Software has joined the VMware Technology Alliance Partner Program. The partnership was initiated in response to UBDR Gold's ability to facilitate P2V, V2V, and V2P image-based backups, as well as migrate and restore to virtual and physical servers. At this month's VMworld show in San Francisco, UltraBac Software staff demonstrated the first-to-market P2V disaster recovery solution for VMware customers and prospects...   More

The Emerald Queen Casino (EQC) in Tacoma, Washington, is one of the largest gaming facilities in the area. With two gaming properties housing their own data centers, multiple restaurants, and a full-service hotel, EQC can not afford to gamble with their data. They need reliable products to ensure information is recovered quickly and easily in the event of an information issue or hardware failure. UltraBac Enterprise Edition, for file-by-file backups, and UBDR Gold, for image-based backups, fit the bill for a comprehensive backup and recovery program...   More

Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) is most often considered a supplemental layer of protection, but it should actually be a vital part of any company's disaster recovery plan. If the national average for Windows server downtime is $15,000 an hour (and this is a fairly modest sum), then this would mean that every minute of downtime equals $250. A standard bare metal disaster recovery solution requires approximately 20 minutes, as opposed to 40 minutes using file-by-file backup and restore. This results in a 20 minute savings using the BMR solution, which equates to a $5,000 dollar savings in downtime cost with its first use. With the technology available today, it is no longer acceptable to have a file-by-file backup solution as the only means of protecting data - BMR should be an integral part of every disaster recovery plan...   More

BACKUP ROTATION IS JUST A CLICK AWAY
The UltraBac BackupPath, FTP, and Tivoli devices have the ability to keep backups for as long as you want them. For example, if you wish to keep your backups to those devices for only two weeks, simply click the option to "Delete Backups Older than X Days." To specify the number of days to store backups:
  1. From the main UltraBac menu, click "Select/Storage Devices."
  2. Select the "BackupPath," "FTP," or "Tivoli" tab.
  3. Double-click on the device that you wish to have delete old backups.
  4. Check "Delete Backups Older than X Days."
  5. Specify the number of days to store the backups in the field to the right of the checkbox.
  6. Click "OK" in the "Disk Storage Device Properties" screen.
UBDR GOLD RESTORES TO SMALLER PARTITIONS
When you need to get a system up and running right away, there isn't always the time to find the perfect hard drive. UBDR Gold eliminates this issue with its ability to restore to a target partition that is as little as 60% of the original size. Combined with its ability to restore to dissimilar hardware, UBDR Gold can get a failed system back up in no time. Requirements for restoring to a smaller partition:
  • NTFS file system
  • Windows 2000, XP, or 2003
  • A target partition that is a minimum of 60% of the original partition size
