For an additional level of protection, automatically send your backup images to an off-site location with the replication feature of ShadowProtect ImageManager Enterprise. Once replication is configured, backup images may be sent to one or multiple locations automatically. In the event of a catastrophic failure, you're able to get your systems online quickly. This features also allows you to save backups to an off–site location for compliancy and archival requirements.

ShadowProtect ImageManager also provides notification tools so you always know the status of your backup jobs and backup images. Set email and SMTP configurations to track backup job success and failure automatically.

ShadowProtect ImageManager provides the following benefits:

HeadStart Restore (HSR)– ShadowProtect® ImageManager™ includes revolutionary HeadStart Restore® technology, allowing you to dramatically shrink the time needed for system recovery. Create a restore job, and your point–in–time backup images are automatically recovered as a virtual machine. In the event of system failure, simply finalize the recovery, and boot the system to a .VHD or .VMDK file for near-instantaneous system recovery.

Replication – Duplicate your point–in–time backup images to a local drive, network drive or to an off–site location. Save your backup images locally for rapid disaster recovery. Replicate backup image files to an off-site location for archival purposes or in the event of a catastrophe.

Consolidation – Automatically consolidate backup image files with ShadowProtect® ImageManager™. This minimizes backup storage consumption and streamlines backup image management by providing consolidated daily, weekly and monthly backups.

Verification– ShadowProtect® ImageManager™ also verifies and re–verifies backup image chains to ensure that your backup images are in a known good state for fast and reliable recovery should a disaster occur.

Notification   Track the status of backup jobs through the notification tools in ShadowProtect ImageManager Enterprise. This features allows you to set e-mail and SMTP configurations so you can be notified of backup job success and failure automatically.
