Reduce significantly your RTO thanks to the Bare Metal Recovery of BlueBackUp
Until now, the full recovery of a server after a catastrophic failure could take several hours. There were only two different ways to perform this procedure:
- The manual restore, requiring several time-consuming steps
- The Ghost, convenient but requiring that the new server has exactly the same settings than the original one.
Thanks to its « Bare Metal Recovery » technology, BlueBackUp is able to quickly recover an unusable system onto similar or dissimilar hardware, or a virtual machine. It can restore both system and data in a single pass, eliminates the need for multiple backups and dramatically reduces downtimes.
