The Challenge
Businesses today use e-mail as their key (if not sole) communication method. E-mails often
contain portions of a company’s intellectual property, the loss which - even for a short period of
time can lead to serious problems. Long term loss can be a real disaster.
Protecting Microsoft’s Exchange Server is of vital importance for thousands of companies
throughout the world. Until recently, in order to meet strict recovery time objectives (RTO) that
call for fast disaster recovery and complete business continuity, administrators have been forced
to back up Exchange databases twice, first on an application level that captures all data contained
in databases to recover an entire server, and second - on a brick level for fast recovery of
individual messages and folders. This approach has clear disadvantages:
-
Increased backup window.Two passes through Exchange databases doubles the overhead
on the server
-
Wasted backup storage. Double backup of the same data equals double the amount of
backup space.
A New Solution from Paragon
To counteract this problem, Paragon Software has developed a unique technology that redefines
the traditional protection of MS Exchange by completely discarding brick-level mailbox backups
while still having the option for granular recovery.
What makes our technology work is Paragon Exchange Granular Recovery 2010 (PEGR 2010). Here’s
how it works:
*Each tab has an online video that will help you get a better idea of our product.
Developed to minimize time and effort when finding and restoring lost email items directly from
mail databases of MS Exchange, the entire process PEGR 2010 is complete in four simple steps
(including installation); the first two are accomplished with intuitive wizards, and the last two
using the familiar functionality of MS Outlook.
