Frequently Asked Questions about Server Disaster Recovery

1) What is Server Disaster Recovery?

Server Disaster Recovery is a cost effective way to ensure the continuous running of your business, if and when your business Server is out of action, for whatever reason.

The service creates and stores an up-to-date mirror image of your Server (using a process called virtualisation) that can be used in the event of a disaster.

2) Why do I need Server Disaster Recovery?

For many businesses, any downtime for their business Server can cause major disruption - orders can't be fulfilled, invoices can't be sent out etc.

Downtime can be caused by various issues, from hardware failure to fire. Our Server Disaster Recovery service is designed to protect against all types of downtime by not only keeping a mirror image of your Server on-site (ready for quick access), but also by keeping a copy off-site in case of a more major disaster.

3) Is it expensive?

The service is priced on the amount of storage space the mirror image of your Server uses. Further information about how much it costs can be found on our Pricing page.

4) Is it secure?

Of course. The recovery Server that is installed on your network encrypts the mirror image of your Server before it leaves your network. It stays this way when it reaches our Server.
