Recovery Director

QiNetix RecoveryDirector amplifies the power of unification. By combining backup and snapshot management into a single, straightforward workflow, you can easily manage multiple point-in-time snapshots side by side with your backup sets. Whether your goal is to improve application availability, performance or scalability, QiNetix RecoveryDirector lets you to take your data protection strategy to the next level.

Delivers Unified Management and Administration
QiNetix brings your multilayered data protection strategies under a single unified console. RecoveryDirector enhances data protection reliability by automatically sequencing your backup and snapshot operations. This reduces resource utilization and eliminates duplicate operations and conflicts for system resources. A single CommCell browser lets you browse, manage and age off of both snapshots and backup sets as a single comprehensive data protection strategy.

Expands Your Data Protection Options with Snapshots: RecoveryDirector unites a comprehensive set of QiNetix snapshot-based data protection and availability options. These include ProxyHost, Image Level, Image Level combined with ProxyHost, and QuickRecovery. Choose one or a combination of these described methods to exceed your protection and recovery objectives.

Single Workflow
RecoveryDirector ties together all QiNetix snapshot-based data protection methods into a single, unified workflow. From a single screen, you can simply select the data to protect—or select the volume or application to protect. After using RecoveryDirector to select, you can automatically discover all volumes associated with a specific application. Then you select the desired snapshot method and the data protection operations you want to perform on the selected volumes.

Perhaps you need to protect your Exchange environment? Fast recovery from failure is critical; backup processing cannot hamper Exchange performance. RecoveryDirector's single workflow allows you to select Exchange as your desired application to protect. The volumes housing the exchange database and system information are shown. Your selection is easy. You create a QuickRecovery volume at selected intervals and schedule this same snapshot to perform a daily ProxyHost backup. RecoveryDirector takes care of scheduling all required operations, eliminating duplicate operations and potential for error.

Application-Consistent Snapshot Management
All QiNetix snapshot-based functions allow you to capture critical application data in a state that is internally consistent. Applications such as SQL, Exchange and Oracle maintain state information in buffer memory during normal processing. As part of the QiNetix snapshot process, these applications are quiesced and buffers are flushed to disk. This makes sure that the data captured during a snapshot can be easily understood by the application during the recovery process.

Custom Application Support
Do you have a custom business application that requires the same level of protection? Not a problem with RecoveryDirector. Through the single workflow interface, the administrator can simply specify the appropriate commands to quiesce and un-quiesce the custom application to provide the same application consistency within the snapshot.

Multiple Recovery Points
If you need to recover data to a previous point in time, RecoveryDirector supports Multiple Recovery Points. Multiple snapshots can be maintained in case you need to roll back to a previous point in time. Perhaps an email virus just penetrated your Exchange database, and you weren't able to detect the virus prior to the last snapshot operation. And, that's not all: your latest QuickRecovery snapshot is corrupted as well. No problem for RecoveryDirector. Just select an earlier snapshot and perform a full volume recovery.

RecoveryDirector simplifies your most advanced data protection operations and gives you assurance that your application data is protected as you need it.
