Recovery in case of disaster

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I'm using backup advanced for PC to backup clients.

I'm using an iSCSI mount from my NAS as a cetnralised vault. Everything works perfectly and I'm very happy.

The question I ask myself is how do I recover in case of failure of my Management Server PC. This PC is mounting the iSCSI target and also stores the deduplication DB. It is a single point of failure and should it be offline I can neither backup the other clients nor restore.

Is there some way I could use to ensure this single point of failure coould be quickly restored in a full way in case of catastrophic failure?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello Tryfon,

Thank you for your posting! I would suggest taking an offsite image of the machine with AMS using a bootable media. As the backup will be created under Linux environment of bootable media, you will thus exclude all side-effects of operating system and 3party applications. Validate the backups and if something goes wrong with the Management Server, you can easily restore it from this image. Since you are using deduplication, it's always recommended to backup additionally machine where the db is stored, because without dedup db you can't restore backups residing in the deduplication vault.

Thank you,
