QuorumSoft Alike DR 2.23 | 33.6 Mb

Alike DR provides an unparalleled business continuity feature set to protect your XenServer environments. Built upon the high performance, scale on demand architecture of Alike Standard, Alike DR can scale from the smallest to the largest of environments.

With scheduled, deduplicated VM replication, single pass backup and replicate, and offsite vaulting, Alike DR can help lower your RTO and RPO to meet your business' requirements. And since Alike DR costs a fraction of hardware solutions, and less than other BDR products, Alike can fit even a tight budget.

Backup and Archiving Benefits

Alike's unique approach to backup and archival has many business advantages, including easy whole-VM recovery, the ability to inexpensively house multiple point-in-time versions of a VM, and a low impact on the XenServer environment.

Enhanced VM Backup
- Protect XenServer VMs of any size with Alike's high-performance "Enhanced Backup".
- Alike can protect your VMs, accessing the snapshot data directly from your SR, using Alike Backup Delegate (ABD), a tiny virtual appliance (about 128MB) that Alike automatically deploys to a XenServer pool.
- Unrivaled backup performance and scalability.
- High performance with the lightest possible footprint.

Automatic Full or File Level Restore
- Full, high performance, point in time image level recovery for your virtual machines
- Near instant File Level Restore makes your backup data available over a network share with no configuration or additional software needed.
- All backups are compatible with, and can be restored to any version of XenServer
- Rapid recovery using Alike's Enhanced ABD technology>
- Quick and easy restore to a portable OVA/OVF archive format

Independent Drive Selection
- Target any or all drives within a VM for backup or replication.
- Allows Alike protect just the OS drive, data drive(s) or everything.
- Alike only snapshots the drives selected for backup, reducing load on your storage.

Quiesce Support
- Leverages XenServer's native support for quiesced snapshots.
- Provide transactionally-consistent backups of supported applications, such as SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange.

Data Deduplication Benefits

Alike is built from the ground up to use data deduplication. Even the Free version houses backups in the Alike deduplicated data store. The advantage of data deduplication is massive storage savings across all VMs protected by Alike.

Highly Efficient Data Store
- Store globally unique data blocks of data across all your protected virtual machines.
- Supports any local or CIFS compliant storage.
- Optional compression and strong encryption for archived data

Deduplication and Versioning
- Offers source-side deduplication, lowering your network utilization and providing high levels of scalability.
- Efficiently archives many versions of each VM providing for point-in-time restore.

Business Continuity Benefits

All versions of Alike contain powerful features to help address business continuity needs. By conducting backups with Alike Free or Standard, businesses can protect against local data loss resulting from routine hardware failure, problematic upgrades, or operator error. With Alike DR, these benefits can extend to a secondary site or secondary system, protecting against major hardware failure, viruses, power outages, and acts of nature.

Standard Replication
- Scheduled migration of VMs between hosts or pools.
- Scheduled ongoing replication of VMs for added protection.

Enhanced Replication
- Extremely high performance VM replication between hosts or pools.
- Transfers only changed data allowing replication over low bandwidth connections.
- Flexible push or pull data flow configuration.
- Available Single-pass backup and replication option, significantly reduces your administrative effort and job times.

Offsite Vaulting
- Allows you to selectively replicate backup history and data to a secure offsite location.
- Highly efficient, post-deduplicated network transfer ensures the best possible use of your bandwidth.
- Flexible selection of data to vault allows you to determine what data is transferred.
- Provides a completely disctinct, fully capable restore path in the event of an 'onsite' disaster.

Deployment and Management Benefits

Alike offers manageability features that mean less time is spent configuring and managing backups, and quicker response times when intervention is necessary.

Advanced GUI Interface
- Control job scheduling, restores, and reports on all activity, using an easy to use interface.
- Run Alike on either physical or virtual systems, allowing you to create a backup architecture that is completely separate from your virutal environment.
- Provides syslog integration and email notifications.

Full XenServer Integration
- Easily connect to one or many XenServer hosts or pools.
- Uninterrupted backup any VM, in any power state, on any host within the pool.
- Works with all XenServer supported guest Operating Systems.
- Does not require any installation on hypervisor (dom0)

Leaf Coalesce
- Automates the cleanup of XenServer storage repositories
- Schedules cleanup jobs with or without using Alike Backups.
