Standby Server
With RK Black’s Instant Virtualization capability a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device can be configured to function as a standby server in less than 30 minutes. This eliminates costly downtime due to server hardware failures. We virtualize servers directly from the backup image so there is no need to convert backup images to virtual hard disks. Once the server is virtualized it retains all of the system settings and application state so it is completely transparent to end users. The backups continue to occur after a server is virtualized so when it comes time to restore back to physical hardware you have the latest changes to your data.

Disaster Recovery Testing
RK Black’s virtualization allows disaster recovery testing by verifying your backup images. There are 3 modes, Real, Test, and Test with Networking. Use the testing modes to verify your images, use Real Mode in the event of a disaster. Your system can be restored in minutes, not days. This provides built-in redundancy and allows shorter RTO's (recovery time objectives).

Backup & Recovery
What would a BDR solution be without solid backups? RK Black’s disk-based NAS allows for quick and easy point-in-time snapshots which take just minutes and won't impact your environment. Only the changes to your data are backed up. Restoration is just as easy, mount your backup file as a drive on the NAS and copy what you need locally or to the network. After the initial base backup, all future backups are incrementals. The RK Black BDR solution backups are not by files, but by the block level. This is below the file and folder level, and is more efficient. An incremental chain is created and only the changes are backed up, reducing backup windows.

Application Recovery
Backup and restore SQL, Sharepoint, and AD databases without additional agents. Just connect to one of your point-in-time snapshots, find your database and transaction log files, and restore using drag and drop functionality. RK Black’s solution also allows for easy document recovery of Sharepoint files through the file explorer.
