The backups are stored in a proprietary format between the dedupe pool of data and the unique data for each asset. For restore we can instantly convert image-level backups to vmdk for VMware, vhdx for Hyper-v or qcow2 to boot on the appliances built in hypervisor. The restore process of creating the vm in the host and migrating the data back is automated.
Dedupe means we’re checking each block, or file depending on the backup job type, storing the hash in a DB and comparing all future blocks/file to see if there are duplicates. If there are, we will reference it in the DB and not store the duplicate data.
A new appliance will be sent to the customer and will simultaneously start backing up together with the smaller box. When the new appliance has “caught up” with all the backups that need to be performed, the old one will be returned. You will not be charged two subscriptions during this period.
These non-Unitrends cloud locations are considered cold targets. With an existing Unitrends appliance, sort your recovery menu by cold targets. If restoring from cold targets with a new appliance, you’ll have to connect the appliance to the cold target, scan the media, then follow the same steps.
There are several options. If there’s existing infrastructure still in place, we can do an IPSEC site-to-site tunnel. If there’s no site or equipment to connect via a VPN tunnel, then we will provide an OpenVPN client executable that has the CAs embedded. Simply run the client on a client machine and it will connect to the assets running in the Unitrends cloud.
Seed drives have an associated cost. If you need this service, please contact your vendor. The price may change from time to time.
If you are using a physical appliance, a new subscription for a larger appliance needs to be purchased with a new contract period. The old subscription can be stopped. Keep the old appliance until the local retention is caught up and then return it to your vendor.
The cloud restoration is subjected to the processing power of the cloud appliance. The Internet bandwidth will affect how fast can you reach the DR Site.
