Definition of Cold Server Disaster Recovery
As a continuation of
disaster recovery, there is also a term of cold server disaster
recovery that involves a very basic method of data recovery.
This method was the first type of data recovery addressed as it
involves tapes, employee interaction, and a recovery facility.
It is a very slow method because of the
manual labor involved and the use of tapes. Of all the types of disaster recoveries mentioned,
cold server disaster recovery is the least successful in regards
to backup retrieval and restoration. In the past,
USB hard drive backup and
Windows backup
were rarely used but this type of recovery technique is become a
lot more popular due to its cost and time savings.
BackupChain is the backup program you need to quickly backup and restore your servers at a low cost. It has been also successfully used in virtual environments to create continuous VMware replicas and Hyper-V VM replica processes.
