Online Server Backup

Online Server Backup

Online Server Backup is sometimes called hot imaging or online imaging. An online server backup is software or a service which creates a complete backup of your server while it is still operational – while it is still being used in your enterprise.  Traditional backup requires you to take a server offline to perform a backup. However, new methods are allowing you to keep the server running while that backup is taking place.

One method is to use volume snapshot technology, like that in StorageCraft ShadowProtect, to create a point-in-time backup of your server volumes without ever taking your server offline. These backup images are compressed and encrypted and can be saved to various disk devices to be used in the event of a catastrophic failure, such as a server crash or other disaster.

Another method is to purchase a service which performs a backup of your server to an off-site location using outside-party hardware. The charge for these services depends on your contract – it can be based on time (monthly, quarterly, yearly), the amount of data you’re backing up, or both.
