Quest Rapid Recovery Primary Use Case

DW
IT Admin at LDV, Inc.

We use it to back up all of our data. The only servers that I do not have on here are my VoIP servers. I have a SQL database. I have an ERP server. I've also got a couple of file servers and a couple of domain controllers. I also back up my Hyper-V host machines. So, pretty much everything that we have is backed up here.

We are on the latest version, which is 660268.

It is basically used for everything. It is used all the way from files recovery on a simple basis, where one user accidentally deletes a file and we need to replace it, to a server crash, where we need to bring it up virtually on another unit because the hardware crashed or something like that.

It is deployed on-prem. We have two units with Rapid Recovery. So, we have two DL1300s. It was sold as an appliance package at the time.

In terms of my use case for Quest Rapid Recovery, for one customer, I'm doing a case study, so there's a backup requirement for sixteen to twenty VMs and some physical machines, and there's a need to replicate that backup to the DR site. My company then uses Quest Rapid Recovery for backing up the VMs and replicating them on the websites, so whenever and wherever that is required, the VMs can be restored on the DR site.

We deploy it to all of our servers and we take all of the hard drive images and backups of the servers themselves.

Our primary use case is to replicate all our server data. We still may end up adding more licenses, but we've done our core file and print servers that we would really need that are crucial to the company.

We are actually in the process of purchasing VMware vCenter licenses. So, we have the paid version of VMware vCenter and we're going to be doing offline backups of the virtual machines themselves through VMware. We're going to use Quest as the data solution.

This solution is our on-premises backup server.

It is connected through a VPN to the Azure Rapid recovery backup, off-site virtual server.

We also use it for disaster recovery. If we were to lose the site or the place were to burn down, we could start up a couple of virtual machines on the Azure platform and have users log in via a terminal server through Azure. From there, they could access the MIS system, file server, and other resources until we were able to establish a rebuild of our infrastructure on the school premises.

The major benefit to our organization is the security of the data that we have. We were assured and reassured that we could recover this vital data if there was a critical failure, whether it be on a hardware server, or on a virtual machine. This became apparent over the last six years, where we've had one or two failures on the SQL Server. We've been able to get it up and running with the help of Quest support within a couple of hours.
