- A NAS must be placed at each location with a Windows 2000, 2003 or 2008 server on a LAN. Multiple NAS’s can be placed on the same LAN.
- Each selected Server must be completely imaged. Individual files can not be added or omitted from the back up.
- Our solution is a block level backup where we are capturing the entire volume of a server at the 1's and 0's level. Block level data is raw data which does not have a file structure imposed on it. The block-level image is an exact digital duplicate of the on-site server. Database applications such as Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server transfer data in blocks without having to worry if files are open or being used. Block transfer is the most efficient way to write to disk.
- This technology allows for complete server restorations using last functioning server system state before the failure occurred.

At Granite Mountain, we provide True Business Continuity as a core component of our Backup & Disaster Recovery solution. Combine Microsoft Storage Server with our onsite Network Attached Storage (NAS) device and you have full server virtualization. This allows a server which has failed to be restored on the NAS as a virtual image giving you a standby server in less than hour. Since the total image of the server is being restored no configuration changes are needed as the virtual image has the same properties, IP address, NetBIOS name as the failed server and backups continue to happen even when running the virtual image. When new hardware/spares arrive, the virtual image can be shutdown and the latest backup image can be used to perform a bare metal install on the new hardware.
