The engineering team wanted to take a moment and provide a sneak peek for our upcoming Advanced Backup product. The service will be based on the EMC Avamar platform and is meant to function differently to our existing backup solution based on R1Soft’s Righteous. The Advanced Backup service is not released as of yet.

Hosting.com understands the challenges of maintaining accurate, dependable backup and recovery processes to ensure you can recover in any event. Hosting.com’s Advanced Backup is a hosted backup and recovery service that provides reliable, efficient and secure protection of your company’s data, while reducing capital expenses associated with maintaining in-house backup solutions. It centralizes the backup and recovery of servers, network attached storage and virtual environments. Data is automatically backed up to a highly secure data center. Centralized administration and reporting of your company’s data is made available via Hosting.com’s portal.  Our intuitive interface makes data recovery simple, and our reports provide detailed status updates on all of your backup and recovery jobs.

Advanced Backup using EMC Avamar provides the following features and benefits:

Advanced Backup should not be considered a replacement for Hosting.com’s existing Standard Backup, as they have different functionalities.  For example, although Advanced Backup can backup NAS volumes, it cannot perform bare-metal restores.  Each backup solution should be considered based upon the merits of each.
