WD Arkeia Bare-metal Disaster Recovery - license - 1 license

Arkeia Network Backup enables fast bare-metal recovery on x86 and x86-64 platforms using Arkeia's disaster recovery. Arkeia's disaster recovery is compatible with Arkeia's entire suite of on-line backup software on Linux and Windows systems. For all DR solutions the recovery process is always "off-line". That is, the machine is running Arkeia's recovery software, not its usual applications. The replacement machine is booted from a generic Arkeia-provided image delivered on CD, USB stick, or over the network. Then, the version of each file, operating system structure, and boot directive is copied over the network from the collection of Arkeia Backup Sets to eliminate the need to handle media. Because only the latest version is copied, network traffic is minimized and machines are recovered in minimum time.

Arkeia's disaster recovery leverages the Arkeia back-up infrastructure and is compatible with full, differential, or incremental backups. An off-line backup for disaster recovery is created by booting the machine from a Arkeia Network Backup start-up image, typically from a CD, but alternatively from a USB drive or network site. Bare Metal Restore (BMR) license permits bare-metal backup for an unlimited bumber of clients per backup server. WD Arkeia support BMR on the Windows and Linux platforms. A bootable CD is written on a Backup Server and used to re-image the target machine.
