Scenario: your server\u2019s RAID controller died. But your local backup is intact. Users are saying they want to get running again quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BackupAssist ER kept backup copies of your data both locally and in the cloud. Your objective is to get running again as quickly as possible. That\u2019s where the VM Instant Boot feature in BackupAssist ER can really help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this type of recovery, you\u2019ll boot your local backup as a Hyper-V Guest, so that with nothing more than a spare machine and a modern Windows OS, you can get running again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other good thing about this recovery is your backup is completely preserved and unaltered<\/strong> during the boot process. All future disk writes are applied to differencing disks, so past backups will be unaffected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the BackupAssist ER Challenge Leaderboard, my hands-on time is 3 minutes and 52 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s the video of me doing it: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nContents <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
