Product Details
- Overview
-
Quest Rapid Recovery is backup, replication, and disaster-recovery software for physical servers, virtual machines, applications, and data. It captures block-based recovery points, stores them in managed repositories, and supports file, volume, application, bare-metal, and virtual-machine recovery from a web-based console.
The product’s image-based snapshots and universal restore capabilities can rebuild failed systems, but its primary role is operational recovery rather than standardized endpoint deployment. It belongs under Backup / Disaster Recovery or Data Protection, where districts should manage repository capacity, retention, replication, immutability, recovery verification, supported applications, and recovery-time objectives.
- Features
-
Continuous data protection
- Creates application-aware, block-based recovery points for supported Windows, Linux, physical, and virtual systems.
- Deduplication and compression reduce repository consumption.
Flexible restoration- Supports granular restore, live recovery, bare-metal recovery, virtual standby, replication, and recovery to similar or dissimilar hardware according to workload.
- Verified Recovery can automate selected recovery checks.
Cloud and security options- Supports archive or replication to supported cloud targets, object locking for eligible archives, encryption, and SAML-based administrative authentication.
- Districts should isolate backup administration and regularly prove complete restoration procedures.
- Company News
Rapid Recovery (formerly AppAssure) is a software solution which runs on top of a Windows Server host. The software may be purchased as either a stand-alone product or as a pre-installed rack-mount name brand appliance. In either configuration this central server is known as a “Core”. The core acts as the onsite repository of all backed up data.
When installed with a replication partner AppAssure is a very robust system for backup, replication and disaster recovery. Here’s how it works.
Rapid Recovery (formerly AppAssure) is a software solution which runs on top of a Windows Server host. The software may be purchased as either a stand-alone product or as a pre-installed rack-mount name brand appliance. In either configuration this central server is known as a “Core”. The core acts as the onsite repository of all backed up data.
Like a traditional backup solution, the Rapid Recovery (formerly AppAssure) core communicates to each protected server via a lightweight agent. Following an initial “base” or “seed” of the server the agent monitors changes on the server between each backup. This backup is known as a snapshot. The cadence on this snapshot process is infinitely variable with a minimum value of 5 minutes. At each snapshot interval the agent aggregates all the changed blocks on the server, and following de-duplication and compression, they are written to the core.
Unlike many disk-based solutions the Rapid Recovery (formerly AppAssure) agent and process is very lightweight and has trivial impact on the target server.
