Traditional backup systems are designed to protect systems that are always on, always connected, and are ALL within the datacenter. As a result, their management paradigm is not effective when it comes to protecting systems outside the datacenter, such as laptops and remote office servers. However, Copiun has been designed from the ground up to enable administrators to manage thousands of systems outside the datacenter, which in most cases are connected via low-bandwidth and intermittent connections – whether they be laptops/desktops or remote office infrastructure. In order to effectively manage a large number of systems in this volatile environment outside the datacenter, Copiun provides:
- Policy based interface: Easily create policies and apply them to hundreds of systems, without the need to configure items on a per-machine basis.
- Service level based management: Copiun allows you to define a service level and frees you up from following up on intermittent failures resulting from environmental issues like loss of connectivity, system shutdown, user errors etc. Copiun automatically detects such “false negatives” and fixes them – freeing up precious administrative cycles.
- Continuous recovery testing: Copiun automatically tests the recoverability of every file that is backed up and validates it to make sure valuable corporate data is always recoverable without requiring any administrative cycles. Administrators can view a report at any time that confirms file recoverability.
- Automated, self-scheduling, continuous backup: With Copiun there is no need to manage backup schedules across thousands of systems in potentially different time-zones, this is managed automatically.
- Self managing, self-healing system: The Copiun system auto detects most problems and fixes them.
- Automatic software update: The Copiun Agent Software on remote systems is updated and managed from the backup server itself, thus there is no need to go to the remote system for anything.
- Self-service recovery: Copiun provides self-service recovery via Operating System tools like Windows Explorer and Windows search freeing the backup administrators from having to perform day to day recoveries.
