How Do Rapid Recovery and Azure Work Together for Offsite Backups?

Hi, my name is Danny German. I work for Quest. I work out of the Sydney office in Australia. I'm a pre-sales consultant, I look after the data protection portfolio. So in today's short video I'm going to show you how Rapid Recovery utilizes Azure for site backup and recovery. So when you look at the screen here on the left hand side, you have your standard office. So you have your Windows Server running Rapid Recovery, and it's backing up all your data. Your virtual machines and all your data on your physical servers and all your applications. Your email, and file and print, et cetera. OK, but what happens if you actually lose that core? Maybe there's an office fire or something happens, you need to make sure that your data is off site. OK? So Rapid Recovery has a replication facility built into it, and we can utilize Azure as a replication target. There's a couple of different options, OK? I've got two different options. One is to run an Azure virtual machine, so there's a template in Azure that you can actually deploy. This is this top option here. It runs an active virtual machine, you can actually replicate all your backups. As soon as you do a backup, automatically replicate it to that core running in Azure. Once it's there you have all the restore facilities that you normally do on your local call. So you can restore individual files or restore individually emails, actually recover machines back to your target core on your local site. Or actually to a virtual machine running in Azure. So that's option number one. Option number two is an archiving function, OK? So this is really designed for long term archiver, so it's cheaper than option one. But also you would do it perhaps once a week. You could do it every day, but once a week, once a month, et cetera. So you take all your backups and you archive them to Azure blob storage, OK? Once it's there you can then still restore individual files directly from that archive. And you can also recover your entire machines back to an Azure hosted virtual machine or bring back the data and restore it on your local site. There we go, there's a quick overview on how Rapid Recovery uses Azure for backup and recovery. If you need anymore information-- I've gone through it fairly quickly-- but if you need any more information, please reach out to me. Thank you.
