The easiest way to migrate from backup tapes
to reliable online backups

Storage Guardian’s software recognizes VERITAS Backup Exec and Microsoft Tape Format and converts them into a Backup Lifecycle Management archive package that can be integrated into an online, tiered-storage system. Storage Guardian’s tiered-storage approach automatically selects the most cost-effective online storage strategy, and makes all data instantly accessible.

Here are some of our online data backup features:

• Our tiered-storage approach includes a) a local backup of first-generation data; b) a highly available second tier of online backup; c) a third tier of near-line backups of mature data (typically backups that have aged past 90 days).
• Convenience and flexibility are two crucial considerations when a major data restore is needed after a catastrophic server failure. Storage Guardian offers the ability to perform a "bare metal restore" to a completely different computer.
• To save time, the initial backup is performed on an external drive that is shipped to Storage Guardian. Similarly, if a major restore of a large amount of data is needed, Storage Guardian can overnight an external drive containing the restore data.
• Storage Guardian’s ultra-secure online backup technology uses AES 256-bit encryption PLUS hardware authentication.
• Storage Guardian can also backup and restore individual mailboxes and contacts from MS Exchange and Outlook.
• There is absolutely NO hardware cost to you; we provide everything you'll need for a smooth transition.
• The security of your data is important, so we do de-duplication and encryption before we send data off-site.
