Keep your data highly available
Data loss happens in all kinds of situations such as hard drive failures, virus attacks, file system crashes, unexpected power outage and even natural disasters. QNAP provides array-based “Storage Disaster Recovery Solution” that includes writable snapshots with VSS support, volume cloning, and remote replication. The storage planning varies with the main purpose of the data volumes. When a data volume is simply a backup for temporary data, a quick snapshot setup would be enough. But if a data volume contains important data such as contract records, purchase orders, or itself is a online database storage and cannot accept any downtime, the data volume’s recovery plan should include multiple, local, and remote site backups. The local backup can minimize the recovery time and the remote site backup is perfect for immediate replacement for the original data volume. The remote site backup also gives IT administrators more time to figure out and resolve the issues of the original data volume. When a natural disaster happens, the recovery may take longer than expected which may involve rebuilding new data centre.
