rapid recovery E by ebackup Inc. not only allows any SME corporation to enable their own offsite backup and restore systems, but it can enable corporations to bill and charge internal customers such as departments, workgroups or branches for the backup services that they use. The product performs superior backup and restore functionality and includes functions, features, tools and an architecture designed specifically to deliver backup / restore as a utility service.

Using rapid recovery E, internal divisions can track their consumption of storage used for backup / restore purposes. This tracking is used for budgeting and financial analysis. In addition, rapid recovery E allows managers to justify and recover storage outlays across and from internal customers' budgets based on their particular usage.

The following are some selected features. For more detailed information,
please view the rapid recovery E white paper.

Advanced Billing System

ebackup rapid recovery E includes a multi-tiered billing system which generates invoices, credits, and commissions for routine backup services as well as for ancillary services such as setup / installation, disaster recovery drills, telecommunications and media migration. Storage capacity used for backup is billable either on a $-per-MB-per-month basis or for a flat monthly fee.

System administrators may create numerous billing scales and apply them to each company department differently. In addition, departments may choose to allocate a specific budget that can only be changed by authorized users. This feature helps to keeps costs in line by notifying management when budgets are surpassed.

SLA Management

If an IT department acts as an internal "storage service provider" and charges other departments in the company for their backup needs, those departments are entitled to a specified quality of service. rapid recovery E allows service level agreements (SLA) to exist between various departments and their service providers, with different levels of service priced accordingly. Using rapid recovery E, company departments can determine whether service levels are met - and if not, the software can credit these departments automatically.

Discovery Tool

rapid recovery E includes a sophisticated software module that discovers the characteristics of primary (existing) data on the network or on any particular machine or drive. The Discovery Tool allows administrators to select what is to be discovered and - with the click of a button - generate a variety of "presentation quality" reports in MS Excel, HTML, and text formats. This makes it easy to recognize and predict backup trends, reduce the overall amount of storage that is managed, investigate storage abuse and drive down storage management costs.

Performance Monitoring

Another software module bundled with rapid recovery E allows administrators to monitor the performance of backups. The DS-Statistics Tool collects helpful information such as the duration of the backup, amount of incremental changes since last backup and compression ratios. A variety of different reports can be generated.

Agentless Architecture

rapid recovery E is unique because there is no need to install an "agent" or "client" on every target machine that needs to be protected. The software that ebackup provides fully integrates with NT domains, Trusts and Novell? NDS trees to adopt the LAN's existing security settings.

Efficient Backups

rapid recovery E minimizes the amount of data sent offsite by using delta blocking as well as common file elimination technologies. This ensures that the same data is never transmitted offsite more than twice, thereby conserving bandwidth. Moreover, the software is sophisticated enough to recognize where duplicate data exists, regardless of the location of this data on the network or the names of the individual files.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

rapid recovery E can protect data on a wide range of platforms - including Microsoft Windows, Novell NetWare, UNIX, and Linux. NetWare 3 capability includes support for bindery, and NetWare 4 and 5 includes support for NDS. Windows environments are fully supported including Permissions and Streams on NTFS volumes.

"Live Backup" Capability

MS SQL and MS Exchange are fully supported without a need to stop the service or install any agent on the host machine. In addition, online or "hot" backups for Oracle 8 are also supported.

Advanced Reporting Tools

rapid recovery E generates a variety of different reports, including:
