Case Study: Remote System Backup & Off-site Storage of Tapes
Client: Manufacturer and Distributor of Components
Project Date:
10/18/2004
Objectives:
Under an existing IT outsource agreement the customer requested that Unique Computing Solutions amend the agreement to provided off-site storage of systems backup.
What Makes it Unique:
Unique Computing Solutions (UCS) performs the system backups remotely using VPN technology and Microsoft Terminal Server in administrative mode. Each morning the previous day’s backup is remotely checked by UCS technical staff to see if the job completed normally. If the backup job fails for any reason, UCS technical staff troubleshoots and corrects the problem.The client´s only responsibility is to swap tapes in the tape drive each day. Once a week, typically on Monday mornings, a messenger service picks-up fresh tapes at UCS’s office, drops the fresh tapes off at the client site, picks up the previous weeks tape at the client and drops them back off at UCS office.
End Result:
Unique Computing Solutions configured and scheduled Veritas BackupExec to peform full system backups and differential backups of File Servers and Microsoft Exchange Server. The client has an off-site storage of data tapes just in case of theft or a catastrophic event occurs at the manufacturing facility.
