True Enterprise-level SharePoint Backup
Protect entire SharePoint environments, from individual items and sites to web applications, content databases, index servers and even IIS settings. Full-fidelity backup includes all metadata, securities, version histories, and customized layouts. Unique granular backup scheduling allows you to run your backup processes according to business needs or organizational timetables. It also automatically detects new SharePoint content and performs scheduled or on-demand full, incremental, and differential backups.
Restores With Minimal Business Interruption and Data Loss
Quickly and easily recover all SharePoint components, databases, indexes, and configurations. Granular recovery of critical documents, sites or sub sites can be processed in a live SharePoint environment during normal business hours. Missing or corrupted information can be instantly restored directly to the original media. Accessible controls via a browser-based interface (integrated with Active Directory) allow designated administrators to monitor all SharePoint farms in the company’s environment 24×7.
Satisfy Stringent RTO’s and RPO’s Within Your SLAs
Complex SharePoint farm configurations and additional components reduce the ability to meet high SLA requirements, specifically recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO). Additional potential failure points make management more complicated. DocAve Backup and Recovery minimizes downtime and data loss and satisfies even the most aggressive SLAs.
