Bare Metal Restore 10% Discount Offer From Storage Guardian

Storage Guardian, a provider of online backup services, announced the offer of a 10% discount for new clients whose current provider does not supply ‘bare metal restore’ capability. Bare metal restore is a technique in the field of data recovery and restoration where the backed up data is available in a form that allows one to restore a computer system from ‘bare metal’ (i.e., without any requirements as to previously installed software or operating system).

“If your server gets destroyed and another machine must be brought in, backing up your files without the systems settings will cost you plenty in man hours to get you where you were,” said Dave Minns, Operations Manager, Storage Guardian. “This is the hidden cost of not getting bare metal restore, which is a special capability of the Storage Guardian online backup service.”

Storage Guardian can quickly perform a ‘bare metal restore’ on your replacement server(s) – backing up all data, network paths, server names and other settings that were on the original machine. You can have a new server up and running in a couple of hours, enabling your company to get back to work without service interruptions.

Storage Guardian is unique because it can perform ‘bare metal restores’ onto hardware that is not identical to the original machine – and can still transfer critical network and server settings onto the new server for faster uptime.
