Thecus RAID Volume Replication
To backup one RAID volume to another one within a single NAS
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on September 6, 2010 at 3:05 pmData backup is an important task that needs to be performed regularly, therefore, IT administrators are constantly searching for alternative backup solutions to help them simplify backup tasks. For that, Thecus Tech Corp., has a solution. The RAID Volume Replication system from Thecus is a convenient and easy-to-use data backup utility, offering a new data backup experience.
Thecus RAID Volume Replication enables NAS administrators to backup all of the data from one RAID volume to another RAID volume within a single Thecus NAS. Unlike remote backup methods in which data are transferred from one device to another via internet or intranet, RAID Volume backup takes place internally within a Thecus NAS, therefore, data can be transferred faster and with more stability, which greatly reduce the chances of backup failure caused by connection interruptions.
When backup has been completed, the target hard drives containing the backup data can be removed from Thecus NAS and stored in a secure place. In the event of data lost caused by unrecoverable RAID damage, NAS administrators can simply insert the target hard drives back to Thecus NAS and instantly restore data without the need to wait for RAID rebuilding. Furthermore, the target hard drives can also be used on other Thecus NAS that supports the same file system for added flexibility.
