For our original Exchange disaster recovery system using a SAN, we were replicating everything at a remote site, so we had to purchase twice as much equipment as we really needed. With AppAssure’s Replay, I don't have to have the same equipment at both sites. I can use my existing server hardware at the remote site and bring in newer, higher performing servers here.

Backup and Recovery
The Exchange server is the heart of your business. But you can forget about traditional Exchange backup and recovery solutions. They are slow, unreliable and unpredictable. Nor will they meet your recovery objectives, even after you add additional infrastructure. Replay, on the other hand, leverages its unique continuous application protection foundation to ensure recoverability of Exchange from any failure in minutes.
With Replay you can:
Recover from bare-metal to original or new hardware.
Roll back system disks, files, data volumes, storage groups, and data stores in minutes.
Restore individual emails in minutes.
Off-load all of the backup processing from the production server.
Remedy any failure in minutes
Fast Rollbacks with Replay

Fast Recovery from Failures
Traditional Exchange recovery scenarios require many manual and complex steps to recover Exchange, from re-installing the operating system to copying gigabytes of Exchange data from tape.
But with Replay, you no longer have to worry about whether you have a valid backup or if the Exchange data stores will mount upon recovery. Replay maintains the entire Exchange environment, OS, application, and the data as Windows-mountable recovery points that are available upon demand.
Replay employs a unique instant-replay capability that recovers your server from corrupted or lost Exchange databases, server failures, viruses, or application errors to any point in time in minutes, not hours, regardless of the size of the data set being recovered.
Ensure Reliable Recovery
Having a recovery plan is an important step but just as important is ensuring that the plan is reliable. Traditional Exchange recovery plans are often unreliable because they are difficult to test, difficult to keep up to date, and depend on fallible manual recovery processes, which take inordinate amounts of time to complete. In the case of Exchange database corruption, the recovery process is even more time consuming, and often relies on unpredictable Exchange database maintenance utilities.
Move Backups Off of the Exchange Server
Traditional Exchange backup and recovery solutions place a heavy burden on the production Exchange server during the backup process. Replay eliminates the overhead associated with backup, off-loading the data-store checking and backup-to-tape processing to the Replay server. You simply point your current tape backup solution to the Replay Recovery server to maintain the current data retention policy.
