Replay Gives Power Company 3-in-1 Solution: Item-Level Restore, Simple Backup Capabilities, Seamless Disaster Recovery

April 5, 2010 – Reston, VA – AppAssure Software, Inc. is pleased to announce that Lincoln Electric System (LES) has chosen Replay 4 – the award-winning, backup 2.0, backup and disaster recovery solution – to protect its mission-critical data.

LES takes care of all of the power needs for residents and businesses in Lincoln, Nebraska – generating, purchasing, transmitting, and distributing electricity for approximately 127,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers.

When Aaron Anderson, Senior IT Administrator at Lincoln Electric System (LES) and his 25 colleagues in LES’s IT department switched from Lotus Domino to Microsoft Exchange, it meant getting a whole new backup solution.

“We chose AppAssure’s Replay because of its robust backup and recovery application with the range of functionality, including a granular, item-level restore disaster recovery operations,” says Anderson. “The built-in de-dup is great and I like how Replay notifies me if there are any problems.” The result is that Replay 4 gave LES a three-in-one solution for the 471 mailboxes, 2 clustered Windows servers, 6 SQL services, and 6 production hosts with 4 DR hosts, including Item-Level Restore, Simple Backup Capabilities, and Seamless Disaster Recovery.

Lincoln Electric System’s IT department is so satisfied with the AppAssure windows server solution, that they’ve already purchased SQL license for future projects, as they move into SharePoint and need a way to restore item-level documents for the whole company.

Replay 4 backup and disaster recovery software:

  • Eliminates the backup window
  • Creates point-in-time images continuously
  • Reduces server down-time allowing users to access applications (including e-mail) during a live recovery
  • Reduces disk space upwards of 80% with built-in data de-duplication and compression
  • Allows for recovery or messages, files, databases, storage groups or the entire server from bare-metal in just a few clicks
