Does HEROware replace my existing tape backup systems?
A. Yes. HEROware replaces tape backup by providing a real-time online version of data that can be used for immediate recovery or failover, should an outage occur. HEROware can also greatly enhance and simplify your current backup strategy by allowing backups to be moved from the production servers to offline servers by backing up a replica of the data. This allows your application servers to dedicate all resources on the applications and not on backup. For branch office support, instead of providing backup hardware and software to each remote location, you can centralize all backup operations by utilizing HEROware to copy the remote locations data to your main data center where backups can be processed by trained personnel and archived along with all other backup media. By using HEROguard, you will have a third total copy of your data for replication and disaster recovery purposes.
