What are the information synchronicity issues associated with more traditional “hot” backup methods and how does CYA SmartRecovery help solve them?
“Hot” backup solutions have become very popular since they eliminate the need to take applications offline for the backups. However, these solutions frequently back up the file server containing the ECM content and the database containing the content’s related, complex metadata asynchronously – one after the other. This can result in broken relationships, because changes can be made to one or the other by users during the backup process. These broken relationships, or corruptions, render information inaccessible, causing lost productivity and non-compliance with regulations requiring the preservation of information down to the individual record.
