With this solution, after the initial installation, there is nothing to do except run your incremental backups the way you do now. All of the point solutions you have to perform Bare Metal Restores are no longer needed. No more local tape drives or monitoring the processes, no more administrators time tracking the backups, dealing with the media, wondering if you remembered everything. And we're not even talking about the time saved when you actually have to use it for a Bare Metal Restore. It is automated in both daily operations and during the restoration. That's where the value comes in.
Weigh the entire solution: what it costs you before you implement BMR and after. Most companies get back their investment within the first 6 months of use. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This message contains information which may be confidential and privileged.
