The technological development of the past years has resulted in an constantly increasing amount of data.
Many companies are facing the difficulty on how these data should be backed up.

The challenge is to keep the cost of data backup as minimal as possible while increasing the simplicity and redundancy of the backups.

For a very long time, there was no alternative to tape backups. Tape backups are expensive and difficult to maintain and support – especially for smaller companies.

Data syncronisation between remote offices is also very difficult with this solution.

euroNAS server synchronization software provides advanced tools with which the data can be reliably backed up.

To meet the business requirements and keep interruptions in production flow as low as possible, the backups must be performed reliably and quickly.

euroNAS synchronization service is ideal for local backup of the data (eg on a USB drive), data replication to another euroNAS backup server, or data distribution between different sites.

Synchronization server uses its own algorithm to synchronize the data locally or over a network (replicate). During the data synchronisation, when copying large files, only changed bytes within this file are being transferred. These feature increases the performance significantely and saves the bandwith for the production environment.

Near-Line-Backup

If the main server (source server) fails – users can access the data from the secundary server until the main server is back online.
This is a major step forward compared to traditional tape backups, which require much longer to restore. This minimizes downtime and increases productivity.

Data replication between remote offices.

Distribution of the tape backups between different offices is a very time-consuming and expensive option. With euroNAS synchronization you can synchronize the data quickly and easily.
With the ability to determine the bandwidth for data transfer you can minimize the impact on the VPN bandwith. Also you can schedule the data synchronisation in the evening where the network usage is minimal.

Data Consolidation or Data Distribution

euroNAS Server can be used for the consolidation of the companies data.
It can be used as a central storage point for backup, archiving and restoration of data. It also can be used as a source server for distributing data to the companies network.

Flexible time schedule

Server synchronisation can be easely scheduled. The flexible scheduling manager enables you to sync the data hourly, daily or just on certain days (for example every 3 hours or every tuesday).

euroNAS Snapshot Replication

euroNAS server synchronization offers an option to automatically create a snapshot of the data prior replication and to replicate this snapshot.
Snapshot functionality, enables you to create point-in-time backups of your data at almost no impact on performance and with minimal space requirements.
To meet the business requirements and keep interruptions in the production flow as low as possible, the snapshts are performed usually within few seconds, regardless of volume size or level of activity. This enables more reliable replication of files that are currently being accessed – for example data bases, ESX or Xen virtual machines.
